Oregon man accused of killing girlfriend, dumping her body with teen son’s help

OREGON CITY, Ore. (TCN) -- An Oregon man stands accused of killing his live-in girlfriend and dumping her remains in a forest with help from his teenage son, authorities said.

William Glen Blake, 56, was arrested Oct. 23 and charged with second-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, unlawful use of a weapon, and tampering with evidence relating to the death of his girlfriend, 38-year-old Jennifer Ruth Stuart, according to a statement from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

Blake’s 15-year-old son, whose name is being withheld due to his age, has been charged in juvenile court with abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence.

According to the sheriff’s office, detectives believe Blake killed Stuart during an argument on August 15, 2025, at their home in Oregon City. Blake then allegedly enlisted one of his teenage sons to help dispose of her body. The two reportedly transported Stuart’s remains to a forested area in Clackamas County.

Stuart’s body was discovered Sept. 1 in the Mount Hood National Forest. Her death was ruled a homicide.

During their investigation, deputies allege Blake admitted that he and Stuart had gotten into an argument that turned violent, leading to her death.

Blake was booked into the Clackamas County Jail without bail and is scheduled to appear in court this week.

Blake’s teenage son was released to his mother pending further proceedings. Investigators said another teenager might also have knowledge of the case and asked for anyone with information to come forward.
