Man who confessed to 3 Ore. homicides to enter pleas

PORTLAND, Ore. — A convicted sex predator who has confessed to killing three women in Oregon is scheduled to enter pleas Wednesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland.

The Oregonian reported 64-year-old Jeffrey Cutlip detailed the deaths after calling 911 in July 2012 in Brownsville, Texas, saying he wanted to talk about bad things he had done in the past.

He was indicted in the deaths of 44-year-old Marlene Claire Carlson of Portland in 1975, 15-year-old Julie Marie Bennett of Milwaukie in 1977 and 33-year-old Nielen Doll of Spokane, in 1993. Carlson and Doll were strangled. Bennett was drowned.

Cutlip has been classified as a predatory sex offender since 1982 convictions for sodomy and burglary.
