Real, of Portland, disappeared March 27 in Southeast Portland her remains were found May 7 in the Eagle Creek area of Clackamas County. She was last known to have lived in an apartment in Clackamas County. Little has been released about the circumstances of her death, though authorities have said it’s suspicious. Webster’s body was found April 30 on Harmony Road near Mill Creek in northwest Polk County. “My heart sank when I saw Bridget,” she said. She said she recognized Webster, once her photo was in the news, from the video of the shirtless woman on Calhoun’s phone, according to the YouTube interview. But after Calhoun’s arrest and the search of her apartment, she went online to learn more. Later, the woman said she discovered a video on Calhoun’s cellphone of him with another woman in a car who was topless and holding a needle in her hand, saying she had just “quit shooting up.”Īt first, she said she didn’t recognize the shirtless woman. When she said she confronted Calhoun, he first denied it but then admitted he had sex with Real, she said. She said on the video that she learned Real had a sexual relationship with Calhoun when Real sent her a text message, messaged her on Facebook and called her last year to inform her she was having sex with her boyfriend. Investigators left paperwork behind related to two search warrants, one from the Clackamas County sheriff’s investigation into the death of 22-year-old Ashley Real and another from the Polk County sheriff’s investigation into the death of 31-year-old Bridget Leann Ramsey Webster, the woman said. Police asked her, “Did it seem like he lived a double life?” she said on the video. Police also seized about 30 fentanyl pills from her apartment and examined footage from two security cameras in her unit, including one that is pointed out her front window, according to the video. In the video, the self-described girlfriend said she spent three days at a hotel while police searched her apartment for belongings of two of the women found dead, cut a patch from her carpet, couch and from her car, took her floor mats, her sex toys and all electronics from the unit. They cut out a piece of a couch and the carpet in the apartment, according to the neighbor. Investigators wearing special full-body suits spent up to three days searching the 43-year-old girlfriend’s ground-floor unit at the RiverView apartments off Southeast River Road in Milwaukie, the neighbor told The Oregonian/OregonLive. The statements by Calhoun’s recent girlfriend posted on YouTube are the first public characterization of a connection alleged between Calhoun and two victims. In the video, the woman said Calhoun has ties to two of the four women whose bodies have been found in rural areas since Feb. On the same day as Calhoun’s arrest, police raided the woman’s apartment, where Calhoun also lived, according to a neighbor and the woman in the YouTube video. Howard said he recorded an interview with the woman on July 14 in her Milwaukie apartment, more than a month after police arrested Calhoun in Milwaukie. Howard said he grew up in Southeast Portland and makes videos about how his neighborhood and the city are affected by fentanyl and homelessness. Howard said the woman who had been living with Calhoun most recently reached out to him because he was posting videos, photos and information about women found dead or missing in the region. The District Attorney’s Office hasn’t released details of the multi-agency investigation except to say detectives had identified a person of interest. He is being held on a parole violation and hasn’t been publicly charged in any of the deaths. The Oregonian/OregonLive could not independently verify the woman’s claims.Ĭalhoun was arrested June 6 and returned to prison after investigators linked him to the cases of four women found dead within three months and 100 miles of each other this year in and around Portland, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office and law enforcement sources. Howard doesn’t identify the woman on the video and doesn’t show her face, but he told The Oregonian/OregonLive on Tuesday that she is the girlfriend of Calhoun. Lavelle Howard, 45, who goes by “Velly Ray” on YouTube, said he did the interview and posted the video. In the video posted on YouTube, an unnamed woman said Jesse Lee Calhoun also sold fentanyl and had sex with other women during their relationship. A woman who identifies herself on a video recording as the girlfriend of a 38-year-old “person of interest” in the deaths of four Oregon women says he had ties to at least two of them.
