A man accused of killing three women in the Portland area and dumping their bodies has been indicted on a fourth murder charge, authorities said Tuesday.

An Oregon man facing charges that he murdered three women and dumped their bodies in secluded areas in 2023 has been indicted on charges that he murdered a fourth woman, prosecutors in Oregon said this week. Those killings spread fear in the state at the time, as some worried that a serial killer was in their midst.

A Multnomah County grand jury indicted Jesse Lee Calhoun in the 2022 murder of 22-year-old Kristin Smith, the local prosecutor's office said.
