According to a release from nonprofit Cleveland Missing, a suspect has been indicted in Huron County Common Pleas on charges of murder, gross abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. A source close to the investigation tells WKYC the suspect is Fredrick Reer, Dean's former boyfriend.

Dean was 36 years old in July of 2017 when she was first reported missing. Her mother, Caroline Tokar, told 3News Investigates in 2020 that she believed her daughter had been abused by a boyfriend and that it was "out of character" for her to go so long without contacting her family.

"I've never heard from my daughter," Tokar said of Dean, a mother of four. "No one in my family has heard from her. We don't know if she is safe."

However, Huron County Sheriff Todd Corbin told WKYC that same year that Amanda had been living at a domestic violence shelter. He claimed staff members at the facility had spoken to him and said she was "in a good place" and "being cared for."

"It's at her discretion if she wants to contact her family," Corbin added at the time. "She is not being held against her will

Amanda's family wanted Corbin to search the property at Wells Road where Amanda lived with Reer in an outbuilding when they reported her missing back in 2017, but Corbin refused.

In November, a team of agents from the attorney general's office with a backhoe and mobile crime lab vans, executed a search warrant at the property.

The search warrant filed in Norwalk Municipal Court was sealed, however, so it's unknown what agents were searching for on the property, and what, if anything, was removed.

About a dozen agents were there for about 10 hours over two days, working at several dig sites on the property.

Amanda Dean case: New questions surround Huron County Sheriff's Office after missing woman's boyfriend charged with her murder

In a 2020 interview, Sheriff Todd Corbin told 3News Dean was living in a domestic violence shelter. New court documents show she had already been dead for years.

February 13, 2024

NORWALK, Ohio — The recent murder indictment in the case involving Amanda Dean's former boyfriend has prompted new questions about how the Huron County Sheriff's Office handled the case before handing it off to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).

The Board president of Cleveland Missing says — based on what he's read, seen, and heard — he believes the sheriff's office had "dropped the ball" on Amanda's case.

*****
In a March 2020 interview with the 3News Investigates team, Amanda's mother Caroline Tokar said she believed her daughter's boyfriend — Frederick Reer — had abused her. Her worst fear was that Amanda was dead, even though the sheriff's office was telling her she was alive.

******
During that same investigative story in 2020, Sheriff Todd Corbin told WKYC his team was initially investigating Amanda Dean as a missing person's case. However, they stopped the investigation, he said, after a domestic violence shelter told him she was living there.

******
"And that makes me sad, because this family had asked for answers for years and they had gone to the sheriff's office and dropped off cards and asked that the cards be given to [Amanda] under the assumption that she was alive, but she wasn't," he added. "[The family] asked for proof of life for a long time, and they had not gotten it."

This is just awful. Legal action should be taken against such law enforcement, they obviously knew she wasn't at any shelter.

Corbin makes statement

Says truth about Amanda Dean will come out

sanduskyregister.com

[...]

Dean was allegedly killed by Fred Reer, 40, of the 1700 block of Wells Road in Collins on or about July 11, 2017, according to an indictment filed Friday in Huron County Common Pleas Court.

It's the same day her family reported her missing.

[...]

In November, about a dozen state agents using a backhoe and mobile crime lab vans, spent about 10 hours over two days executing a search warrant at the Wells Road property.

The indictment filed Feb. 9 suggests they recovered evidence that Amanda was killed there and that some body parts or other evidence might have been recovered during the search.

It's still not known what evidence was collected. The search warrant and related documents were sealed for 90 days by Norwalk Municipal Court Judge Eric Weisenburger in November.

[...]

On Tuesday, the judge extended the seal for another 90 days.

sbm - I’m sorry, why was this indictment sealed in the first place? and then what allowed them to magically unseal it and discover whatever evidence was there to arrest this ?

IANAL but it makes sense to me that it was initially sealed until the grand jury convened to hear the case. Grand Jury proceedings are always confidential. I believe it's standard for it to remain sealed after the indictment is issued and until the accused has been served. It will all come out eventually. MOO

 

[ErinC]

Could this FR character maybe have been a confidential informant? I've noticed that in a lot of cases where LE isn't reacting to a suspect in the way we'd expect, the suspect has turned out to be a CI. MOO, IMO, etc

Was Dean family harassed?

Woman allegedly extorted murder victim's sister

sanduskyregister.com

A self-described podcaster falsely accused family members of a murdered woman of being involved in her disappearance, harassed them and tried to extort the dead woman's sister.

That's according to a search warrant filed in Erie County Common Pleas Court on April 15 in State vs. Ashli Ford, a felony extortion and intimidation case against the 39-year-old Milan woman.

[...]

Ford went to the property when news broke that agents were there with a search warrant. She spoke of the experience in her Facebook post.

"Everyone's eyes were on me," Ford wrote. "People beeped and waved to me as they drove by. My phone rang constantly for interviews. I gave at least four. They called me! I did not reach out to the media."

[...]

"That's the only thing that's ever kept Amanda from being found," Ford wrote. "Not Sheriff Corbin. Not the media. Not a stranger. Her mother and her sister have kept justice from Amanda. They do it every time they lie or try to shift the narrative to make themselves look better."

Attorney requests mental evaluation for Dean killing suspect

To 'assist in his own defense'

During the hearing, Huron County Common Pleas Judge James Conway said he had received a request from defense attorney J. Anthony Rich for Reer to receive an assessment and evaluation.

"Counsel needs professional assurance that (Reer) is competent, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, and that he is able to assist counsel in his own defense before further hearings in this matter and further needs to be assured he understood right from wrong at the time the alleged offenses occurred," Rich wrote in the motion.

Conway said that the court would schedule a time for Reer to receive that evaluation.
