An Oregon man accused of killing five women has been indicted in connection with the death of a sixth, officials said this week. Jesse Calhoun was charged with first-degree manslaughter in the death of Elizabeth "Libby" Gibson, according to Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez. The charge indicates that Calhoun is accused of causing Gibson's death through actions that were "unlawfully and recklessly" carried out with "extreme indifference to the value of human life." Gibson, a 32-year-old Portland resident, was last seen in 2022 and reported missing the following year. Authorities believe she was killed around November 18, 2022, but her body has not been found. Calhoun, 41, is already facing charges for the deaths of five other women: Ashley Real, 22; Kristin Smith, 22; Charity Perry, 24; Bridget Webster, 31; and Joanna Speaks, 32. These deaths occurred between 2022 and 2023. Calhoun has pleaded not guilty to five counts of second-degree murder and four counts of abuse of a corpse. District Attorney Vasquez said prosecutors plan to try Calhoun for all the murders in a single trial, rather than holding separate proceedings. This approach aims to streamline the legal process and ensure consistency in the presentation of evidence. Calhoun has a history of criminal behavior, including assault on a police officer, attempting to strangle a police dog, burglary, and other charges. He was released early from prison in 2021 as part of a program that allowed inmates to fight wildfires, but Oregon’s governor reversed that decision in 2023 after Calhoun became the subject of an investigation into the deaths. Gibson’s family expressed gratitude for the indictment, calling it a "definitive step toward justice." They described Libby as kind, creative, and full of life, and said her future was "tragically taken from her way too soon." Melissa Marrero, a senior deputy district attorney, highlighted the massive scope of the investigation into Calhoun’s crimes. She noted that even small pieces of information from witnesses had been instrumental in bringing the case to this point. The ongoing efforts by law enforcement and prosecutors have been described as tireless and dedicated, with the families of the victims expressing deep appreciation for the work being done to seek justice.
