‎10/29/2012: Portland, Oregon: Investigators have identified the body of a girl 
found in Washington Park on June 26 as a runaway from San Diego. Mark Beebout (right) is accused of killing two women in Portland, one whose body was found in a Belmont Street apartment and the other whose body was discovered in Washington Park. Mark Beebout is facing aggravated murder charges for the death of Mayra Sophia Cruz Rodriguez (center). Police had released a composite drawing of the girl in hopes of learning her identity (far left).

Portland police said she was visiting relatives in Vancouver when she was reported as a runaway June 15. She was also reported as a runaway in San Diego County prior to that.

Detectives distributed a sketch of Cruz to the public and authorities nationwide after her body was found, seeking help identifying her.

Beebout, a registered sex offender, was charged with killing her before she had been identified. He is also accused of killing Nikayla Powell. That woman's body was found in a southeast Portland apartment in July.

Police said Powell invited Beebout to stay with her after meeting him through a volunteer program that helps the homeless.

Detectives are asking for more details regarding the 15-year-old girl and Beebout. If you have any information, contact detectives at 503-823-0991 or 503-823-0457.

November, 1997 - Hit and Run - Kanawha County

On November 25, 1997, a body was located near the eastbound entrance ramp of I-64 at Dunbar. The body was identified as that of Cecil E. Dowell, age 46, of Edmond in Fayette County, WV. The investigation revealed that Dowell was reported as a missing person on November 5, 1997. The autopsy showed that the time of death was near the November 5th date and was caused by injuries sustained as a result of being struck by a vehicle. Further investigation found that the striking vehicle was definitely a Glacier Blue colored Chrysler vehicle and was a 1984, 1985, or 1988 model. It is also believed that the vehicle could be a 1984 or 1985 Plymouth Voyager or Dodge Caravan due to vehicle parts located at the scene, however, the latter could be due to a previous accident. It is the theory of the investigating officers that a person or persons unknown may have struck the subject not knowing that a person had been hit. The West Virginia State Police wish to close this investigation, anyone with information can provide anonymous information via www.wvcrime.com
 
 or to the Winfield Detachment at 304-586-2000 or via fax at 304-586-0763.
