On the evening of November 26, 1960, Larry Ralph Peyton (born March 4, 1941) and his girlfriend, Beverly Ann Allan (born May 16, 1941), disappeared after having made plans to shop at the Lloyd Center shopping mall in Portland, Oregon, United States. The following day, November 27, Peyton's Ford coupe was found in Forest Park, with his mutilated body inside. Allan was missing from the scene, though her purse and coat were still inside the car. A widespread manhunt ensued over the following two months. In January 1961, a highway crew 30 miles (48 km) outside Portland discovered Allan's partially nude body in a ravine, and it was determined she had been raped and strangled to death.
The murders went unsolved for seven years until Edward Jorgensen, his brother Carl Jorgensen and their friend Robert Brom were all charged with first-degree murder. Edward and Brom were convicted, but Carl was acquitted of his charges.[1][2] Both Edward and Brom appealed their convictions to no success, though Edward was released on parole after serving three years of his sentence, and Brom, after serving seven.[3]
The case received widespread national attention and has been credited by some journalists as "the most talked-about and written-about double-murder" in Portland's history.[4] Some investigators have suggested that serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards may have been involved in the killings, as he was questioned early in the investigation.[5]
