I have had several people contact me saying they seen her last with Matt Rowley.
Several people have contacted him and requested he contact me. I haven't heard from him. I heard hes telling people he doesnt know her.
Her boyfriend contacted me said he's not seen her but is looking for her. She went missing shortly after or around NOV 19th. Her boyfriend was in jail at that time and released Dec 5th. He is friends with Matt and neither seem to know anything about her whereabouts.

She was always with these guys and they both have no idea where she is?
I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! Kristin's sister, aunt, and best friend have been out with me running the streets, talking to people and hanging flyers.
I thank all of you in the community who have contacted me too that have kids her age and know her and those of you that have notified me about her boyfriend and information you have.

Gresham family asks for public’s help finding 22-year-old missing for 2 months

More than two months after she went missing in Southeast Portland, 22-year-old Kristin Smith’s family is holding onto hope she’ll be found.

www.kptv.com

[…]

… Kristin, who sometimes uses the last name Reedus, was last seen around Mall 205 in Southeast Portland, but also hangs out in other areas of Portland too. …

[…]

Melissa said Kristin typically wears different wigs, so she may not look exactly like the photo on the flier.

“She does have a tattoo, stick and poke, on her right hand, an outlining of a red butterfly so that’s a distinctive way to identify her,” she said.

Multiple news agencies, including Willamette Week and later The Oregonian, reported the identity of the person of interest as Jesse Lee Calhoun.

Deaths of four Oregon women over three months are linked, authorities say, reversing earlier call​

The bodies of four women began appearing in wooded areas in northwest Oregon in February, though police initially said the cases appeared to be unconnected. But on Monday, prosecutors dropped a bombshell, saying they are linked and “at least one person of interest” has been identified.

[...]

“Investigators and prosecutors from multiple law enforcement agencies have been working collaboratively, ... and they have determined that there are links between four cases: Kristin Smith, Charity Perry, Bridget Webster, and Ashley Real,” the prosecutor’s office said.

[...]

The women’s bodies were found in Portland and rural areas starting on Feb. 19, with the latest one found on May 7. One body was found about 45 miles (72 kilometers) southwest of Portland, near a creek in Polk County.

1. The first body discovered was that of Smith, 22, found in a wooded area in a suburb southeast of Portland. Smith's disappearance was reported to police in suburban Gresham on Dec. 22, 2022.
2. Perry was 24 when she died. Her body was found on April 24 near a state park alongside the Columbia River, east of Portland.
3. Webster’s body was found on April 30 near Mill Creek in rural northwest Polk County. She was 31.
4. Real, 22, was last seen at a fast-food restaurant near Portland on March 27, police said. She was reported missing on April 4. Her body was found on May 7 in a forest southeast of Portland.

Alarming. We live in one of the areas where JLC had been staying in the past two years. My oldest (adult female) child texted me asking me to pick her up from work one day because an adult male had been loitering for hours and “staring” at her and a coworker… she became more nervous when he just disappeared without a word an hour or so before the end of her shift so she wanted picked up so she wouldn’t be walking out into a dark parking lot alone when she clocked out. It freaked her out enough that we got mace and a personal alarm for her the next day. I looked at my text history and that day was about a month and a half before Kristin went missing. I picked her up and her coworker’s family came to get her but the guy was gone by then. Only time in years of her working there that she’s felt scared and asked for a ride like that. I know the chances are pretty small that it could have been JLC but now I’m feeling really glad that my kid and her coworker took action to get rides home.
