NEWS OF THE WEIRD
Crime report
You’ve heard of Jack the Ripper and the Taco Bell Strangler (or not?). Now Gresham, Oregon, is dealing with its own serial criminal: the Gresham Lumberjack. Someone is cutting down trees along the Springwater Corridor Trail — to the tune of 750 trees since August 2021, KATU-TV reported. But they’re not poaching firewood; the Lumberjack leaves the trees where they fall. The cutting seems to happen at night and with a hand saw (likely because it’s quieter). The city has installed cameras along the trail, and police have a person of interest.
