Detectives Investigate Suspicious Deaths of Two Salem Women Found on Consecutive Days Crime & Courts By Lucille McNamara On Feb 2, 2026 SALEM, Ore. — Detectives are investigating the unrelated “suspicious” deaths of two Salem women on consecutive days. The first woman was found by the police at her home in the 4600 block of Dark Forest Place Northeast on Friday, January 30, at 1.10 p.m. The second woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances near Wallace Marine Park at 6.31 p.m. the following day. Tidings Context In Oregon, a “death requiring investigation” includes deaths under suspicious or unknown circumstances. A medical examiner investigates and certifies cause and manner of death, often alongside law enforcement. The police say the deaths appear unrelated and do not pose a threat to the public. Tidings Insight When police say cases appear unrelated and no public threat, it usually means no evidence links the scenes or suggests an ongoing danger. Details can stay limited until investigators confirm cause and timeline. This is an ongoing investigation. Locations:   Marion County Salem Share Twitter Facebook ReddIt WhatsApp Pinterest Email
