Greed Led to Murder in Clark County | Portland News

James Rummell just got a life sentence for orchestrating his wife Lindy’s murder in March 2024, while his hitman partner Darrell Riley, who pulled the trigger and admitted to five shots—including using a pillow—got thirty years. The plot unraveled after a tip from Eugene led cops to Riley’s confession, revealing the motive: cash from a life insurance policy. Riley pleaded guilty in May 2026, pointing squarely to Rummell as the mastermind. This chilling case shows how greed can turn love into lethal betrayal.
