March 8 — A 911 caller reported blood present on the walls, window and door of the unisex bathroom at the Bolstad restroom building in Long Beach. She said her husband entered the restroom and discovered the blood. He photographed his observations and also used the adjoining restroom to wash his hands. She said they departed the restroom, stopped at the Long Beach Police Department briefly, and then called 911 after they left.

Upon arrival, an officer observed what appeared to possibly be drops of suspected blood on the door handle, garbage can and an orange traffic cone outside of the southeast restroom. He entered the restroom and observed what appeared to be suspected blood spatter and a couple of suspected blood smears throughout the restroom. A paper towel and/or toilet paper with red stains was also present on the garbage can and on the floor inside the restroom. He also observed a fortune cookie paper fortune in the sink. The words “all things have an end” were visible on the paper fortune in the sink.

He then conducted a check of the area around the restroom building, and did not observe any other suspected blood on the ground. He observed the same type of suspected blood spatter on the outer doors of the portable toilets immediately south of the restroom building. He requested a Pacific County Sheriff’s Office K9 team to conduct a possible track for a victim and/or suspect, but a K9 was not available. He called Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department Chief Kyle Jewell, and requested they respond to assist with a search of the area, including using FLIR thermal imaging. LBVFD responded, and checked the area visually and with FLIR. Nothing was found.

The officer photographed the restroom and the portable toilets. A check of the garbage can contents was conducted, with negative findings. A sample of the suspected blood was obtained and secured as evidence. The LBVFD completed a wash-down of the portable toilets and the restroom. Chief Jewell also advised that he would notify the employee responsible for cleaning the restrooms of the possible bio-hazard. The log entry will serve as a case report unless additional evidence of a crime or an actual victim is identified.
