Oregon Murder Suspect Found Dead in Washington State

Police say Benjamin Charles Parker, 36, killed five people found Saturday at a rural home near Forest Grove, Oregon. Parker was later found dead in his car in Enumclaw, Washington — about 260 miles away. Investigators believe he took his own life. Dead pet animals were also found at the home. Sheriff Caprice Massey called it the hardest crime scene she has handled in 22 years. Police do not think the victims were chosen at random, but have not released their names, how they died, or whether they knew Parker.
