Saturday.

 
Argos End of Watch June 5,1987.                            Mick

The Portland, Oregon Police Bureau’s Canine Unit hosted an open house
and dedication ceremony for the newly created Canine Memorial, located
in front of the Canine Unit office and public safety building at 4735 East
Burnside Street, formerly Southeast Precinct. 

The memorial project was made possible through countless hours of 
work by local artist Richard A. Moore III, as well as many donors, such
as the Portland Police Historical Society and Adventist Credit Union,
following the tragic shooting death of Portland Police K-9 Mick (above)
in 2014.

It was on this day in 1927.

On this day in 1924, fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks was murdered in a 
"thrill killing" committed by Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb. The
killers were students at the University of Chicago.

Nathan Leopold (left) and his partner Richard Loeb. (right) confessed
that they had kidnapped and murdered Bobby Franks solely for the
thrill of the experience.

Founded on this day in 1881.
