Steve Engman is a filmmaker. He joined me on Tuesday’s radio show to talk about the Oregon Ducks football documentary he has spent the last couple of years working on.

It has taken an unfortunate twist.

He now needs help solving a crime.

Listen to the podcast of the interview with Engman here.

Engman and his crew conducted video interviews with former Oregon football players and personalities during the spring football game on April 20. That evening, Engman and his brother drove the car containing their equipment, and the hard drives containing the footage, to Portland.

It was stolen in a vehicle break-in.

“At this point, we just want the video footage back,” Engman said.

What we know:

-- Engman parked near the corner of SE 9th and Alder at about 9:27 p.m.

-- Two male suspects, who had entered the neighborhood at 9:25 p.m., canvassed the neighborhood, peering into vehicles. One was on foot, the other drove a brown Chevy Tahoe, and parked in the neighborhood.

-- They were in the area for approximately 30 minutes, and broke into multiple vehicles by breaking windows. Many of those cars were parked there because a prom was being held in the area.

-- The suspects took video equipment belonging to Engman, and two hard drives containing the footage they filmed that day in Eugene. The hard drives were stored in a black Jansport backpack on two silver G-Tech hard drives as well as on several media cards. They were removed from the vehicle.

-- Several witnesses appeared to see the men in the act of the crime. It was captured on video surveillance. Portland Police is investigating.

-- At one point, a man and woman driving a white BMW appear to be in the area, trying to park their vehicle. They appear to get a good look at the suspects.

-- At 10:04 p.m. a man in the area confronts the suspects, who then flee the area.
