I haven't posted here in a few years, but this was one case that really made me sad. To his mother and sister, I'm really sorry for your loss.
I just watched this segment today. I really get choked up, watching it, reading here about his mother's pain. And that person (So, I'm glad everybody knows him) laughs at his "fight", my blood just boils. |

I found this on another message board (can't remember the name) when I "Googled" Jeremy Bright. It was from someone whose username was "Jethro":
(Jethro) "I was told by a certain coquille resident, in tears, about a confession she had heard from one of the persons of interest who said that they took Jeremy from the fairgrounds, and that his body is supposedly in a capped of well in the middle creek area somewhere." And from everything I've read, seen, or heard about this case, this is my basic idea of what I think happened: Jeremy gets off the phone with his mother. Very shortly after that, David Steinhoff, Terry Steinhoff (now deceased), Hoyt Richardson, or some group of guys that included at least one of these three, sees Jeremy and asks him if he wants to go hang out somewhere real quick. He probably mentions that he needs to go meet up with his sister, but maybe it was something like them saying, "Hey, we got this gun, you want to try it out? It'll be real quick and we'll be back soon." or "Your sister will be fine at the carnival. Don't worry, we'll be back soon." Then Jeremy goes off with these guys that I believe are some combination or include David Steinhoff, Terry Steinhoff, or Hoyt Richardson. One of them probably drives or walks off to somewhere no more than a few miles from payphone where Jeremy was last seen at. Johnny Fish either went with Jeremy and the guys or was at the place that they went. At the new place that they are at, one or more of the guys either tells Jeremy to go out and do something, then does the target practice thing that has always been a theory and accidentally shoots Jeremy once or multiple times or the Steinhoff brothers or Hoyt Richardson intentionally shot Jeremy and Johnny witnessed either the accidental shooting or the intentional shooting. They decide on some way to conceal Jeremy's body or worse (I'm sorry to bring this up but it might have happened and could be a way to figure out how Jeremy might be found), they dismemeber it and then conceal it, either in the ground somewhere, a body of water somewhere, or as "Jethro" said, a capped-off well somewhere. I think Jeremy's remains are still somewhere in southern Oregon and could be found if someone just found the right spot. This is my basic theory of what happened to Jeremy. I'm very sorry if I end up upsetting Jeremy's mother, sister, or Johnny's sister or husband, who I see have posted messages on this thread. My condolences to you. If I had to guess the truth about what happened to Jeremy and where he is, that would be my basic idea. |

This is such an intriguing and intresting case, but its one of the most infuriating I have ever seen on UM. Not just with the people who refuse to talk after all these years, but with the naive police too who waited an astonishing THREE MONTHS before doing anything. Just imagining Jeremy having to suffer for 2 agonizing weeks with bullet wounds, probably begging his offenders to take him to the hospital in every conscious moment that passes him by is too much.
I think its been so many years since the police have had another lead that they should just try searching that area around the cabin. I mean, what have they got to lose? And I find it great how both Jeremy's mother, sister, and a witness have posted on this thread. If only every other case thread could be like this. Oh how I wish... |

My belief is that Terry Steinhoff (deceased) and/or David Steinhoff (he is in fact the person that was portrayed in the segment as the guy who was seen with blood all over his shirt by Cecilia Fish) killed Jeremy (whether it was accidental or intentional, I'm not sure).
That bad feeling I have though is that his remains have never been found due to whatever they did with his body after they killed him, which might explain the supposedly excessive blood that was on David Steinhoff's shirt. Because if they had shot him, you would think that he wouldn't have had much, if any, blood on his shirt. But I agree that people should dig around that cabin area where he was rumored to be to look for his remains. |

It looks like Johnny Fish has passed away:
http://www.squidoo.com/pollyklaas/am...ldjeremybright "Johnny has joined his loved ones and his BFF Jeremy. He is finally rid of the anguish that plagued him for most of his teens and all of his adult life. Johnny did his best to help in finding Jeremy. He willingly cooperated with EVERYTHING that was asked of him. If he had the truth - it was buried so deeply and so traumatically - that even he could not reach it. It is a sad thing that evil incarnate arrived in Myrtle Point and ruined so many promising lives. Rest in Peace Johnny." |

That's too bad. Some of those comments on the site you linked are interesting. Especially this one made by Cecelia Fish...

This episode is on now. It used to scare me so bad when I was a kid. I really hope that they can solve this one day.

BTW, Jeremy Bright's birthday was on Wednesday (5/25). He would be 39 years young now.

Poor Jeremy. I really hope they can come to a resolution. It's annoying that people won't talk after almost 25 years. Does anyone know if the cabin area was found/searched? I forgot if it was mentioned in the segment.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I take it the theory of those 3 bullies shooting him in the lake and throwing his body somewhere and walking into the apartment hallway covered in blood (with a female witness approaching them) has been disregarded? or is it still the only lead?
