Oregon Woman Still Missing 4 Days After Murdering Husband

Analiesa Golde, a woman wanted in connection with the second-degree murder of her husband, Phillip E. Pierce, has been missing from her Oregon home for four days, according to CBS News.

Portland police are urging the public to help locate Golde, emphasizing that she "should be considered armed and dangerous."

Oregon authorities believe she may be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner.

The 37-year-old Oregon man was discovered dead from a gunshot wound in their home on Friday, January 26.

The police were initially alerted for a wellness check around 8:45 AM that morning.

Upon arrival, they found the residence locked and had to forcefully enter. The investigation into the Oregon man's death is being treated as a homicide.

Urgent Warning and Search Efforts

Investigators issued a stern warning, urging anyone who spots the Oregon woman, Analiesa Golde, to immediately call 911, per the NY Post.

"Golde should be considered armed and dangerous," investigators warned.

The missing person report originated from Portland's Lents neighborhood shortly before 9 AM Friday.

During a search in the vicinity, information surfaced suggesting the Oregon man might be inside a locked home on Sun Crest Drive.

Police entered the house, discovering Pierce deceased and identifying the Oregon woman as the prime suspect. The motive for the crime remains unclear.

Golde's current whereabouts are unknown, and police have provided details about the vehicle she may be driving - a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with Oregon license plate 501HSB.

The vehicle is distinct, with decals in the rear and side windows that read "Uplifted Aesthetics."

Neighbors React and City Homicide Statistics

Neighbors in the area, while shocked by the incident, express varying degrees of concern about the safety of the neighborhood.

Sonia Bouchard, who witnessed police presence at the scene, described the couple as keeping to themselves, KGW8 noted.

"He seems like he was in his garage working outside a lot on cars and motorcycles, but they kept to themselves; they didn't interact with the neighbors too much," she said. "I just think it's probably just a very individual situation."

Another neighbor noted an age gap between the Oregon woman and her husband but mentioned that they appeared to have a functional relationship.

"[They are] normal, normal people. I would not have expected this," the woman added.

Portland has seen its seventh reported homicide this year, contributing to an ongoing challenge with gun violence in Oregon.

EveryStat, the statistics arm of gun-control advocacy organization EveryTown, reveals a concerning trend in recent years.

Gun homicide in Oregon increased by 135% from 2012 to 2021, with an average of 587 people dying from gun violence annually.

As the search intensifies for Analiesa Golde, the public's assistance is crucial. Portland residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any sightings of Golde or the specified vehicle to 911 immediately.

The tragic event highlights the broader issue of gun violence in Oregon, emphasizing the need for community awareness and preventative measures to address the alarming statistics.

The police investigation continues, and updates will be provided as new information emerges.
