The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has announced the indictment of Jesse Lee Calhoun, an Oregon man, for the murder of Kristin Smith and three other homicides. The charges against Calhoun, who is alleged to have committed the crimes over a period of several years, were officially filed on Tuesday. His trial is slated for 2027, reflecting the complexity and gravity of the case.
The timing of the indictment has raised alarm among residents and law enforcement officials in the region. With the fourth murder attributed to Calhun, the case has intensified fears of a serial killer operating in the area. Authorities have emphasized the need for increased vigilance and enhanced investigative efforts to prevent further crimes and ensure public safety.
Calhoun, who has not yet been formally charged with the murders, is currently under investigation by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. The case has sparked a renewed interest in cold cases and has prompted authorities to review other unsolved homicides in the region in search of possible connections.
Meanwhile, the community is calling for transparency and accountability from the authorities. Residents are expressing concerns over the delayed investigation and the possibility of the killer remaining at large. Despite the growing concerns, authorities have assured the public that they are actively working to solve the case and bring the perpetrator to justice.
