Melissa Fay Calumpit, 35, allegedly lured her twice-estranged husband, 37-year-old Travis Haywood Calumpit, on July 12 for what the victim thought was the first step in rekindling their storied romance, according to an arrest affidavit. Travis Calumpit was found “face down, feet toward the river, with blood near his left side” and a gunshot wound to the chest at Martin’s Landing, a 60-acre campsite near the Snake River and Oregon border, the document reads. Police suspected the new widow after they conducted a phone interview with her in which she “made several statements during the investigation that were both incriminating, inconsistent with the evidence, and led investigators to believe she had intimate knowledge of details of the homicide that were not known to the public.” She admitted she killed her husband, the affidavit states, but first tried claiming she acted in self-defense after he raped her at the campsite.
