Erased But Not Forgotten- The Tammy Pitkin Story- Episode Six~Welcome to Oregon
Oregon is known as the Wild, Wild West because of its rugged landscapes, untamed wilderness, and a long history of frontier independence. From the early days of pioneers braving the Oregon Trail to the present-day spirit of self-reliance found in rural communities, the state’s reputation for wildness is rooted in both its geography and the people who call it home. But Oregon is also known as a place where bad things can happen—and a region notorious for how easy it can be to hide or bury secrets in its vast wilderness. The sheer size and remoteness of its forests, mountains, and rural areas have made it a setting for both mystery and misdeed. The shady forests of the Santiam Wilderness, where Tammy’s car was found, are infamous for murders that have occurred along Highway 20. Stories of violence and disappearance haunt this stretch of road, adding to the region’s dark reputation.

Erased But Not Forgotten - The Tammy Pitkin Story - Episode Five - Motives
To be fair, in this arena of speculation and accusation, starting with the spouse is just where any investigation has to begin. It's basic 101 investigating—statistically, the spouse or domestic partner is always the first person of interest. That’s not bias; it’s experience and evidence. But this does not mean we are fixated on one person or that we are ignoring other possibilities.
So this is why—and where—we'll start with Tammy's husband at the time she went missing, Reese Pitkin. His relationship with Tammy, their history, and the circumstances leading up to her disappearance are all crucial to understanding what might have happened. As we move forward, we'll take a closer look at Reese and the role he may have played in this investigation.

Erased But Not Forgotten - The Tammy Pitkin Story - Episode Four~Confirmation Bias
Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias in which people tend to seek out, interpret, and remember information in ways that confirm their existing beliefs or opinions. This means that individuals are more likely to notice and give weight to evidence that supports their existing views, while ignoring or downplaying evidence that contradicts them.
Confirmation bias in a criminal investigation occurs when investigators, consciously or unconsciously, focus on evidence that supports their initial theory or suspect, while overlooking or dismissing evidence that might contradict it. This can lead to errors in judgment, wrongful convictions, and miscarriages of justice.
