A grand jury indicted 39-year-old Jesse Lee Calhoun on murder charges for the deaths of three Oregon women whose bodies were found in 2023, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney.

Calhoun faces three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree abuse of a corpse for the deaths of Charity Lynn Perry, 24, Bridget Leanne Webster, 31, and Joanna Speaks, 32.

Their bodies were discovered in April 2023 under suspicious circumstances in Portland and neighboring Washington.

Authorities have not disclosed how the women died or how Calhoun was linked to their deaths, CNN reported.

Calhoun, arrested on an unrelated charge, will be transferred to Multnomah County for arraignment, though a date has not been set.

Last year, officials suggested the deaths of Perry and Webster might be connected to the deaths of two other Oregon women, Kristin Smith and Ashley Real.

Investigations into these cases are ongoing. At a news conference, officials and family members expressed their support for the victims’ families and their continued hope for justice.
