Oregon man linked to six Portland-area murders faces new manslaughter charge

An Oregon man, Jesse Lee Calhoun, already accused in the deaths of five Portland-area women, was indicted on a first-degree manslaughter charge in the death of Elizabeth Gibson (whose body has not been found), bringing the total number of victims tied to the case to six. Calhoun has previously faced murder and abuse-of-a-corpse charges, and his early release for firefighting was revoked in 2023 as authorities pursued the investigations. He is set to be arraigned on the new indictment next week as investigators continue to build the case.
