  • Alder Creek Middle School in Clackamas (Nov. 9)
  • Meridian Creek Middle School in Wilsonville (Monday, Nov. 14)
  • Willamette Primary School in West Linn (Nov. 14)

In all four Clackamas County incidents, the suspect entered the schools during school hours, then made contact at the school offices, claiming to want to enroll a child as a student. She then asked to use the restroom, entered unoccupied rooms, and stole items from the unattended wallets and purses of staff members before fleeing the premises.

Salo is also currently wanted on a felony warrant for burglary out of Multnomah County for similar thefts in Portland (see PPB Case # 22-025956).
