Oregon Man Indicted for Murders of Three Women After Early Prison Release

Jesse Lee Calhoun faces charges for the deaths of three women, with investigations into other related cases ongoing.

A Multnomah County grand jury indicted Jesse Lee Calhoun on three counts of second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
The victims, Charity Lynn Perry, Bridget Leanne Webster, and Joanna Speaks, were found dead under suspicious circumstances in 2023.
Calhoun had been released early from prison in 2021 for his work as a volunteer firefighter but was re-incarcerated in 2023.
Authorities are still investigating Calhoun's possible involvement in the deaths of two other women, Kristin Smith and Ashley Real.
The case has drawn significant public attention and scrutiny, particularly regarding the decision to grant Calhoun early release.
