PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police are seeking the public’s help in solving a homicide after a woman was found dead in her car in Northwest Portland over the weekend.

Now the Portland Police Bureau is asking any residents who live or work in the area to provide homicide detectives with any video footage they may have from surveillance or Ring cameras. This is all in hopes of identifying the suspect.

Detectives are focused on the area between Northwest 19th Avenue and Northwest 24th Avenue and between Northwest Glisan Street and Northwest Pettygrove Street, PPB said in a press release.

“They are asking that residents who live and work in that area upload all video that is saved on their systems from 5:50 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 11, 2025,” PPB said. “Residents are not required to review their video, look for anything specific, or verify that it captured any activity. If they wish to help, they should just upload the raw footage from each individual camera.”  

Anyone who has footage for PPB homicide detectives to review in the Pendergraph case can upload the files to the PPB Evidence Submission Portal. People can also use the QR code below to upload the files.

“Please do not edit, enhance, combine into ‘multiview,’ or otherwise alter the footage. Please ensure the footage is in a standard file format and does not require a proprietary player. Detectives will review the video for potential clues,” PPB said.

PPB said the link and QR code are for the Pendergraph case specifically, and only footage related to that case should be uploaded.

Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to contact the Portland police.

Crime Stoppers of Oregon is also offering a $2500 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
