The announcement that authorities are holding a person of interest in the case of four women found dead this year in Oregon has their mothers hoping they may finally get answers about what happened to their daughters
In this undated photo provided by Diana Allen is her daughter, Charity Perry, after she won an award for spiciest chili in a competition. Perry's body was found on April 24, 2023, near a state park alongside the Columbia River, east of Portland, Oregon. Prosecutors said Monday, July 17, 2023, that investigators have linked her case and the cases of three other women found dead and that a person of interest has been identified. SALEM, Ore.
The body of Bridget Leann Webster, 31, was found under a bridge in Polk County southwest of Portland on April 30. All three detectives in the Polk County Sheriff’s Office have been investigating since then, Sheriff Mark Gerton said on Wednesday. Jesse Lee Calhoun, 38, is a person of interest in the deaths of Webster; Smith, 22; Charity Lynn Perry, 24; and Ashley Real, 22, according to a law enforcement official who has knowledge of the investigation. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the case.
About a year was shaved off the sentence of Calhoun, who otherwise likely would have been released in summer 2022, months before the women went missing. Allen said she knows Perry died in April, but she has not been given an exact date and authorities were unable to tell how she died just from looking at her.
