A homicide investigation was initiated after a man was found deceased inside his house.
On Friday, January 26, 2024 at 8:45a.m., East Precinct officers were dispatched to a report of a missing person, an adult male, in the 9300 block of Southeast Sun Crest Drive. After an extensive effort to locate him, officers developed information that the man may be inside the locked and secured home.
They forced entry and searched the home to do a welfare check. Inside, they found the man deceased. Suspicious circumstances at the scene led officers to notify Homicide Unit detectives, who responded to the scene to investigate. For several hours, the investigation closed Southeast Sun Crest Drive between Southeast 92nd Avenue and Southeast Grandview Terrace.
The victim in this case is Phillip E. Pierce, 37, of Portland.
The Portland Police Bureau initially requested the public’s help in locating the suspect involved in the homicide.
Detectives identified Analiesa Golde, the victim’s wife, as the suspect in the case. She was wanted for Murder in the Second Degree.
She was believed to be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with Oregon license plate 501HSB in the Portland area.
After further investigation, detectives found reason to believe Analiesa Golde may be in Southwest Washington. More specifically, the Toutle or Mount St. Helens areas.
Then, on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, Analiesa Golde was found deceased in the Long Beach, WA area. It appears Golde died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her vehicle has been recovered by law enforcement.
