MOSES LAKE — Grant County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for the public’s help to solve the 1999 murder of a Basin City man near O’Sullivan Reservoir south of Moses Lake.
The body of Jesse Loman, 45, was found May 9, 1999, in a remote area near the Seep Lakes south of O’Sullivan Reservoir, according to a release on GCSO social media Tuesday. The case has not been solved, and no suspects were ever identified.
Loman died of gunshot wounds to the head and torso. He had traveled to the area the previous day to get a campsite ready for a family gathering.
His killers are believed to have taken his truck, which was recovered the same day in the parking lot at the Moses Lake Safeway, the release said. The truck was a green 1995 Chevrolet, the release said.
“All basic investigative tasks were completed,” the release said.
Anyone with information on the murder is asked to contact the GCSO at 509-762-1160, or by email at [email protected].
