An Oregon man has been charged in the murders of three women who were
found dead under "suspicious circumstances" last year, officials announced
Friday.

Authorities have identified one suspect in the deaths of the three women �
Charity Lynn Perry, 24, Bridget Leanne Webster, 31, and Joanna Speaks, 32
� the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said Friday.

Jesse Lee Calhoun, 39, has been charged with three counts of second-degree
murder and three counts of second-degree abuse of a corpse in connection
with the women's deaths, the district attorney's office said, after a
grand jury returned the six-count indictment on Thursday.

At a press briefing Friday, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike
Schmidt called the case "complex," and said it required a "significant
investigation" involving multiple law enforcement agencies.

"There's still more work to be done, investigations are ongoing," Schmidt
said.

Calhoun has been in custody at Snake River Correctional Institution since
July 2023 for unrelated charges and was scheduled to be released next
month, online Oregon Department of Corrections records show. He is
expected to be transferred to the custody of Multnomah County authorities
for arraignment, prosecutors said. It is unclear if Calhoun has an
attorney who can speak on his behalf.

Multnomah County authorities, citing the ongoing investigation, released
few details about the case, including what alleged evidence led them to
the suspect and how the women died.

Speaks' body was found at an abandoned property in Ridgefield, Washington,
on April 8, 2023, authorities said. Police in Portland, Oregon, said in
November 2023 that the homicide was believed to have happened in Portland.

The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said in July 2023 that
they were investigating whether the deaths of four women � including Perry
and Webster � who were found dead throughout Oregon were related. The
announcement came weeks after Portland police spoke out against online
speculation regarding a possible serial killer in the Pacific Northwest.

Perry's body was found in a culvert near Ainsworth State Park in east
Multnomah County on April 24, 2023, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office
said. The Polk County Sheriff's Office in Oregon said Webster's body was
found six days later, on April 30, 2023.

Perry's mother, Diana Allen, told reporters Friday that it's been "very,
very frustrating" for the families of the victims not to have answers amid
the ongoing investigation, but that she has had respect for the district
attorney office's process.

"Even though they wouldn't give me the answers, I knew they had answers,"
she said.

The deaths of two other women � Kristin Smith and Ashley Real, both 22 �
initially believed to have been linked, remain under investigation, the
Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said Friday.

The body of Smith, who was reported missing in December 2022, was found on
Feb. 19, 2023, in a wooded area in Portland, police said. Real's body was
found in a wooded area in Clackamas County in Oregon in May 2023, a month
after she was reported missing to Portland police, authorities said.

"We keep waiting, we keep praying and stay hopeful," Melissa Smith,
Kristin Smith's mother, said during Friday's press briefing. "We stay
hopeful that we soon can get justice for them as well."

Well apparently it is four
women ( Gilgo Beach ), and is ( Portland Oregon )

JLC literally was a prison-inmate. He and other inmates help put out a
wild-fire ( drafted ). Afterwards the
governor literally less his sentencing. Afterwards the murders started
a couple of months later. I mean
honestly guy might be helping ( drafted ) putting out fires but has

Assault
Strangulation
Kidnapping
Assaulting a public-officer ( fighting the law physically ).

Kidnapping + Strangulation + Assault is literally a recipe for
disaster. To top of it they literally fought an officer.
This persons did not know when to stop then or now.

This guy is a violent-offender. Which means he literally needs to be
under-control. There is no hope for this guy at all.
If he just play along he would be scott free right now. I know the
"voices" might talk to us but we need to be stronger
then those voices. The war for souls is a fragile one. We have to rise
above $#@#$@ so we can truly be clean.

Put this guy on a farm somewhere, or assembly-line. He deserve it. Yes
proven to be an efficient worker but wow
just wow.
