Timeline Details How Domestic Dispute Became Forest Grove Quintuple Homicide

Investigators released a detailed timeline of the Aug. 21, 2026, mass killing near Forest Grove, identifying 36-year-old Benjamin Parker as the suspect who died by suicide after fleeing to Enumclaw, Wash. Five victims—Mary Kimsey (85), Rowan Kimsey (60), Stella Kimsey (26), Linsey Haraldsen (26) and Alvin Chu (27)—were killed in a sequence linked to a domestic dispute; Parker reportedly killed Stella first, then Rowan, Linsey, Mary and Alvin, and covered the bodies with tarps while setting fires at the scene. Cell data shows him leaving the property early Saturday; he later confessed to his mother before dying by a self-inflicted gunshot. Authorities also coordinated to rehome surviving livestock.

Michigan family massacre: father kills wife and six children, torches home before suicide

Authorities say Kristopher Karolkiewicz shot his wife Amanda and their six children (ages 5–15) in Grand Haven Township, Michigan, then started a fire in multiple parts of the home and died by suicide; autopsies ruled the deaths homicides and investigators describe it as a murder–suicide in a case classified as a family annihilation. The blaze preceded responders’ discovery of the bodies, and the incident is part of 2026’s rising count of mass killings in the U.S., fueling debate over gun violence and prevention. No outside suspect was sought and the investigation continues. The dogs and at least one cat also died in the fire; Karolkiewicz had worked for the American Heart Association until July 2023.
