Ward Francis Weaver III is serving a life sentence without possibility of parole for sexual assault, rape, attempted murder, and the murders of Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis in Oregon City, Oregon in 2001. In August 2001 Weaver was arrested for attempted rape of his son's 19-year-old girlfriend. Upon calling 911, Weaver's son told emergency dispatchers that his father admitted killing Ashley and Miranda. On the weekend of August 24–25, FBI agents found the remains of Miranda Gaddis in a microwave box in the storage shed. The next day they found the remains of Ashley Pond beneath the concrete slab in a 55 gallon drum in his backyard. Weaver's father Ward Weaver Jr is on death row in California for the murders of two motorists.
