In January of 1989 the director of Oregon’s Department of Corrections, Michael Francke, was brutally stabbed to
death outside his office in Salem. The murder was quickly ruled a “car burglary gone wrong” and pinned on a
low-level drug dealer named Frank Gable, a man who Francke's own brother, Kevin, along with storied Oregon
reporter Phil Stanford, believe has been wrongfully imprisoned for nearly 30 years. They believe Francke had
uncovered a trail of corruption in the prison system— one that led to the top of Oregon’s political establishment.
Murder In Oregon follows the two men on a decades-long journey, bordering on obsession, into Oregon’s drug
and crime-infested underworld to answer one question: Who really killed Michael Francke?
