Medford, Ore.– Dave Lewis loved to fish and boat.His family members said the last six years without him have been hard to bare.
Lewis’ relative wanted to remain anonymous but said, “He’s missed without a doubt you know. He still lives in the household in commentary and you know it’s part of a daily routine. It’s a great deal of sadness having someone taken away from you.”
On September 4, 2008 the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said Lewis’ Ashland house on Dead Indian Memorial was burned to the ground with Lewis inside.
No suspects in the case, but investigators said it’s still active.
“The fact that it has gone on for six years open and unsolved is really difficult.”
The Tommy Foundation said since day one they’ve been helping Lewis’ family.
“On behalf of the families we act as liaisons between law enforcement and the families because sometimes the families just cant handle it,”said Dannielle Trotter, co-founder of The Tommy Foundation
She said they’re trained to help families of the missing and murdered.
“Its’ a day to day support system.”
A support system Lewis’ family is thankful for, they said they just wish more tips were coming in.
“How we’re feeling is quite frustrated that the investigation has been so slow.”
But still they say they won’t give up hope, not even six years later. Lewis’ sister is offering a $20,000 reward for information on who killed her brother.
