Theis is obviously still on the run as of this update (7/15/2018) since it would make huge news if he was ever arrested or found dead. Just because it's site policy to mention when there's an official source to confirm/keep track of a fugitive status, wanted to reflect that as of July 15th, 2018, Multnomah County case status search shows Theis as still having a warrant. Although they spell his name as Th-ie-s as opposed to Th-ei-s. It is weird because so many official sources seem to go back and forth on the correct spelling of his last name. mcda.us/index.php/case-information/case-status/?caseId=&last_name=Thies&court_nbr= |

Wikipedia has a page on the crime now. While Wikipedia does have its faults, it notes that in order to obtain the UFAP warrant, the detectives stated in the affidavit that he fled to Idaho. This is the first I have heard of this, and I’m wondering how they obtained information that he fled to Idaho.

I still suspect he is dead though based on the lack of publicity and the fact that even an older age he's the type of guy who I would feel wound stand out especially physical characteristics-wise. |

I am leaning towards him being deceased, too. Law enforcement seems to be leaning in that direction, too, for two reasons: 1) I know they have compared a John Doe found in 1996 to Theis (no match); 2) Theis has been uploaded to a National Database for unidentified persons. |

I was going to mention: the fact that Theis is not on the FBI website tells me the FBI believes he may be deceased as well. Further, he likely would have made a great candidate for the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list for several reasons:
1) He meets the two criteria (arguably) for inclusion on the list;
2) He is arguably very dangerous because he escalated from petty theft at his old job at Leather’s to mass murder and armed robbery and an escalation in violence that sharp is why Jason Derek Brown was added to the list;
3) The FBI has added people to the Ten Most Wanted list for armed robberies that resulted in murders before when there was a lack of leads (Wardell David Ford is an example: there was a nearly six-year gap from his armed robbery and murder he committed to when he was added to the list).
With number three, that arguably means one of two things: 1) They do not have a lack of leads on Theis; or 2) they have received information that he is deceased and are working to verify that.

Also not to sound like a boomer when I'm a technical millenial- but Theis was only 21 years old when he disappeared- I know there's some fugitives like Alejandro Castillo that defy logic and somehow are still on the run but for the most part those who go on the run when young haven't developed the street smarts needed. Granted Theis wasn't a teenager but I still find a guy that young would have a hard time adjusting to life on the run and staying out of the limelight. An alleged young punk like him would get into trouble or get noticed eventually.

Although we seemed to know this already, I can verify there are currently no PACER warrants for Theis for UFAP (unlawful flight to avoid prosecution) when I searched.

Under that name, there actually was a UFAP but get this- it was dismissed on August 25th, 2021! Although without prejudice thankfully. Now I look like a moron, but I'm pretty sure we all assumed law enforcement assumed he was dead and therefore there wouldn't be a UFAP warrant. Now it turns out there was one that was dismissed literally a month and a half ago. |

I would think a prosecution could still be successful 27 years later. |

I viewed the document and it simply said dismissed without prejudice without explanation.

The fact that he was entered into the National Database for Unidentified persons leads me to believe they were leaning that way. |

Question: have there been any confirmed sightings or very credible sightings of Theis since the crimes occurred in 1994? We do know that some information suggests that he did flee into Idaho after the murders, but beyond that, we haven’t heard of any good leads in this case.

I can swear I remember hearing about Mexico but I think those were just logical theories as opposed to confirmed sightings. |

I can swear I remember hearing about Mexico but I think those were just logical theories as opposed to confirmed sightings. I have heard Mexico pop up, too. Most of what I have seen about Mexico in relation to this case is theory, like you state. I would love to find out how they suspected he fled to Idaho first. |
