CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OR – A 33-year-old Portland man was found guilty of second-degree murder earlier in March for the 2024 killing of a 31-year-old woman who was renting out a room to the now-convicted killer. The victim reportedly predicted the defendant would murder her weeks in advance of the fatal act in a text message shared with a friend.
On March 17th, 33-year-old Bobby Alsup was convicted of second-degree murder in the March 2024 killing of Kaley Ann Snow, his landlord and past romantic interest. In a press release from the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office, Alsup’s extensive criminal history was outlined, noting past convictions of arson and assaulting women which were relevant given the circumstances of the 2024 case.
According to prosecutors, Alsup had murdered Snow on March 17th, 2024, after having rented a room from her several weeks earlier and pilfering items from the victim’s household to sell online.
Snow had apparently become worried about Alsup in the weeks leading up to her death, reportedly texting a friend, “I think this dude staying here might try to kill me. I’m not afraid to die, just afraid of nobody knowing who it was.”
On the day of the murder, Alsup struck the victim twice in the head with a hammer, later wrapping her body in blanket and placing it in a shed on her property. Three days after the murder, Alsup was arrested on unrelated charges of strangling another woman, with police inquiring about Snow’s whereabouts while he was in custody due to the victim’s family growing concerned having not heard from Snow in several days.
After Alsup was released from custody on the strangulation charge, he made a hasty attempt to cover up the murder by setting the shed ablaze on March 21st, 2024, while also having sent text messages to the victim’s phone posthumously to help establish an alibi.
Evan after Alsup tried dousing the murder weapon and the surrounding scene in household cleaning products to destroy DNA evidence, investigators still were able to link his DNA to the scene and act.
Sentencing for the defendant is slated for March 25th, where he faces a minimum of 25 years in prison before being eligible for parole.
