Convicted Portland murderer Larry Hurwitz burst back into the news on June 27, 2019.
More than 17 years after he confessed to killing Tim Moreau, Hurwitz was arrested during a traffic stop with four pounds of cocaine and more than $300,000 in cash in Huntington Beach, California. Hurwitz was still on parole for the 1990 murder and had left Oregon without permission.
