The mother of a victim of suspected serial killer Jesse Calhoun has said Portland officials ‘did us dirty’ after he was released from prison early – going on to allegedly murder four women.
Kristin Smith’s mom Melissa Smith said she believes then-Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s office owes the victims’ families an apology over its decision to free Calhoun due to his participation in a prison firefighting program.
‘I’m not going to say it’s their fault. But I am going to say I think they owe us moms an apology,’ she said on stage at CrimeCon 2025 on Sunday.
No one has lost their job over this.
