Oregon Woman's 1993 Death Reclassified as Homicide, Cold Case Reopened
A new review of evidence and injuries led medical examiners to change the ruling, and detectives are now seeking information from the public.
- More than 30 years after 45-year-old Astrid Bridges was found deceased in her Overlook Court home on July 2, 1993, the Gresham Police Department reopened the investigation after the Medical Examiner reclassified her death as a homicide.
- Responding to the scene in 1993, investigators found Bridges deceased and the Medical Examiner Office ruled the death accidental, though they collected physical evidence, interviewed family, and canvassed the neighborhood.
- A re-examination of physical evidence and injuries led the Medical Examiner Office to determine the death should be classified as a homicide, prompting authorities to officially reopen the case for active investigation.
- Gullberg said the department can now assign these important cases to Detectives thanks to the voter-approved Police and Fire levy and the Gresham Police Officer's Association partnership supporting additional detective hiring.
- Detectives with the Gresham Police Department are leading the investigation with assistance from the Multnomah County District Attorney Office, and anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Tyson Conroy.
