Titi Gulley
Age: 31

Location: Portand, OR
Info: Titi was found hanging from a tree in a park. The coroner ruled her death a suicide, but her family and friends believe she was murdered.

As she is now deceased, we obviously can’t ask her which pronouns we should use. With the exception of quotes from family members, this page uses her female name and pronouns because that is how she usually presented publicly.
