On Saturday the Clatsop County Interagency Narcotic Team and detectives with the Seaside Police Department served a search warrant for drugs and stolen property at 1605 N. Wahanna Road.

The warrant was obtained after deputies and Seaside officers responded to several calls for service about squatting and drug-related activity at the residence, as well as numerous complaints from neighbors, According to a news release from the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office.

Officers located and seized methamphetamine, heroin, digital scales, packaging material, records of drug sales and several other controlled substances during the search. Detectives also found and recovered stolen items, hundreds of used hypodermic needles and drug paraphernalia.

“Due to the dangerous living conditions in the residence, detectives contacted the Fire Marshal of Seaside and the Clatsop County electrical inspector, who determined the residence was dangerous and uninhabitable,” the release stated.

The evidence gave detectives probable cause to arrest two other suspects Monday. Vicky Renea Moyer, 43, was arrested for delivery and possession of heroin, possession of prescription amphetamine tablets and possession of ecstasy tablets. William Berkley Waddell, 46, was arrested and charged with delivery and possession of heroin and possession of methamphetamine.

Christian J. Wilkins and Adeena M. Copell are coming home for trial. The Clatsop County couple is accused of killing Agate Beach man Howard Daniel Vinge, stealing his vehicle and RV and fleeing to Arizona.

The two were charged by the Clatsop County District Attorney’s office with murder, abuse of a corpse and two counts each of unauthorized use of a vehicle. Copell was also charged with hindering the prosecution by hiding or destroying evidence.

Vinge’s corpse was found Sept. 30 wrapped in material about 3 miles east of Astoria along U.S. Highway 30. The state Medical Examiner’s Office determined he died from blunt force trauma to the back of the head.

After the alleged murder, Copell and Wilkins reportedly stole Vinge’s RV and Lincoln Continental. Vinge’s motorhome was found abandoned about 12 miles east of Seaside near the intersection of U.S. Highway 26 and Oregon Highway 53.

The couple were found Oct. 4 near Flagstaff, Arizona, driving the Lincoln and were arrested for unauthorized use of a vehicle.

They appeared in court this morning in Coconino County Superior Court, which is equivalent to Clatsop County Circuit Court. During the hearing, they were given a copy of the grand jury’s indictment and the couple waived their right to an extradition hearing. District Attorney Josh Marquis said the pair will likely be arraigned locally in early November, after the county sends someone to transport them from Arizona.

Wilkins and Copell face a maximum sentence of life in prison for the alleged murder.

Investigators are asking anyone who had contact with Copell, Wilkins or Vinge since Sept. 1 to contact law enforcement at 503-325-2061. Police believe the couple befriended Vinge sometime during the summer, likely near Vinge’s home in Agate Beach.

Investigators learned that while allegedly disposing of the body between Sept. 21 and 27, the pair may have encountered a man and woman in a black car. Investigators are urging the potential witnesses to come forward.

A Garibaldi man was arrested Tuesday evening after allegedly pointing a gun at two men in a utility truck during a road rage incident.

Jacob Allen Olson, 34, was arrested for menacing and unlawful use of a weapon. A rifle was recovered from his vehicle.

The incident began in Warrenton. The complainants alleged the suspect pulled out in front of them, making obscene gestures. Olson alleged he was being followed by the complainants.

The incident came to an end on Industry Street near Hamburg Avenue in Astoria, when Olson allegedly pointed a firearm at one of the complainants.

“It’s unfortunate that this situation progressed to this point,” Astoria Deputy Police Chief Eric Halverson said in a statement. “There are a lot of things that both parties could have done to prevent things from ending up this way.

Halverson advised drivers to be patient, stop following a vehicle if they believe there is a problem, pull over and let a tailgating driver pass, and call 911 if they believe a road rage incident is occurring.

“We’re grateful that this situation didn’t end up in tragedy,” he said.

The defense of accused killer Randy Roden presented a key medical witness Tuesday as it tries to prove a flesh-eating bacterial infection killed 2-year-old Evangelina Wing.

Roden, 28, has been charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend Dorothy Wing’s daughter and abusing her two sons, now 3 and 7, in a Seaside apartment the two shared two years ago. He faces the death penalty if convicted.

The couple called 911 on Dec. 20, 2014, after discovering Wing’s daughter unresponsive. Her two sons were also found injured and taken into protective custody. Prosecutors believe the children were tortured, burned, bitten and caged in the months before Evangelina Wing’s death, in one of the worst cases of child abuse in Clatsop County’s history.

Wing, who pleaded guilty in January to first-degree manslaughter and two counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment, testified last week. In exchange for testifying against Roden, she will receive a plea deal that brings her prison sentence down from a life sentence to approximately 15 years.

An autopsy found the toddler died of battered child syndrome with blunt force trauma to her head. But Roden’s attorney, Conor Huseby, argues that Dorothy Wing caused her daughter’s death through abuse, along with complications from the flesh-eating virus methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection, which was found on the children. Huseby has sought to have the case dismissed because signs of the infection were never investigated.

On Tuesday, Huseby called Dr. Janice Ophoven, a Minnesota-based pediatric forensic pathologist hired by defense attorneys to provide expert testimony. Ophoven argued that while Evangelina Wing sustained abuse and neglect, she ultimately succumbed to septicemia, in which a bacterial infection enters the blood stream.

Ophoven disagreed with the state’s autopsy, arguing that some of the marks on Evangelina Wing and her brothers identified as burns were actually lesions from impetigo, a highly contagious skin infection that causes red sores.

“In my opinion, these children were literally covered with these open sores that were infected with bacteria,” she said.

If bacteria enters the blood stream from such sores, she said, the toxins they create can inhibit the body’s ability to maintain blood pressure.

“Children will eventually get to a condition known as irreversible shock,” Ophoven said.

The shock causes the body to lose consciousness, she said, and stops circulation to the brain. “Once you enter irreversible shock, you’re probably going to be gone within a couple hours or so.”

Ophoven said the autopsy should have considered infectious causes of death, taking more samples from the lesions and the heart muscles, on which abscesses were found.

Under questioning by Deputy District Attorney Ron Brown, who is leading the prosecution, Ophoven said her last autopsy was in 2009. She said her last autopsy in a suspected child homicide was in the 1990s. Brown also pointed to an autopsy performed by Ophoven in the 1980s in which she concluded a child died of natural causes, before the mother later admitted that her boyfriend suffocated the child.

Brown led Ophoven through a series of photos showing the marks on the bodies of Evangelina Wing and her two brothers, asking her if it looked like signs of trauma. Ophoven said she agreed there was child abuse, and that trauma played a part in Evangelina Wing’s injuries and death. But she maintained that the toxic bacteria entering the blood stream and leading to irreversible shock caused her death.

There should have been an infectious autopsy performed, she said, looking at things under a microscope instead of with the naked eye. “You have to look at it scientifically. We (forensic pathologists) are not supposed to speculate.”
