Five people & ‘several’ pets found dead in ‘quintuple homicide’ after fire crews first called to Oregon home over blaze
FIVE people and several pets have been found dead in a horror scene at a secluded rural property.
Firefighters made the grim discovery outside Forest Grove, Oregon, after initially being called to reports of a vehicle fire.


Crews arrived at the heavily-vegetated property on Northwest Otis Lane shortly after 5am on Saturday before spotting what appeared to be a body.
“We do have a deceased victim here. We are going to need law enforcement,” one firefighter was heard saying in dispatch audio obtained by ABC affiliate KATU.
Moments later, the scale of the unfolding horror became clearer.
“We need a police unit, or a sheriff’s office unit code 3 at the scene. Just in case, we have two victims here,” another transmission said.
A third firefighter added: “This is some suspicious circumstances certainly. So we’re going to take our hoses and get out of here, and let the sheriff’s office clear this.”
Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputies rushed to the property and ultimately discovered five people dead, along with multiple domesticated animals.
Cops are investigating the deaths as a quintuple homicide and have said all five victims were murdered.
The victims have not yet been publicly identified, and authorities have not revealed their ages or genders, how they died or where on the sprawling property their bodies were discovered.
