Charity Perry’s mom took me into the tunnels where her daughter was found outside Portland, Oregon. “They worked really hard to hide her,” she told me. Charity is one of five women possibly connected to a serial killer.

Even 14 months later, Kristin Smith's mom says she hasn't been told the condition her daughter's body was in when she was found. She showed me the Portland, Oregon property -- old abandoned houses where serial killer person of interest Jesse Calhoun may have frequented.

Diana Allen, the mother of Perry, told Entin she thinks her daughter was intentionally “placed” near the state park, where her body was discovered.
“I don’t think she died here. I think she was placed,” Allen said. “She wasn’t a person who drove. I was given enough detail to know there was no way she walked here. And she didn’t have shoes. So besides it being cold, they would have been able to tell that she walked here,” Allen said.
“I know that (the killer) worked really hard to hide her,” Allen added.
Smith’s mom, Melissa, told Entin she had “scoured the whole property” where her daughter’s body was found. Additionally, some witnesses reportedly saw Calhoun in the same area.

I have people I love locally in the life, and most of these ladies were FB friends with them, so I know they all ran in the same circles, at least peripherally. They may not all be tied to one person, but they all deserve justice.

1/3 I interviewed the girlfriend of the person of interest in the Portland, Oregon serial killings. Krista Sinor told me Jesse Calhoun would write “*advertiser censored*” and “*advertiser censored*” on her body during sex and that they had “rules” for the bedroom and he would throw her on the bed.
2/3 Krista says Calhoun knew at least two of the victims. While she says she is suspicious and believes he may have been involved in the deaths, she also says she has a hard time seeing him in that way. She says she is conflicted.
3/3 While I was in her apartment, I noticed a pile of men’s clothing. She told me the clothing belongs to Jesse. She is keeping his stuff in case he gets out of jail. She says “the whole thing has been confusing.”

Ashley Real, 22, and Kristin Smith
In August 2023, the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office said Calhoun could be linked to the deaths of potentially four women. While speculated, it wasn’t until Friday that Speaks’ death was officially linked to Calhoun.
The two women Calhoun had been reportedly linked to by detectives but not charged for is Kristin Smith and 22-year-old Ashley Real.
"For the other families, does not mean that we aren't still standing beside them," said Charity Perry's mother Diana Allen. "We're still together the whole way. Always."
Smith’s mother, Melissa, said her daughter vanished in December 2022. Smith turned up dead in mid-February 2023, her body discovered in Southeast Portland’s Pleasant Valley neighborhood.
About two months later, Real was discovered in rural Clackamas County. She had been reported missing since early April 2023. There was a sixth unidentified woman, but police later said appeared to have no connection with other five cases.
Calhoun has only been charged in connection with the deaths of Perry, Webster and Speaks, but officials said on Friday that investigators are still looking into the deaths of Smith and Real.
"Since it's still an active investigation for my daughter Kristin Smith and Ashley Real," Melissa Smith at Friday's press conference. "We just keep going. We keep waiting, we keep praying and stay hopeful
Who are the 3 women Jesse Calhoun has been charged with killing?
The women's bodies were all found in separate wooded or secluded areas around Portland in April of 2023.

The indictment claims Calhoun killed Perry on March 8, 2023. Her body was found nearly 7 weeks later, on April 24, at East Historic Columbia River Highway and Northeast Tumalt Road, near Ainsworth State Park.
Calhoun is accused of killing Speaks ten days after Perry, on March 18, 2023. Her body was found three weeks later on April 8, at an abandoned property on South 5th Street in Ridgefield.
Speaks' death is the only one of the three so far in which the manner of death was revealed.
The indictment claims Calhoun killed third victim Webster on April 26, 2023. Her body was found four days later, on April 30, at Harmony Road near Mill Creek in Polk County.
In a news conference earlier this month, Multnomah County prosecutors said they are continuing to investigate the deaths of two other women who may also be linked to Calhoun, Kristin Smith and Ashley Real.
Prosecutors say they expect Calhoun to be transported to Multnomah County for an arraignment on the charges. A date has not been on set.
Calhoun is currently being held at the Snake River Correctional Institution in eastern Oregon, where he is serving time for a parole violation.

I know exactly where that is. It's not even three blocks from my house. Oh god. It's where my ex who is an addict on the streets stays sometimes and gets services. This proves to me without a doubt that Jesse had contacts in both Clark County and in Oregon.
I currently have a RV outside my condo with addicts causing issues. People who don't live here have no concept of how bad the meth and fetty addictions are. I can see people using from my bedroom window. I can see them dump their sewage into burnt bridge creek. They have little children in the RV.
I feel so deeply for some of these cases. These ladies, Alana Carroll, and many others who have been hurt not only by a predator, but by how permissive our laws are regarding addiction and crime.
Many days, my mind is consumed with this subject. How many people are hurt by this lifestyle, the kids who die, end up in foster care...or even worse the ones who end up living in trap houses their entire lives because it is not against the law anymore.
We have zero safety nets here. None. Kids, young adults, adults, hell I saw a 70 year old man in a wheelchair in the parking lot of vancouver mall light up his tin foil in view of hundreds of kids go kart racing.
it is not only common here, it is considered normal now.
I lost my goddaughter to fentanyl five years ago. Her ex is my nephew, and I wonder every day if today will be the day he doesn't make it, too. We are losing cops, lawyers, families with deep roots, to this pervasive life. I just don't know what to do anymore, it has affected my life deeply, and I have a constant fear that someone I love will be next to vanish or die to this lifestyle.
my own ex has overdosed twice, his son is now in care because the exposure has led to seizures and vision issues.
Now i'm crying. Rest in Love, Ladies.
