EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- A man jailed on a murder charge in Eugene also has been named as a suspect in a Lake Oswego home invasion robbery.

Police have been gathering possible evidence this week at the home of David Ray Taylor. The 56-year-old and two Portland residents are jailed in the death of 22-year-old Celestino Gutierrez who disappeared Aug. 3.

The Register-Guard reports Taylor also was named Wednesday as one of two suspects in the home invasion robbery in April at a Lake Oswego home. The Oregonian reports Baron George Von Bothmer had inherited German artwork and treasures.

Taylor spent 27 years in prison for murdering a gas station attendant in 1977. He was paroled in 2004 and left state supervision in 2007.
