Editors note: This article references a murder, and contains language and information that may not be appropriate for some readers, especially children.

The brutality of the attack that killed Terry Lea Deane was made apparent Thursday, as the person who performed the autopsy on her described the numerous injuries she suffered, while photos from that examination were shown to jurors.

Dr. Michele Stauffenberg, a former medical examiner for the state, said she performed the autopsy on Deane on Aug. 14, 2023. Stauffenberg retired in December 2023.

She testified in the murder trial of Dwayne Michael Lauka, 48, who is accused of killing Deane, 78, in her Oakland home in August 2023. He has pleaded not guilty.

Under questioning from Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg, Stauffenberg went over her credentials, saying she had performed nearly 5,400 autopsies and supervised about 1,250 more.

She then went through the process of how an autopsy is performed — remove the individuals clothing, examine the outer surface of the body, including the skin, then remove the internal organs and looking for injuries or abnormalities that would indicate the manner of death.

Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service signed a new shared stewardship agreement, designed to expand collaborative forest and rangeland restoration in the Umpqua and Rogue River-Siskiyou national forests.

A press release from the forest service said the agreement was signed Feb. 12 in Washington D.C. It builds on a previous collaboration between the two organizations, strengthening the government-to-government relationship and expanding work to support healthier forests and safer communities.

"The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians bring deeply rooted Indigenous land management experience and traditions that focus on caring for the land," Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz said. "In partnership with the tribe, more than 37 miles of fuel breaks were created to protect tribal lands, private property and National Forest System lands. I look forward to our expanded partnership and our joint efforts to reduce wildfire risk on a landscape scale and create resilient forests that benefit all."

Since 1937, over 2 million acres of Oregon's timberland has remained under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) as O&C timberlands. Now, plans dictating how those lands are managed may be going through major changes.

On Wednesday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), an agency within the DOI, published a notice of intent to start revising Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for O&C timberlands. These revised RMPs would replace existing ones and include an environmental analysis.

Judge Matthew Galli expected a brief status check in Douglas County Circuit Court on Wednesday. Because of recent court filings in the case of Todd Vaughn vs. Douglas County Clerk Dan Loomis, that's not exactly what happened. 

Galli, from Josephine Circuit Court in Grants Pass, is hearing the case because of the recusals of all Douglas County judges. Vaughn is contesting his 2025 election loss as an incumbent director on the board of the Umpqua Public Transportation District (UPTD). 

Since the last hearing on the case, a proposed order on Loomis' motions to dismiss or strike Vaughn's allegations of fraud or error was filed by John DiLorenzo, the attorney representing Loomis. DiLorenzo authored the order based on his interpretation of Galli's rulings, but Vaughn's attorney then filed an objection to DiLorenzo's interpretation. 

Court records also confirm that Vaughn's attorney, Stephen Joncus, filed a fourth amended petition — the fifth overall — listing those allegations of fraud or error. 

Those filings, however, were not the only things slowing the case down and requiring more hearings, and Galli has yet to read them. According to DiLorenzo, Joncus has since filed a new batch of discovery requests, which DiLorenzo referred to as, "burdensome."

COQUILLE — The South Umpqua boys basketball team concluded the regular season with a convincing 65-32 victory over Coquille in a Far West League game on Thursday night.

Kalyn Young and Michael Fischer both had 12 points and 12 nine rebounds for S.U. against the Red Devils. Dom Stevenson contributed seven points, seven boards and six assists, and Jayden Kaae chipped in 10 rebounds and five blocked shots. Korbin Lussier dished out seven assists.

Terry Lea Deane, or “Grandma Terry” to her family, doted on her great-grandkids, was a jokester with a contagious laugh, and didn’t go anywhere without her lapdog Sadie.

But don’t for a minute think she was a softie. To the contrary.

In her younger years, Deane lived a venturesome life that included hanging out with bikers — she once made the cover of Chopper Magazine — and bartending at a rough biker bar. She mellowed as she aged, but even in her 70s Deane was as comfortable cutting grass on her rider mower or removing a tree stump as she was sitting behind her sewing machine.

“She was the most badass woman I’ve ever known,” said Deane’s granddaughter, Taylor Davis, who Deane helped raise. “She was so tough, yet had the biggest heart, told the best stories and only wanted the best for those she loved.”

