Is there any precedent for this? Basically LE making public notification they think harm has come to a woman they won't name nor will say anything else about it?

What's the Marshals angle?

Strange.

SYLVANIA TWP., Ohio (WTVG) - Authorities are looking for a missing Sylvania Township woman they believe to have been harmed in connection to a man accused of kidnapping an Ohio girl and taking her out of the country.

Dep. Chief Rettig with Sylvania Township Police said Nicole Jones, 53, is missing and may have been harmed. Her son, Jonathan Robert Jones, 33, was arrested in Mexico for the alleged kidnapping of a 17-year-old girl from Canton, Ohio. Police say the cases are connected.

Authorities were searching for Jonathan Robert Jones and the missing Canton teenager last week, issuing a call for information on their whereabouts on Saturday. On Monday, U.S. Marshals said the suspect and the girl were found in Mexico.

13abc crews saw Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents at the Jones’ home in the 7400 block of Timbers Edge Boulevard on Wednesday. Thursday morning Sylvania Township Police said the Canton Ohio Police Department asked the agency to check on the safety of a woman who lived there on May 5, the same day authorities had previously listed the last sighting of Jonathan Robert Jones and the teen in the United States before they turned up in Mexico. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona said at the time the two were seen in a Buick Encore registered to Jones’ mother, Nicole Jones.

When U.S. Marshals requested the public’s help finding the suspect and the teen last Saturday, the press release said Jones was wanted by the Wood County Sheriff’s Office for pandering obscene material and child endangerment.

The timeline of these two cases is more than I can make sense of at this time of night. Mother, son, underage teen, two countries, two or three missing people originally. Two found and one missing now. It seems likely the cases are involved, which may be why the police want to find the mother.

So Jonathan Robert Jones, likely harmed his Mom (Nicole) - took her car and booked it to Mexico with a minor? Is that what we're looking at here?

That’s what it looks like. I’m guessing she tried to stop him?

 

[TenaciousTBacon]

This guy's smiling face in these posts is making my blood pressure rise. Poss harmed his mom, stole her car, took off with a minor to Mexico. What a piece of work.

 

[MinnyPin]

So Nicole is missing and her 33 yr old son was just arrested after taking a teenager to Mexico? This doesn’t sound good.

Jones is the mother of 33-year-old Jonathan Jones of Toledo. He was taken into custody Monday in Mexico after a manhunt that stretched two countries. He was with a 17-year-old from Canton who had been reported missing since April 18. Authorities have not said how Jonathan Jones and the girl knew each other.

The Cochise County Sheriff's Office in Arizona confirmed Jones and the girl were seen there in a 2021 Buick owned by Nicole Jones on May 5 during the manhunt.

Jonathan Jones pleaded guilty in March to pandering obscene material and child endangerment. The conviction stemmed from a 2022 case in Wood County.

He was expected to be sentenced in the case last week but missed the May 4 appearance.

Wow, this is so tragic, Nicole Jones, age 53, was likely killed by her 33 year old son.

 

[Knox]

Sounds like there was evidence of Nicole's death found in her home. Curious who the additional charges will be filed against.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Just off King Road, between Central Avenue and Bancroft Street, is the Sylvania Timbers Edge Condominium Association -- where Nicole Jones lived. 96-year-old Ann McDede has lived here since 2000 when the condos were built. She said she loves her community.
"Everybody is so friendly and nice here," McDede said.

Jones' home is one of the first homes drivers see when entering the community. Neighbors believed she had lived at the edge of the neighborhood for about four years. They described her as private since none could recall ever seeing her at community gatherings or at the clubhouse for anything.

"It's very sad, it's upsetting," McDede said, referring to Jonathan's arrest. "I'm just glad the young girl is okay."

The uncertainty of a neighbor's fate can understandably rattle a community, but eight-year resident Kathleen Nightingale doesn't believe any of the nearly 60 residents plan on packing up and moving away in response.

"Either their adult children knew somebody who said that this is a safe place or they themselves knew somebody," Nightingale said of why people choose to live at Timbers Edge.

So they have arrested a juvenile for the murder of Nicole Jones and are looking for additional suspects. The son has not been mentioned as involved in the murder, at least at this stage.

I hope they are able to locate her body soon and that she gets the burial and respect she deserves.

The MSM reports are saying that the name of the suspect who was arrested for the murder of Nicole Jones has not been released, due to it being a juvenile. Are you thinking that it could be the 17 year-old who ran away with Nicole Jones' son and was apprehended when she was found with the son in Mexico? Wow, I had not even considered that.

But then I went to the Facebook page that you mention, and there is a post about enjoying being in one's own home, etc. Were they together in Nicole Jones' home after foul play toward NJ?

So other suspects are being looked for, so this could be quite a plot. What role does the son play - maybe they can get the arrested juvenile to talk, or the other suspects when they are arrested.

Where is Nicole? One of them knows.

This article makes it sound like the juvenile who was arrested for Nicole Jones' murder was also found in Mexico along with the missing Ohio girl. Maybe I am not reading it correctly.
