Washington's Most Wanted and King County Sheriff looking who murdered Tod Berkebile?

This picture is a memory of a picture I have of Tod Berkebile when I was a freshman in high school at Mt Si High School in 1986.  He would always be friendly to people in school.  Washington's Most Wanted and King County Sheriff are looking for who murdered Tod Berkebile?  I attended this party that Tod had attended near Lake Alice near Fall City. Tod and a someone where arguing over something that day.  I could remember about what I was too busy concentrating on what teenage boys do when drinking at the time.  He left the party in a truck with a person he was having an argument with.  I can tell you who ever this person was suppose to drive him home.  Apparently this person would be probably in his 40's now if still alive probably graduated Mt Si High School between 1983-1986.  I never saw this person in the senior class when I attended as a freshman.  My theory on this is the person he was having an argument decided to settle this somewhere quiet and private.  Back in 1986 the place of Echo Glen Rd and SE 96th St near Lake Alice and Echo Glen juvenile prison would have been a great spot for this.  Back in 1986 since Snoqualmie Parkway did not open til 1999 and construction did not happen til 1997.  The only way to get their at the time was Exit 25 on Interstate 90 southwest of Snoqualmie and head north on Echo Glen Rd.  I believe they were going to have a discussion.  He and Tod walked on a trail heading to Lake Alice he let Tod walk ahead.  This person had another motive then shot Tod in the back then left the area.  Then approximately a week later the first time of heard of Tod's death was when a Seattle PI reporter asked while I walked home from Mt Si to my Meadowbrook home on Walnut St in Snoqualmie.  Then a day earlier an announcement came over the loud speaker through the intercom at the high school about Tod's death.  Most of the students were in mourning over it.  If anyone was at that party remembers the argument that night and can describe the person.  I believe this person may or may not be in the Snoqualmie Valley area now.  Someone in the Snoqualmie Valley who is over 40 knows who this person was needs to start talking you can call the Puget Sound Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or Detective Jake Pavlovich at (206) 205-7887 from the King County Sheriff's Office.  This is the only unsolved murder mystery in the Snoqualmie Valley history that has been unsolved to date.
