Washington County authorities announced Tuesday that they had recovered additional remains of an Aloha woman who killed and dismembered in 2018. Jeremiah Johnston, 38, was sentenced in 2019 to life in prison for murdering Sara Zghoul, 28. Authorities found Zghoul’s dismembered body in Johnston’s car, but he refused to reveal what he had done with the woman’s head. The body part was recovered .

Clackamas County deputies have taken more than 12,000 fentanyl pills off the streets in 2021. Anyone who gets pills from anywhere other than a pharmacy should assume they re counterfeit and contain deadly amounts of fentanyl, said tri-county health officer Dr. Jennifer Vines.
Vines says the smallest amount of fentanyl, a man-made version of morphine, can be deadly. So far this year the Westside Inter-Agency Narcotics Team in Washington County has investigated 14 overdose deaths. Ten of those are linked to counterfeit drugs containing fentanyl. In the same timeframe in 2020 we investigated three, said Sgt. Danny DiPietro of the Washington County Sheriff s Office. In 2019 in that same time frame we investigated only one.
