A twenty-two-year-old woman allegedly reported Jesse Calhoun to Portland police after he choked her. According to her father, she had marks on her throat. A report was filed. The case was transferred to another jurisdiction and nothing happened. She disappeared four months later and was found dead in a pond southeast of Portland.
Her name was Ashley Real, and she is one of six women Jesse Lee Calhoun is now accused of killing in the Portland metro area between November 2022 and April 2023. Calhoun, a career criminal with two decades of convictions, had been released from prison roughly a year early after Governor Kate Brown commuted his sentence for fighting wildfires. He was forty-one inmates granted early release through that program.
The bodies were found across a hundred miles of the Pacific Northwest — in wooded areas, fields, an abandoned barn in Washington, a pond in Clackamas County. Prosecutors allege the first victim, thirty-two-year-old Elizabeth Gibson, was killed in November 2022. Her body has never been recovered. Despite multiple discoveries, the Portland Police Bureau publicly stated the cases were not connected. Calhoun was arrested in June 2023 on a parole violation after jumping into the Willamette River. Grand jury indictments started in 2024 and are still coming. The sixth charge — for Gibson — landed September 16, 2026. Calhoun has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The Caleb Flynn trial turned to fingerprints and neighborhood surveillance as jurors heard from BCI latent print expert Vicki Bartholomew and next-door neighbor Kimberly Bingaman. 
Bartholomew testified that palm prints recovered at the scene belonged to Caleb Flynn. She also said latent prints from the Ford truck door and a palm print from the minivan matched Caleb. During cross-examination, however, she said there was no way to determine when those prints had been deposited. 
Bingaman testified that her three dogs tend to be very vocal when something unusual happens nearby. She also described multiple cameras around her property and said they captured nothing outdoors or around the neighboring residences. 
She told jurors she had noticed a new camera near the Flynn home as well. Under cross-examination, Bingaman said she could not determine whether the Flynn camera was operational. 
Caleb Flynn is charged with aggravated murder and other offenses in the death of Ashley Flynn and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege he staged the scene to look like a home invasion; the defense says investigators focused on the wrong person and that an intruder killed Ashley.

Patrick Clancy told 60 Minutes what he said at Boston Children's Hospital after Callan was airlifted on January 24, 2023. He believed his youngest son had a chance. He made one request — three words. Callan didn't survive. In the full interview, Patrick revealed how Lindsay convinced her McLean Hospital doctors she was ready to leave five days before the killings. He described a panic attack off-camera at Plymouth Superior Court. He explained forgiving Lindsay without her asking. And he told the story of his first date with Rachel Danis — the coffee shop moment when she asked about the kids in his phone and he answered with two words. Robin Dreeke analyzes the full interview for what it reveals about how grief, mental illness, and survival actually work when the cameras aren't watching.

Aaron Schultz and Alex Miller of BCI took jurors through the firearm evidence recovered from the scene after Ashley Flynn was killed, including the markings and striations they compared during their analysis. 
The two BCI experts testified about examining shell casings and bullets for markings, striations, and other indicators that can be compared across pieces of firearm evidence. Their analysis led them to testify that the two bullets recovered in the case came from the same gun. 
Schultz and Miller also testified that the gun used to kill Ashley had not been used in any other crime. Their testimony put the recovered bullets and shell casings into the same ballistics analysis for the jury. 
Caleb Flynn is charged with aggravated murder and other offenses in the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn. He has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege the scene was staged to look like a burglary, while the defense says Ashley was killed during a home invasion and investigators focused on Caleb too quickly.

In 2014, Raymond “R.C.” Horsch published a book called Empathy: The Memoir of an Empathetic Serial Killer. He described strangling a woman named “Krista,” driving to an industrial supplier off Packer Avenue, buying a drum of sodium hydroxide, and using forty pounds of lye to dissolve her in a basement bathtub. He said it was fiction.
R.C. died in May 2025. He was eighty-two. Never charged with a violent crime. His son Eugene—born in New Zealand while R.C. was a fugitive living under a stolen identity—inherited the house at 417 West Chew Avenue in Philadelphia’s Olney neighborhood.
On June 19, 2026, a park ranger pulled Eugene over at Independence Mall. Inside the car: two guns with obliterated serial numbers, a fake DEA badge with Eugene’s face, and a woman carrying the ID of Blair Tonzelli, missing since 2023. The search that followed uncovered a basement with a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, containers of chemicals, and more than a million digital files across fifty hard drives.
Police say the footage shows women who appear to be dead—and the man on camera is R.C. Seven women are linked to the house. Five are believed dead. No bodies have been found.
R.C. Horsch was a National Merit Scholar, a counterfeiter, a meth cook, a fugitive, and a filmmaker who recruited women from Kensington with cash and drugs. A 1985 federal psych eval diagnosed him with paranoid personality disorder and called him “consumed by anger.” His ex-wife vanished from the house in 2016. A missing woman’s photo sat on his own website for years. None of that opened the front door. A parking violation did.
Eugene is in federal custody on gun and credential charges. He has not been charged with harming anyone.
