On August 25, 2026, the victims of a quintuple homicide in Forest Grove, Oregon were identified as the suspect's girlfriend, her mother, her grandmother, and two friends. The suspect, Benjamin Charles Parker, was found dead in his car in Enumclaw, Washington, approximately 187 miles north of the crime scene. Police believe Parker took his own life.
The victims included Stella Jade Kimsey, 26, her mother Rowan Karla Kimsey, 60, and her grandmother Mary Elizabeth Kimsey, 85. Additionally, Kimsey's best friend, Linsey Mae Haraldsen, 26, and Haraldsen's partner, Alvin Raymond Chu, 27, were among the deceased. The property, located about 30 miles west of Portland, was owned by Rowan Kimsey.
She resided there with her daughter Stella, who was also killed. At the scene, the bodies of two cats and two dogs were discovered, which subsequently led to the death of a third cat that was taken to a vet for treatment but later euthanized due to its injuries. Sheriff Caprice Massey of Washington County Sheriff’s Office stated that she had never encountered a case quite as complex as this one during her 22-year career. The mode of death for the victims and the cat remains unspecified.
