That means 26 sets of friends, family, loved ones left waiting for an answer that may never come. but the police never stop running down new leads and using new forensic techniques to examine the evidence. “A homicide case is never closed,” said Sheriff’s Lt. D.J. Miller. The oldest unsolved homicide in the county stems from an Oct. 13, 1968 case, where two women were found strangled on Highway 101 near the McNabb Ranch. The most recent is the shooting death of Laytonville resident Les Crane last November. On average, there are between four and five homicides in Mendocino County every year, although there was a period in the 1980s when the numbers tracked higher, between seven and nine a year. Over the last six years, three cases remain unsolved. Jergund Knemeyer, 57, of Willits, was found beaten to death in his home on Aug. 8, 1999. Miller said police believe Knemeyer was killed at least three days before his body was found. Miller said Knemeyer was involved in the cultivation of marijuana, and that sheriff’s deputies are continu- ing to follow up on leads. Charles Mitchell, 66, and Nolan Mitchell, 34, both of Ukiah, were killed in their home near the Pinoleville Reservation on Oct. 31, 2004. Charles was found beaten to death in the yard and Nolan was shot in his bed, though police are still unclear as to the order in which they died. The family is working with the Sheriff’s Office to solve the case, and a $15,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer(s). Les Crane, 39, of Laytonville, was killed in his home Nov. 18, 2005. Sheriff’s deputies said it appeared Crane was shot to death during a home invasion. An unknown amount of money and processed marijuana was taken from the location. Crane was a medical marijuana provider and owner of Mendo Spiritual Remedies, in Laytonville, and Hemp Plus Ministry in Ukiah. Jennifer Drewry, who was in the house at the time of the murder, said four to six people in black

Bicyclists might feel safer and some applicants for retail business construction might not after last night’s city council vote on the airport Iindustrial park proposed for Ukiah. The council voted to require the construction of bike paths separate from the roadway, and to ban retail businesses unrelated to the industries that would occupy the 155-acre tract between the airport and U.S. 101. The council has expressed concern in several past meetings that uncontrolled retail development in the park would have an adverse effect on businesses closer to downtown, thereby thwarting efforts to revitalize the downtown area. Councilmember Ted Feibusch said he was “not ready” to let the marketplace determine what sorts of retail businesses might locate in the proposed park. Feibusch also supported a suggestion by Public Works Director Al Kruth that bike paths be provided apart from the roadway, thereby lessening the cost those lanes would have inflicted upon developers had they been included as part of a roadbed built to stand up to heavy truck use. Said he, “I don’t feel I want to do away with bike lanes.” Photo courtesy of the Robert J.

This upset the then board of supervisors who, very logically, asked that Eriksen substantiate that portion of the report. He was unable to do so. The present board has not given Eriksen any instructions as to whether marijuana should be included in his report. But Eriksen has turned to the press and it has paid off. Certainly no one disputes the fact that this county does produce a very healthy pot crop. Exhibits expose photography’s role And certainly the value is in the millions, but how many millions? Eriksen contends he arrived at the $100 million by talking in telling story of 1906 earthquake with growers (who will, of course, remain anonymous) and by simply observing those funny gardens while traveling about By LISA LEFF smelled money in the ashes, The point is proven by the attributes the extensive photo- the county.
