It included:

  • Two computers, along with a vast amount of victim articles of identification, checkbooks and personal papers.

Dupille has been charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen motor vehicle and several drug violations.

McCullar faces charges of theft by receiving and methamphetamine possession.

Anyone who recognizes Dupille and McCullar from previous purchases on Craigslist was asked to call Detective Scott Eggleston at (503) 655-8487.
