Suspected Oregon Serial Killer Indicted in Death of 6th Woman

Prosecutors say new evidence tied Calhoun to Gibson’s death, and the case could delay a planned 2027 trial.

  • On Wednesday, September 16, 2026, a Multnomah County grand jury indicted Jesse Lee Calhoun on a first-degree manslaughter charge in connection with the 2022 death of Elizabeth "Libby" Gibson.
  • Prosecutors previously charged Calhoun with five counts of second-degree murder, alleging he killed women during a six-month span in 2022 and 2023 in the Portland area.
  • Authorities believe Calhoun killed the 32-year-old Portland woman on November 18, 2022, though her remains have not been recovered during the ongoing investigation.
  • Calhoun is scheduled for arraignment on Monday, September 21, 2026; Gibson's siblings expressed gratitude for the "definitive step towards justice" in a statement read Wednesday.
  • Prosecutors aim to consolidate the six homicide cases into a single trial, though the new indictment may delay the previously scheduled 2027 trial date as attorneys prepare.
