  • Echoes in the Siskiyous: The Cowden Family Disappearance

    Echoes in the Siskiyous: The Cowden Family Disappearance
    2025/06/11
    Welcome to Same Crime, Different Time, the podcast where we dig into the eerie echoes of Pacific Northwest history. I’m your host, Jen Chambers—and today, we’re venturing deep into the Siskiyou Mountains for a case that has haunted Oregon for over 50 years. The Cowden family—two parents, two children—vanished without a trace during Labor Day weekend, 1974. Their fate? Unspeakable. Their killer? Still officially unknown.🏕️ PART 1: A Labor Day Getaway It was supposed to be a weekend away. Richard and Belinda Cowden, along with their two kids—5-year-old David and 5-month-old Melissa—headed out to Carberry Creek in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in a 1956 Ford Pickup Truck.Richard Cowden was a log truck driver, and he and his family were from White City Oregon. It was familiar territory for them. Peaceful, quiet.The last time anyone saw them alive was around 9 a.m. on Sunday, September 1st. Richard and David had walked to the Copper General Store to buy a quart of milk. They were calm. Friendly. Nothing seemed out of place. Later that day, Belinda’s mother arrived to join them for dinner. But what she found wasn’t dinner—it was dread. The family was gone. The campsite was eerily untouched—keys on the table, diaper bag and baby food inside the truck, fishing lines in the water. Their pet Basett hound, Droopy, was later found wandering alone.An article on Murderpedia says:"Belinda's mother grew concerned when the family didn't arrive as planned. She headed to their creek-side campsite and found no one there, but all their possessions remained. It was a strange sight: a plastic dishpan of cold water on the ground, truck keys, Belinda's purse, a diaper bag, and a camp stove all clearly visible on a picnic table. A half-full carton of milk bought that morning also sat on the table.Her panic escalated when she noticed Richard's expensive wristwatch and wallet (containing $21) on the ground, along with a pack of cigarettes Belinda smoked. The family truck was still there, parked on the road, with all their clothes except for their swimsuits.She immediately reported it to the police, and law enforcement quickly arrived. Lieutenant Mark Kezar, the lead investigator, later stated that the investigation was 'delayed for maybe a day' due to the initial lack of evidence of any violence. A state trooper, Officer Erickson, famously remarked, 'That camp was spooky; even the milk was still on the table.'"The chronology of hte day they disappearedwas later found to be: Richard and 5 year old son David, left the campsite to go and get some milk for hte family from the store. They apparently came backand went swimming together in a swimming hole, Carberry Creek, that was close by.The detectives thought that later that morning the whole family was kidnapped by a starnger, possibly at gunpoint. They were likely driven away from the scene.🔎 PART 2: The Search Begins Law enforcement launched one of the largest search operations in Oregon history. Volunteers, tracking dogs, helicopters, and even the National Guard combed through the mountainous terrain.Initial Investigation and Public AppealsIn the early stages of the investigation, the Oregon State Police and Jackson County Police interviewed over 150 people regarding the family's disappearance. A $2,000 reward (worth about $12,752 today) was put up for any information. With hunting season approaching, Richard Cowden's sister sent a heartfelt letter to the Medford Mail Tribune, urging hunters to be vigilant for "anything that could be connected to a man, woman, a five-year-old child, or a five-month-old baby." She even asked them to "check freshly turned piles of earth," holding onto hope but also preparing for the worst.Over two hundred citizens wrote to then-Oregon senator Mark Hatfield, pushing for the FBI to get involved. However, this request was denied because there was "no evidence that the Cowdens had been kidnapped or taken across state lines." At the time, law enforcement also tried to link the Cowden case to eight other missing women in Washington and Oregon. It was later discovered that these other disappearances were connected to serial killer Ted Bundy.Let’s hear from Detective Richard Davis, one of the original investigators.He said: “From the moment we saw that campsite, we knew something was wrong. It looked staged, almost too still. Like they’d just stepped away—but hadn’t come back. That’s when your gut tells you—this isn’t a lost person case. This is a crime.” Search teams covered 25 square miles. But it was like the family had vanished into thin air.🪦 PART 3: The Discovery Seven months later, on April 12, 1975, two gold prospectors made a grim discovery. About seven miles from the Cowden campsite, hidden in dense forest near a cave……they found the bodies.Richard’s body was discovered tied to a tree. Belinda, David, and Melissa had been hidden in a small cave, their remains covered with stones....

  • Ghosts of Oregon History I Wish I Could Meet (& Some I'm Glad I Didn't)

    Ghosts of Oregon History I Wish I Could Meet (& Some I'm Glad I Didn't)
    2025/05/28

    Dive into the eerie side of Oregon's past in this episode of Same Crime, Different Time. Host Jennifer Chambers explores the lives—and lingering presences—of figures like Eliza Young, the last of the Kalapuya, and the brave Sheriff W. W. Withers. From pioneering women to unsolved murders, we uncover the haunting stories that shaped the Pacific Northwest.

    Thanks to writer David Lewis, who has the most incredible book, The Indigenous History of the Willamette Valley, which I very much recommend, and to the researchers at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon.

    Most importantly, I appreciate the work done by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, who have generously shared their stories and culture.
