Several Oregon law enforcement agencies announced Monday that they’ve identified a person of interest connecting the cases of four women found dead in Northwest Oregon between February and May of this year.
According to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, the person of interest is tied to the cases of 22-year-old Kristin Smith and 24-year-old Charity Lynn Perry in Multnomah County, 31-year-old Bridget Leann Webster in Polk County and 22-year-old Ashley Real in Clackamas County.
Investigators have not released the name of the person of interest, as the joint investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed.
But on Monday morning that police suspect 38-year-old Jesse Lee Calhoun of Portland in connection with the four deaths.
Calhoun was among the inmates by former Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. The commutation took 12 months off of his sentence and he was released in July 2021. All four of the deaths took place several months after his original release date of July 2022.
Current Gov. Tina Kotek’s office confirmed to OPB that Calhoun’s commutation was revoked earlier this month.
“The governor’s office received a request to revoke Jesse Lee Calhoun’s commutation status from the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office on July 3, 2023 and fulfilled the request the same day,” said spokesperson Elisabeth Shepard. “We do not have further comment as this is a pending investigation.”
Calhoun is currently in custody at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, Oregon. Police said they don’t believe there’s any further danger to the public.
The cause and manner of the women’s deaths have not yet been released.
