Following a recent homicide in Portland, local detectives have turned to the community for help in the ongoing investigation. The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) strongly believes that some residents in the vicinity of Northwest 19th Avenue to Northwest 24th Avenue and Northwest Glisan Street to Northwest Pettygrove Street may possess crucial video recordings from private security or doorbell cameras.
According to a recent update by PPB, these recordings, captured between 5:50 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 11th, could shed light on the circumstances surrounding the death of Krystal Pendergraph. To streamline the collection process, PPB has established an online platform for community members to upload any relevant video material. In a statement released by the official police news release, authorities clarified, "Residents are not required to review their video, look for anything specific, or verify that it captured any activity."
Detectives have underscored the importance of submitting footage in its original form without editing, enhancing, or altering the videos in any manner. Furthermore, they have asked that the video be in a standard file format, readily viewable without the need for proprietary software. A QR code has also been provided to simplify the video upload procedure, accessible via smartphone scanning.
Despite the potential abundance of video data the public may upload, detectives stressed, according to the Portland Police Bureau, "There is no need to follow-up with PPB." A detective will reach out to those who may have submitted any key evidence that warrants further inquiry. To maintain a focused investigation, PPB requests that only footage pertaining to the Krystal Pendergraph case be submitted through this particular link.
Residents willing to cooperate in the investigative process can directly contribute to the case by uploading their footage through the provided online portal. The official update from PPB further encourages anyone with information that could assist in the case, and who has not yet spoken with law enforcement, to reach out via email at [email protected] or call 503-823-0479, referencing case number 25-280342.
