Democratic and Republican leaders from the Oregon House of Representatives have formally requested the FBI to investigate the unsolved murder of Oregon Corrections Director Michael Francke, who was killed in 1989. They expressed concern in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel asserting that, currently, no law enforcement agencies in Oregon are investigating the case. The urgency is underscored by the fact that the individual previously convicted of Francke's murder has been declared innocent, raising questions about the integrity of the original investigation and potential further legal implications.
In a bipartisan effort, Oregon House leaders have reached out to the FBI, urging an investigation into the unsolved 1989 murder of Oregon Corrections Director Michael Francke, emphasizing that no local agency is currently pursuing the case.
The call for FBI intervention by House Majority Leader Ben Bowman and House Minority Leader Christine Drazan reflects a growing urgency in the state to address this long-standing unsolved crime related to the wrongful conviction of a previously accused man.
