Over the Forth of July weekend back in 2015 a horrendous act occurred on the Long Beach Peninsula. 36-year-old Jeff Beach was found dead, murdered. According to reports he was attacked not once, but twice that fateful night.
"This crime occurred on the Long Beach Peninsula, actually on the ocean beach, not far from Highway 103. One occurred on the beach, in front of some other people, by some unknown assailants, then a short time later, he was walking on a trail, going back to where he was staying and while he was walking on the trail, he was violently assaulted," said Sheriff Johnson.
A traumatic brain injury was the cause of his death.
Beach's family, together with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, have now come forward and offered a $10,000 reward for anyone that may have information that leads to the arrest of the individuals responsible for this heinous act.
"This is a solvable case and we know if somebody will come forward to help us we can get that last tip or two that we need to make an arrest. Unfortunately, we can`t always disclose everything we know about a case and we do have some good information but we need a few more pieces that we know some citizens, or some members the public know that can help us solve it," stated Sheriff Johnson.
According to Pacific County deputies he was attacked and killed for sticking up for a group of women who were being abused/harassed by an unknown party.
He had been out the night of July 3 with some friends near 120th Pl., not far from the Sunrise Pacific Holiday RV Park.
