Analiesa Golde: 'Armed and dangerous' Oregon woman at large after fatally shooting her husband

PORTLAND, OREGON: Portland authorities are currently looking for an 'armed and dangerous' Oregon woman who reportedly fatally stabbed her husband and left his body in a home in the Lents neighborhood. On Monday, January 29, police wrote in an announcement that Analiesa Golde, 55, faces a count of murder in the second degree.

Officers said they were dispatched on Friday, January 23, at approximately 8.45 am regarding a report of Phillip E Pierce, 37, missing in the 9300 block of Southeast Sun Crest Drive.

Authorities are looking into the incident as a case of homicide

“After an extensive effort to locate him, officers developed information that the man may be inside the locked and secured home,” the authorities said, adding “They forced entry and searched the home to do a welfare check. Inside, they found the man deceased.” The medical examiner determined he died from a gunshot wound and called the death a homicide.

Neighbors reportedly described Phillip E Pierce as 'friendly'

“I would see him in his garage working and we would stop and talk,” neighbor Harold R told Portland Fox-affiliate KPTV. “He’s always been very calm, very collected,” he added. Officers said his family asked for privacy before identifying Golde as the suspect.

The wife’s whereabouts are unknown, police said. They suggest she could be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with the Oregon license plate 501HSB. “Golde should be considered armed and dangerous,” they wrote, adding “Anyone who spots Golde is urged to call 911 immediately.”
