For some reason, Oregon didn’t want to admit they have a serial killer on their hands. Now, we know why. After “months of probing and multiple investigations,” the District Attorney’s Office in Multnomah County grudgingly acknowledged that maybe four deaths are connected. Other than the fact they’re all young women. Without backing it up, they added, “based on the available information to investigators, there is not believed to be any active danger to the community at this time.” The reason for the hesitancy is that officials had previously let Jesse Lee Calhoun out of jail early.
Oregon deaths related
On July 17, authorities near Portland, Oregon admitted a couple of things regarding the deaths of four women ranging from 22 to 31 years old. On the 19th, they filled in the rest of the story. At first, they suddenly came to the conclusion that the “mysterious deaths” are connected. Even so, they didn’t “think the public is in danger.”
That instantly suggested they either have a suspect already in custody or one who’s dead. All the public had to go on was speculation, because the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office is terrified of reporters, who are usually writing nasty things about their job performance.
Progressive CNN went amusingly out of the way to avoid using the word “Portland” in their story, so as not to call attention to it. By July 19, the public learned that the progressive policies had a role in the drama. Washington Post is reporting that 38-year-old Jesse Lee Calhoun is considered a person of interest.

He is alive and he’s also in custody as predicted, only because Oregon Governor Tina Kotek “reinstated a prison sentence that was commuted by her predecessor.” He hasn’t been charged with anything new yet.
Person of interest
Calhoun isn’t officially a serial killer yet. The state of Oregon only considers him a “person of interest.” They find him fascinating in the untimely deaths of Kristin Smith, 22, Charity Lynn Perry, 24, Bridget Leann Webster, 31, and Ashley Real, 22, “according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.”
They won’t give their name because they were sworn to secrecy.
All four bodies were discovered “in wooded areas around Portland, Oregon, between February and May.” Officials aren’t saying a single word about “how the women died or why Calhoun is considered a person of interest in the investigation.”
He had a lawyer for his 2019 burglary case but Scott Leonard “said he no longer represents Calhoun and had no comment.” We do know that detectives have been interviewing people like crazy.
It turns out that Calhoun had been doing time for “stolen vehicle and burglary charges when then-Governor Kate Brown commuted his sentence.” She wasn’t just being nice. He was part of a group of 40 prisoners who were let out to battle wildfires in 2020. At the time, there was no indication any of them presented “unacceptable safety risks to the community.” It did leave the door open to get him back safely behind bars until they sort our his murder spree.
“Since his release from custody pursuant to this commutation, Mr. Calhoun has been involved in criminal activity currently under investigation by Oregon law enforcement. In light of this, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office and Multnomah County Department of Community Justice recommends Mr. Calhoun’s commutation be revoked.” The governor said “sure,” and signed the order as soon as it hit her desk.