Deane, 78, was attacked and killed in her remote Oakland home in August 2023. Dwayne Michael Lauka, 48, is charged with killing her. He has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder. His trial began this week.

While the trial will focus on how she died, Deane’s family and friends say they still miss her dearly and prefer to remember how she lived.

OAKLAND — A former Oakland High School student who sued the school district and a shop teacher at the school, claiming she was injured during a metal shop class, will receive $85,000 under the terms of a settlement agreement reached last week.

Mya Fauver filed the complaint Jan. 13, 2025, in Douglas County Circuit Court. Fauver sought $271,000 in damages. The complaint named the Oakland School District and metal shop instructor Kirk Fairchild as defendants.

Jeff Clark, superintendent for Oakland School District, declined to comment on the settlement agreement.

Fairchild moved out of the area and no longer works for the district.

Umpqua Actors Community Theatre (UACT) is ready to throw a night for father figures and their daughters to dance through a Winter Wonderland.

Friday will be the first time UACT is hosting the Father Daughter Dance after the previous organizers decided last year to step away after organizing the dance after decades.

UACT Executive Director Melody Schwegel said the organization saw it as an opportunity to continue the tradition that has invited certain members of Douglas County families to dance and socialize together for a long time.

"UACT is no stranger to hosting large events, as we organize multiple large-scale events throughout the year," Schwegel said.

The 2026 Douglas County Father Daughter Dance will be held 6-10 p.m. Friday in the exhibit building at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

The Roseburg School District released an update Wednesday night to Roseburg School District families regarding the criminal investigation of two instructional assistants who were arrested last week for alleged abuse of students. 

The News-Review obtained a copy of a letter posted to the parents of students. Within that letter, the school district confirms that on Wednesday, Feb. 18, a third staff member was arrested in connection to the ongoing investigation. 

Last week, two instructional assistants were arrested for fourth-degree assault after two students of the Developmental Learning Center were injured during a physical education class. Brian Marsters, 60, and Erich Hoque, 23, were each arraigned in Douglas County Circuit Court last Friday and were conditionally released. 

Now, it appears their supervisor, Nathan Williams, has also been charged and arrested. 

The letter from the school district also confirmed that a third employee had already been on administrative leave prior to that third arrest. The school district confirmed for The News-Review that the letter was correct, by sending an original copy.

Court documents in the first two criminal cases describe Williams as the teacher of the Developmental Learning Center, wherein the injuries occurred. Williams was also described in those documents has having authored the incident reports regarding the injuries.

As Cub Scout Arthur Rossbach watched his unit and others be recognized by Douglas County officials for their service, he only had one thing to say about the experience.

"It's pretty cool," Arthur said.

On Wednesday, Arthur and several other members of Douglas County Scouting America units met for a Douglas County Board of Commissioners meeting, where they heard the board issue a proclamation for Scouting America Month.

Celebrated each February, Scouting America Month recognizes the founding of Scouting America, then known as The Boy Scouts of America, on Feb. 8, 1910.

According to Scouting America's Laurel Highlands Council, the organization was established by American newspaper publisher William D. Boyce after getting lost during a trip to London. After being put back on track by a nearby British Scout, he was inspired to create a branch for American youth.

Two women remain in the Douglas County Jail as of Wednesday, for separate incidents that occurred west of Roseburg over the weekend. Both incidents were investigated by the Oregon State Police. 

Troopers responded just after 8 p.m. Friday to a reported crash near the tunnel on Highway 38 between Drain and Elkton, according to court records. A woman reportedly walked away from the scene, back towards the freeway, so troopers came upon her before they found the crash. 

Two troopers eventually detained the woman and tentatively identified her as Ashley Jean Weissenburger, 37, with addresses in Eugene and Florence, according to court documents. Next, they drove Weissenburger back to the collision scene. 

A man was reportedly at the accident scene, and had been in the vehicle when the collision occurred. The troopers' investigation of the crash reportedly indicated that Weissenburger had been the driver, and that a jacket left at the scene was likely hers. 

