FOREST GROVE, Ore. (AP) — The victims of what is being investigated as a quintuple homicide at a rural home outside Portland were identified Monday as the suspect's girlfriend, her mother, her grandmother and two friends, authorities said.
The suspect was found dead in his car in Enumclaw, Washington, about 187 miles (300 kilometers) north from where the bodies were found in Forest Grove, Oregon. Police believe the suspect, 36-year-old Benjamin Charles Parker, killed himself.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office said the victims include Parker's girlfriend, 26-year-old Stella Jade Kimsey; her 60-year-old mother, Rowan Karla Kimsey; and her 85-year-old grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Kimsey.
Stella Kimsey's best friend, 26-year-old Linsey Mae Haraldsen, and Haraldsen's partner, Alvin Raymond Chu, 27, were also among the dead.
Authorities said Rowan Kimsey owned the property about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Portland and lived there with her daughter, Stella, along with Parker.
Two cats and two dogs were also found dead at the scene. Another cat was transported to a vet for treatment but was later euthanized due to the extent of its injuries.
The sheriff's office did not specify how the people and animals died.
Authorities found the five bodies on Saturday and announced the homicide investigation on Sunday. They noted the complexity of the investigation and the large crime scene.
“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,” Sheriff Caprice Massey said.

MIAMI (AP) — Anthony Seigler hit a go-ahead triple in the ninth inning, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Monday night.
Mickey Gasper had two hits and walked twice for the Red Sox, who won their fourth straight. Boston has won 19 of 20 against teams with records of .500 or better.
Miami closer Pete Fairbanks (4-5) started the ninth but left after issuing a leadoff walk to Gasper. Fairbanks stepped off the mound and touched his right arm as he talked with catcher Brian Navarreto and manager Clayton McCullough. After the game, the right-hander said he had numbness and nerve irritation in his arm.
Tyler Zuber relieved Fairbanks and allowed Seigler’s line drive toward the right field foul area that scored pinch-runner Eli White from first and snapped a 2-all tie. Nick Sogard followed with an RBI single.
Erik Miller (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth around two singles and a walk. Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his 30th save.
The Marlins were 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position.
Miami's Kyle Stowers went 1 for 4 in his return from the injured list.
Xavier Edwards’ bases-loaded RBI single in the seventh put the Marlins ahead 2-1.
The Red Sox tied it in the eighth when Wilyer Abreu scored from third on a wild pitch by reliever Josh Ekness. Abreu hit a leadoff double and advanced on a fly out before Ekness threw a curveball to the backstop.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara allowed one run and six hits over seven innings for his major league-leading 21st quality start. He walked two and struck out six.
Over his last three starts, Alcantara has given up five runs in 20 innings but has received only three runs of support.
LHP Peyton Tolle (8-6, 3.08 ERA) will start for the Red Sox on Tuesday. The Marlins had not announced a starter.
