After months of investigating, authorities in northwestern Oregon now suspect the deaths of four young women are most likely connected, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office announced.
The remains of the victims— identified as Kristin Smith, 22; Charity Perry, 24; Bridget Webster, 31; and Ashely Real, 22 — were all uncovered in and around Portland, Ore., between February and May, police said. The cause and manner of their deaths has yet to be determined by the state’s medical examiner, the district attorney’s office said in a news release on Monday.
While no arrests have been made, police have interviewed at least one “person of interest” linked to the deaths of all four women. The person was not identified and and authorities have declined to provide additional information about what connects the cases, citing ongoing death investigations.