The evidence reportedly consisted of the driver's seat and jacket matching Weissenburger's relative size, and the jacket allegedly contained a bag of suspected methamphetamine. 

Weissenburger was initially arrested for reckless driving, leaving the scene of the crash and possession of methamphetamine, according to court records. She was lodged in the Douglas County Jail on those charges while the state police sought a warrant to have Weissenburger examined for evidence of driving intoxicated.

When prospective jurors in the murder trial of Dwayne Michael Lauka were asked last week whether they could handle graphic photos of the crime scene, several said no, and they were dismissed from the jury pool. The 12 individuals and three alternates eventually selected to sit on the jury all declared that they could view such photos.
Detective Travis Whetzel testifies Wednesday in the murder trial of Dwayne Michael Lauka.

Those declarations were tested Wednesday, during day two of the trial, when prosecutors showed a number of grisly photos of Terry Lea Deane.

Authorities say Deane, 78, was strangled, slashed in the neck with a sword, stabbed with a knife and struck with a heavy metal sewing machine before her body was found by a family member on Aug. 12, 2023. Lauka, 48, has been charged with her murder. He has pleaded not guilty.

In court Wednesday, Travis Whetzel, the lead detective on the case for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, walked the jury through what was depicted in the crime scene video and photos.

Editors note: This article references a murder, and contains language and information that may not be appropriate for some readers, especially children.

Often choking back tears, Terry Lea Deane’s son, granddaughter and grandson-in-law testified in court Tuesday about the events surrounding the discovery of Deane’s battered body in her Oakland home in August 2023.

The emotional testimony of Erinn Holmes, Taylor Davis and Ken Davis led off the first day of the trial of Dwayne Michael Lauka, 48, who is accused of murdering Deane, 78. He has pleaded not guilty.

Authorities say Deane was strangled, cut with a sword, stabbed with a knife and bludgeoned with a heavy metal sewing machine before her body was found by Ken Davis on Aug. 12, 2023....

....During her opening statement, Eichmann said that Lauka brutally beat, bludgeoned and strangled Deane, even though she was a complete stranger.

“She had never met him, never wronged him, never posed any kind of threat to him,” Eichmann said. “The defendant chose violence, he chose to take a life.”

Eichmann also said forensic experts found Lauka’s DNA on one of the weapons that killed Deane and his palm print on the bottom of the sewing machine,

“This science does not lie,” she said. ”It does not forget, it does not confuse one person with another.”

During his opening statement, Cameron Taylor questioned the accuracy of such evidence, and said that cell phone data examined by law enforcement showed Lauka’s phone was nowhere near Deane’s Oakland home around the time of her murder. He also pointed out how none of Deane’s money or jewelry was taken from her home.

“Dwayne Lauka did not do this crime and he is not guilty in the murder of Terry Lea Deane,” Taylor told the jury

Authorities said Lauka entered Deane’s home without a struggle, then attacked and killed her. Lauka was arrested Sept. 8, 2023, in Tualatin.

The 12-person jury consists of seven women and three men; there are also three alternates.

The trial will run Tuesdays through Fridays, and is expected to take about three weeks.

Both employees of the Roseburg School District arrested last week were conditionally released Friday from the Douglas County Jail, after being arraigned in Douglas County Circuit Court by Presiding Judge Kathleen Johnson. 

Instructional Assistants Brian Joseph Marsters, 60, and Erich Michael Hoque, 23, both of Roseburg, were arrested at their respective homes Thursday afternoon based on injuries sustained by students at John C. Fremont Middle School. They spent Thursday night in jail and were arraigned Friday afternoon. 

"I'm going to conditionally release Mr. Hoque but with some very serious conditions for that release," said Johnson. "Mr. Hoque, you are not to be on any school grounds, anywhere, or linger in the area of any school grounds."

"You are not to be alone with any minor, or person with special needs without another adult there supervising," she said. "You are not to have any contact with your co-defendant, Mr. Marsters, nor are you to have contact with the alleged victim in this case." 

"I'm also going to release Mr. Marsters with the same conditions that I imposed on Mr. Hoque. Mr. Marsters, do you acknowledge that you heard his conditions and you agree to comply with them?" Johnson said. 

Both defendants appeared by video from the jail, and agreed to the conditions.
