Lincoln Linse, an employee at a local lodge, believed he saw the killers that day. While hauling a truckload of canned goods to the lodge, he witnessed four men walking into the woods and later heard “two bangs,” per the Associated Press. Two were dressed in suits, while the other men looked “scruffy.” The next day, while Linse was gassing up, the two men pulled into the station in a black car. Linse distinctly recalled one of them. “I could tell he had a tattoo on his arm,” he told KATU. “The tattoo was of a naked lady with a bikini. Also at that time, he had a beaded belt. There was a name on the beaded belt: Ralph.”
