The mother of an Oregon man who was fatally stabbed said she’s hopeful the case will finally be solved after police said they are looking into its possible ties to the brutal knife slayings of four University of Idaho students.
“I want answers for all five of them. If law enforcement can work together and solve both cases that would be the best Christmas present ever,” Myra Juetten told The Independent on Thursday.
The grieving mom made her comments a day after Moscow Police Chief James Frye was asked if his department was “looking into any possible connection” to the attack on Travis and Jamilyn Juetten in Salem on Aug. 13, 2021.
Frye confirmed that last year’s attack, in which Jamilyn was stabbed 19 times, was on his team’s radar.
“We’re looking at every avenue and we have other agencies reaching out to us with other cases and stuff that we are going to follow up on those,” he told reporters.
Travis, 26, died while trying to fight a masked intruder who also attacked his 24-year-old wife as they were sleeping in the Silverton home at 3 a.m, police said.
Juetten told The Independent that she was surprised when she heard Frye’s comments about a possible link, saying she has not been contacted by Idaho authorities.
“I heard it on the news conference the other day that they were exploring it or that they were aware of it – that was the first I knew,” she told the news outlet.
“I did get my hopes up as it’s been a year and a half and we have nothing,” she said, adding that she couldn’t understand why anyone would have wanted to murder her son, who was “the sweetest, kindest, loving person.”

Another connection: The “13th of the Month Slasher” is being floated.
Several mystery stabbing murders done on the 13th of the month in the NW.
The grieving mom made her comments a day after Moscow Police Chief James Frye was asked if his department was “looking into any possible connection” to the attack on Travis and Jamilyn Juetten in Salem on Aug. 13, 2021.
Police say they still do not have a suspect for the stabbing deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21 in the early hours of Nov. 13.
“...she said, adding that she couldn’t understand why anyone would have wanted to murder her son,...”
Sad..doesn’t understand the concept of evil.
The Romans did not number each day of a month from the first to the last day. Instead, they counted back from three fixed points of the month: the Nones (the 5th or 7th, nine days inclusive before the Ides), the Ides (the 13th for most months, but the 15th in March, May, July, and October), and the Kalends (1st of the following month). Originally the Ides were supposed to be determined by the full moon, reflecting the lunar origin of the Roman calendar. In the earliest calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year.[3]
Some “ides” connection?
Look for a Roman Era / Latin scholar?
Maybe. I checked for a moon phase coincidence. No go. Apparently there was a knife-scare incident on the UI campus on Sept. 12. That guy turned himself in to authorities.
Very creepy.
I read ”found on the 14th.” (September) Not sure when she was killed.
It appears that we’ll have to go to bed strapped. /s
I heard that the Oregon and Idaho murders were at least nine hours driving time apart, which seems implausible that there would be a connection.
Many serial killers committed their crimes all over the map. The odds of a connection are low, but it’s worth comparing physical and m.o. evidence to rule it out, if nothing more.
