David Jones Peterson's black Jeep Liberty was already missing from the home when his wife Leslie Peterson's body was found September 28 by a daughter.
Police said the Jeep was found abandoned Friday in a remote location in Linn County, Oregon however Mr. Peterson was not found with the vehicle and is considered missing and endangered.
Mr. Peterson was last seen leaving his home with his son, David Joseph Peterson from whom he had been estranged for a number of years, and Holly Ann Grigsby the younger Peterson’s girl friend.
On October both Peterson and his girl friend, who had been sought on a murder charge, were captured without incident by a California Highway Patrol trooper and back up after the trooper checked the plates of a car he found at the side of a road.
When the trooper remembered an “all stop” alert issued hours earlier about two murder suspects he called in the car's license plate number and word came back on the radio the car had been stolen.
The car belonged to 19-year-old Cody Myers or Oregon who'd not been seen since last Saturday October 1st.
Troopers said a search of the suspects' car produced two handguns within reach and a rifle in the trunk.
The car they were driving was a white Plymouth Breeze, which belongs to Mr. Myers. His body was found near Marys Peak in western Oregon, not far from his Lafayette home.
Myers disappeared while driving to a jazz concert.
Authorities say Pedersen and Grigsby are now persons of interest in Myers' death as well. However there has been no word on how police think Meyers may have come in contact with the two murder suspects or how Mr. Meyers died.
The Meyers car had initially been spotted being driven erratically near Millersburg, Ore., around midnight the day he disappeared.
The next morning the same car was seen in Salem, Ore., at a mini-mart where a clerk at the store said a woman who was in that car walked into the store and tried to use a stolen credit card.
Police later determined the credit card belonged to murder victim Leslie Pedersen and they now think the woman in the store and the man in the car were Pederson and Grigsby.
THE LESLIE PEDERSEN MURDER
Leslie Pedersen, 69, was found murdered in her mobile home in Everett in September. She was found with her hands duct-taped together, her head wrapped in a bloody pillow and a sword next to her body.
Both David Joseph Pedersen, and his girlfriend, Holly Ann Grigsby quickly became suspects and was being sought on suspicion of first-degree murder when they were arrested in California.
And David Jones Pedersen, the younger Pedersen’s father, has not been seen since September 26 when he was spotted leaving his home with his son and Grigsby, who had driven up earlier from Portland, Oregon.
The three were seen leaving the Pedersen mobile home a few days before the discovery of his wife’s body.
The younger David Pedersen recently got out of a prison in Oregon. He has an extensive arrest and prison record.
