Body Found In Trunk Monday Was Missing Portland Woman
A man is charged with the murder of Marcine Herinck, who was found dead in the trunk of his car after going missing last week.
PORTLAND, OR — When Marcine Herinck disappeared Sept. 19 police figured the 89-year-old with memory issues might have wandered off. As they investigated, however, it became clear foul play might be a possibility.
On Wednesday morning, Portland Police announced that was the case; Herinck was found dead Monday night — the victim of homicidal violence. Get all the latest information on what's happening in your community by signing up for Patch's newsletters and breaking news alerts.
