COLUMBUS – A body believed to be that of a northwest Ohio woman abducted while riding her bike has been sent to the coroner’s office in Toledo for an autopsy and positive identification through fingerprints or DNA, according to the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
Sierah Joughin, 20 (above left), was last seen Tuesday evening riding her bicycle in Metamora and human remains believed to be hers were found Saturday while authorities were searching for her body an area around County Road 7 in Fulton County, DeWine said.
A 57-year-old Delta man had been arrested Friday and was charged with abduction. DeWine says additional charges against James Worley (above right) are likely.
Joughin disappeared while riding her bicycle near Evergreen High School in Metamora (see map) and authorities are interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen a motorcyclist wearing a black open-faced, no-shield helmet riding on County Road 6 near County Road T and County Road S between 6:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on July, 19, DeWine said.
The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the FBI are investigating the case.
