Jesse Calhoun, 41, has been indicted by a grand jury on a charge of first-degree manslaughter for the death of Elizabeth "Libby" Gibson, making him a suspect in six deaths.

He is also charged with second-degree murder for five other women killed between 2022 and 2023. Prosecutors plan to try all cases in a single trial.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
