Description
On Sunday, September 14th, 2025, three individuals were found deceased in an RV at the Shady Point RV park, which is located just south of Roseburg at 2703 Hwy 99S. Another individual was found in medical distress, but still alive. At approximately 11:00 AM, an officer with the Roseburg Police Department and deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office attempted to contact the occupants of an RV regarding an unrelated investigation. The deputy and officer became concerned about the safety of the individuals inside based on what they could see and hear. They entered the RV and found 4 people inside. Three of the individuals were determined to be deceased. One individual was still alive, but in medical distress. Medical aid was immediately dispatched for the one survivor, and she was transported to Mercy Medical Center via ambulance. Deputies and officers on scene suspected this to be a drug overdose incident and contacted detectives with the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT). Detectives responded to the scene and found it likely the individuals had been using fentanyl and/or methamphetamine at the time of their deaths based on evidence collected from the scene. Investigators found evidence of drug use, as well as scales, packaging, records, and other paraphernalia. Detectives believe these individuals had recently returned from an unknown location north of Douglas County, possibly even out of state, where they went to purchase fentanyl and methamphetamine. Detectives recovered approximately one ounce of fentanyl, and almost two ounces of methamphetamine at the scene. There is nothing to indicate these individuals had shared these specific substances with any others upon their return to Douglas County. The following individuals were declared deceased at the scene: 46 year old Paul James Mohlsick of Roseburg; 55 year old Kimberly Noel McCabe of Roseburg; 41 year old Bryan Charles Jarvis of Roseburg. Transported to Mercy Medical Center was 55 year old Shawna Renee Walker, of Roseburg. Use of street drugs is an inherently dangerous activity, and it has become exponentially more dangerous in recent years since fentanyl has become the predominant opiate of choice among drug users. Fentanyl is extremely potent, and even experienced drug users routinely overdose. Adding to the danger is the fact the purity, or potency can vary widely, and other substances can also be mixed in to alter or enhance the effects of the drug. The type or volume of these additives, or even their very presence can be difficult or impossible to quantify. Occasionally, unusually potent batches of fentanyl can arrive in an area and filter into the user community causing widespread overdoses. There has been no indication to this point that this "batch" of substances has spread anywhere outside this one event. However, the danger is always present. This investigation is ongoing.
