An imprisoned Oregon man was indicted Friday in connection with the deaths of three women whose bodies were found “under suspicious circumstances” last year in the Portland area, authorities announced Friday.
Jesse Calhoun, 39, was indicted by a grand jury this week on three counts of murder in the second degree and three counts of abuse of a corpse in the second degree, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said.
The charges relate to the deaths of three women — Charity Lynn Perry, 24; Bridget Leanne Webster, 31; and Joanna Speaks, 32 — who were found in and around Portland early last year.
“There’s still more work to be done. Investigations are ongoing,” Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said at a news conference Friday.
Two other women were found dead and were determined to have been killed in three months in the Portland area last year. Those cases continue to be investigated, officials said.
