Police have identified the five victims who were found dead at a property in rural Oregon on Saturday, Aug. 22.
According to a news release from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the bodies were identified as Mary Elizabeth Kimsey, 85; Rowan Karla Kimsey, 60; Stella Jade Kimsey, 26; Linsey Mae Haraldsen, 26; and Alvin Raymond Chu, 27.
Police said Stella lived on the property, located about 25 miles west of Portland, with her boyfriend, Benjamin Charles Parker, who is the suspect in the case.

Police had previously confirmed that Parker, 36, had been found dead in his vehicle outside a supermarket in Enumclaw, Wash., about 200 miles away, on Sunday, amid a homicide investigation. Police believe he died by suicide.
Rowan, Stella’s mother, owned the property and lived there with them, while Mary was Stella’s grandmother. Haraldsen was Stella’s best friend, and Chu was Linsey’s boyfriend, per the release.
On Sunday morning, 27-year-old Devin Allys — Stella’s former partner, who had dated her for four years — received a call from a Washington County Sheriff’s Office detective, Oregon Live reported. The detective told them there was concern over Stella.
The detective asked them who lived at the property, what vehicles were there, if Stella worked, the names of her family and how long they had lived there, the outlet reported.
Allys, who had lived on the property before breaking up with Stella about three years ago, told Oregon Live they tried to contact Stella’s mother and grandmother after the detective’s call, but were unable to reach them.

The victims were discovered after Forest Grove Fire & Rescue responded to reports of a vehicle fire at the property on Saturday morning. Firefighters alerted police after finding human remains.
Along with the bodies of five people, responders also found the bodies of two dogs and two cats. Another cat was found injured and taken to an animal hospital, but police said in the release that it was later euthanized.
Forest Grove Fire & Rescue shared a statement on Monday, Aug. 24, paying tribute to those who died. “Even though many of you did not know the vibrant lives so needlessly lost, some of you most certainly did,” the municipal fire department said. “These were our friends, and our neighbors, and they too called this beautiful place home.”
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek wrote on Facebook, “The tragedy in Forest Grove is weighing on all of us. Whatever the circumstances, let’s keep the family and friends of the victims in our hearts and prayers.”
