October has arrived, bringing with it a familiar splash of pink. Across the country, and the globe, the month is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Month, an annual campaign to raise public awareness about the disease, encourage early detection and support research into its cure.

After this, Curry County Search and Rescue members were deployed to search the area of Roberts’ vehicle. Search and Rescue members then discovered what is believed to be the remains of Roberts. West Linn Police Department will be putting out additional information as the missing person case was initiated with them.
