Come to Portland, his sister said. In 2018, Anthony Saldana took his sister’s advice. He left Las Vegas, where he was working in a casino, and moved to a Portland suburb. By early 2021, he was living in a tent, under a tree on the edge of a highway in Portland. He wouldn’t let his sister, Kaythryn Richardson, visit him and shared only a few details with her about his life on the streets.
