Death
18 Dec 1982, Salem, Marion County, Oregon

Tragically, Anthony Silveira was one of the victims of California serial murderer, Randy Kraft who was convicted of murdering 16 men and boys between 1972 and 1983 and is on death row for his crimes. He was known as the “Scorecard Killer.” He was known to have killed at least another 51 young men and boys and is the most prolific serial murderer in California history. 

Silveira’s body was discovered nude on a roadside near Interstate 5 in Salem, Oregon. Silveira was sodomized with a toothbrush. The cause of death was strangulation. Diazepam was found in his system. Silveira’s fatigue jacket, bearing his name, was found in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids where Kraft was staying. Silveira had recently completed his National Guard duty and was last seen hitchhiking to a Guard drill in Medford, OR. on Dec. 3. Silveira was originally from “PORTLAND” and was enlisted in National “RESERVE”. Prosecutors believe Silveira is linked to the coded word “PORTLAND RESERVE” represented on Kraft’s Scorecard found in his trunk the night of his arrest.
