俄勒冈州森林格罗夫——当局表示，周日，在俄勒冈州波特兰郊外一处乡村地产发现5具尸体的次日，一名涉嫌五起谋杀案的嫌疑人在华盛顿州埃伦斯堡的一辆车内被发现死亡。
俄勒冈州华盛顿县警长办公室周日晚间在一份新闻稿中称，调查人员认为36岁的本杰明·查尔斯·帕克自杀身亡。官员们表示，目前没有对公众持续存在的威胁。
他们未透露调查人员是如何锁定帕克的，也未说明他与这些身份未公开的受害者之间有何关联。但据哥伦比亚广播公司波特兰附属机构KOIN电视台报道，华盛顿县警长凯普里斯·梅西称，帕克认识受害者。梅西补充说，社区不存在持续风险。
据KOIN报道，埃伦斯堡警察局表示，帕克尸体所在的车辆被发现于一家萨夫韦超市后方。
该警长办公室早些时候表示，当局周六早些时候接到报警，称波特兰市中心以西约30英里的森林格罗夫一处地产发生车辆火灾。救援人员随后发现了5具遗体和“数只家畜”。
他们未透露遇难者的年龄、性别、死因，也未说明他们之间可能存在何种关联。被发现死亡的动物种类也未明确。
在周日下午的新闻发布会上，警长办公室侦探香农·王尔德表示，他们仍在努力确认受害者身份。
“哪怕只发现一名遇难者，调查就已经充满后勤挑战，更别说五名了，”王尔德说道，她指出了此次调查的复杂性以及庞大的犯罪现场规模。
当被记者问及当局从首次发现尸体到次日下午发布消息之间的时间间隔时，王尔德表示，当局一直在努力确认受害者身份并通知其近亲，同时还在推进“一项头绪繁多、非常活跃的调查”。她表示，当局希望确保以负责任的方式发布准确信息。
警长凯普里斯·梅西呼吁任何熟悉该地产或居住在那里的民众提供可能掌握的任何信息。
“我想说，在我任职的22年里，我从未参与或目睹过如此复杂的这类调查现场，”她说道。
Suspect in murders of 5 found dead day after their bodies were discovered outside Portland, Oregon, police say

Forest Grove, Oregon — A quintuple murder suspect was found dead inside a vehicle in Enumclaw, Washington, on Sunday, a day after the bodies of five people were discovered on a rural property outside Portland, Oregon, authorities said.
Investigators believe the suspect, 36-year-old Benjamin Charles Parker, killed himself, the Washington County (Oregon) Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Sunday evening. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public.
They didn’t say how investigators were led to Parker, or what connection he had to the unnamed victims. But Washington County Sheriff Caprice Massey said Parker knew the victims, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN-TV reported. Massey added there was no ongoing risk to the community.
The car with Parker’s body inside was located behind a Safeway store, the Enumclaw Police Department said, according to KOIN.
The sheriff’s office said earlier that authorities responded early Saturday to reports of a vehicle fire at a property in Forest Grove, about 30 miles west of downtown Portland. Responders then found the remains of five people and “several domestic animals.”
They didn’t disclose the ages or genders of the people found, how they died or what possible connections they might have with one another. The types of animals found dead also weren’t specified.
At a news conference Sunday afternoon, sheriff’s Detective Shannon Wilde said they were still working to determine who the victims were.
“Any time you have one person deceased, let alone five, that’s a logistical challenge,” Wilde said, noting the complexity of the investigation and the large crime scene.
When asked by reporters about the amount of time that passed between authorities first discovering the bodies and releasing information the following afternoon, Wilde said authorities were trying to identify the victims and notify their next of kin while also working on a “very active investigation with a lot of moving pieces.” Authorities wanted to ensure they released accurate information in a responsible way, she said.
Sheriff Caprice Massey urged anyone familiar with the property or the people who live there to share any information they may have.
“I will say that in my 22 years here, I have not been a part of or witnessed a scene quite this complex involving this type of an investigation,” she said.
