Sixth Woman’s Death Linked to Suspected Oregon Serial Killer

Jesse Lee Calhoun has been indicted over the death of Libby Gibson, the sixth victim he has been linked to.

The Oregon man already charged with the murders of five women, Jesse Lee Calhoun, has now been indicted for the death of a sixth woman, prosecutors announced on Wednesday. Calhoun, 41, has been indicted in Multnomah County on one count of first-degree manslaughter in the death of 32-year-old Elizabeth "Libby" Gibson. Gibson was reported missing in March 2023 and is believed to have died on or around November 18, 2022.

Her body has not been found, but prosecutors allege Calhoun unlawfully and recklessly caused her death "under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life." This indictment is the sixth case filed against Calhoun, who has pleaded not guilty to five counts of second-degree murder and four counts of second-degree abuse of a corpse relating to the deaths of five other women.
