UMATILLA COUNTY, Ore. – A man who admitted to killing three women in the Portland metro area has died in prison, according to the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Jesse Andre D’Breeze, also known as Jeffrey Cutlip, died on Sunday, March 29. He was housed at Two River Correctional Institution in Umatilla and passed away in the infirmary while receiving hospital care.
D’Breeze, 76, was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for two counts of murder and one count of aggravated murder.
In July 2012, D’Breeze was living in Brownsville, Texas, when he contacted the Brownsville Police Department and admitted his role in the Portland-area killings of 44-year-old Marlene Claire Carlson in 1975, 15-year-old Julie Marie Bennett in 1977, and 33-year-old Nielene Doll in 1993.
On Aug. 6, 1975, authorities found Carlson strangled in her apartment at 715 Southwest 15th Avenue. She was last seen alive on July 30, 1975.
On April 4, 1977, Bennett went missing, and officials discovered her dead two days later in Johnson Creek.
On July 21, 1993, Doll was found dead off Southeast Bull Run Road in rural Clackamas County. She had been reported missing earlier that month.
D’Breeze was convicted of the murders in January 2014.
