Accused serial killer Jesse Lee Calhoun indicted on fourth murder, officials give update on case
PORTLAND, Ore (KOIN) — Alleged serial killer is now accused of killing a fourth woman, officials in Multnomah County announced on Tuesday. A brief history of serial killers in Oregon A grand jury has indicted Calhoun for the November 20, 2022, murder of Kristin Smith, who was 22 when she died. During the press conference, Kristin Smith's mother, Melissa Smith, said she was 'Overwhelmed with emotion.' 'I stayed strong doing all I could trying to save my daughter,' Melissa said. 'And it was just unbearable to find out it was too late and needed help finding her. And I did everything I could to try to get answers and fight and search.' Melissa credited her friends and family for continuing to keep Kristin's memory alive as she searched for answers. She also thanked the other victims' families and detectives for their help in seeking justice in the case. Calhoun was previously accused of murdering three women, Charity Lynn Perry, Joanna Speaks and Bridget Leanne Webster, after their bodies were discovered in Oregon and Washington two years ago. In April 2023, Speaks' body was found at an abandoned barn in Ridgefield, Washington. A few weeks later, Perry's body was found near Ainsworth State Park in East Multnomah County, and just days after that, Webster's body was discovered near Mill Creek in Polk County. In May of 2024, Calhoun was indicted for the murders, as he was already in custody at the time for parole violations. Previously, Calhoun had been in prison after he was charged with three counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle, assaulting a public safety officer and first-degree burglary. In 2021, then-Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a commutation to provide clemency for certain prisoners and Calhoun met the criteria, so he was released. 'Arrival in Portland is imminent': City braces for destructive invasive emerald ash borer The clemency was later revoked by Gov. Tina Kotek in 2023. Calhoun pleaded not guilty to the murders in June 2024. Calhoun has also been named as a person of interest in the death of Ashley Real, 22, though he has not been indicted in that case. 'Every single person who never forgot about these five women, our family, our angels, they're all taken too soon,' Melissa said. Multnomah County DA Vasquez said he's determined to work with Clackamas County investigators on the ongoing Real case. 'That is an extremely important case to us, one that is currently under investigation,' Vasquez said. Diana Allen, the mother of Charity Perry — one of Calhoun's alleged victims — shared a message for others still searching for answers. 'Don't give up hope. It hurts so bad, but it's so precious. You cannot let it go,' she said. A trial is expected to occur in 2027. Until then, the DA's office said they still have a lot of work to do on the case.

Man who was living off-grid to be sentenced for murder of dogwalker
A man who murdered a grandmother on her morning dog walk in a 'vicious and brutal attack' while he was living off-grid to avoid recall to prison is to be sentenced. Roy Barclay, 56, subjected 57-year-old Anita Rose to 'numerous kicks, stamps and blows' as she walked her springer spaniel Bruce in Brantham, Suffolk, on July 24 2024. The mother of six was found by passers-by but died in hospital four days later. Barclay, who denied murder but was found guilty following an earlier trial at Ipswich Crown Court, is due to be sentenced at the same court on Wednesday. Ms Rose's eldest daughter, who gave her name as Jess, said after Barclay's conviction last month that 'criminals cannot remain at large'. 'There's too much at stake and our communities need protecting,' she said. She continued: 'We need to make sure that our communities are safe and that people are monitored, that criminals are taken back to prison when they break the terms of their probation.' Barclay had previously been convicted and jailed over a 2015 attack on a pensioner. Prosecutors said this bore similarities to the attack on Ms Rose. Barclay had been released from prison in February 2020 but had not been living at a fixed address. He had been wanted on recall at the time of his attack on Ms Rose over a breach of his licence conditions. It is understood that the Probation Service issued a recall notice for Barclay following a breach of his licence conditions. Suffolk Police said there would be a review of information-sharing processes. Judge Martyn Levett warned Barclay, after jurors returned their guilty verdict: 'The sentence is one that inevitably is going to be life in prison, and the length of it is going to be very lengthy.' Prosecutor Christopher Paxton KC earlier told the court that Barclay 'lived mostly in the countryside, wandering the fields and lanes, sleeping in various makeshift camps'. 'He lived off-grid because for two years, Roy Barclay had been unlawfully at large,' said Mr Paxton. 'He had been on the run trying to avoid the police and authorities to try and avoid being recalled back to prison.' Jurors were told that Barclay had previously pleaded guilty, over a separate incident in 2015, to grievous bodily harm with intent over an attack on an 82-year-old man in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The pensioner, Leslie Gunfield, had told Barclay that he would inform security about him going through rubbish bins at a Co-op supermarket, the court heard. Mr Gunfield was left with serious injuries to his head and required 10 titanium plates for fractures he suffered after being attacked by Barclay. He was found with a dog lead wrapped around his foot, which the prosecution said was similar to the way Ms Rose's body was found, with a dog lead 'tightly' wrapped around her leg.

Victim of Traverse City Walmart stabbing attack retains law firm for possible legal action
One of the victims injured in a stabbing attack at a Traverse City, Michigan, Walmart last month has retained the services of Morgan & Morgan, the law firm announced Tuesday. The Orlando-based personal injury law firm said its client was stabbed multiple times in the July 26 attack and underwent several surgeries before being released from the hospital. The law firm is currently in the investigative stage and did not state what legal action it is pursuing. "Morgan & Morgan has been retained by one of the Traverse City Walmart stabbing victims, and our investigation is already underway. We are working to determine how this terrifying attack could have happened and to demand accountability for any potential negligence or lapses in security that might have contributed to this incident. Our client was left severely injured, and we will pursue all avenues of justice for him and his family," the law firm said in a statement. Bradford James Gille, 42, of Afton, Michigan, is accused of using a folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade to attack five men and six women, including one store employee. Gille is charged with terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder. He was arraigned on July 28 and pleaded not guilty. Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg said Gille has a history of mental illness and a criminal record that includes assault and malicious destruction of property. Authorities are still working to determine a motive behind the attack. The store, where the attack occurred in northwest Michigan, reopened on July 30. On Tuesday, Munson Healthcare officials said eight of the 11 people injured in the attack have now been treated and released from the hospital. In addition to the eight released, one patient is in good condition, and two others have been treated and transferred, according to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, which has been providing medical care. The victims range in age from 29 to 84 years old.
