In June, a deceased female was located in the Cottage Grove area who appeared to be the victim of homicide. Lane County Sheriff’s detectives identified the victim as a missing person, Rozaleena Faith Rasmussen, 29, from Cottage Grove.
Detectives identified the suspect as Anthony Wesley Tyrrell, 31, of Cottage Grove. A nationwide warrant was issued for his arrest for Murder in the 2nd Degree. Detectives tracked Tyrrell to Portland, and worked with area agencies on the case.
On Saturday, October 5th, Portland Police Bureau arrested Tyrrell on the warrant and additional local charges while investigating an unrelated incident. Lane County Sheriff’s detectives are continuing to investigate the case while Tyrrell is in custody at the Multnomah County Jail.
For their assistance on this case, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Portland Police Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, U.S. Marshals Service, and Oregon State Police.
