Bernard Hirst III, 54, was found dead inside his Olalla, Washington home after a violent attack in late March 1982. Deputies discovered him on March 30, 1982, at a residence along the 15000 block of Crescent Valley Road with severe head wounds; the scene indicated the assault occurred inside his house.

Investigators noted his vintage motorcycles were missing and there were signs someone tried to burn the home, details that point to both theft and an effort to destroy evidence. Despite those distinctive elements, no arrests are reported and no suspect has been publicly identified. If anyone knew Bernard, his motorcycles, or saw activity near Crescent Valley Road in late March 1982, please share what you know.
