OH OH - Chillicothe/Middletown Missing/Murdered, Possible Serial Killer

Another missing woman from Columbus (just north of Chillicothe).

I feel like if there is an actual serial killer then this poor girl doesn't fit the profile. I really hope she's somewhere safe, but statistically speaking, I'm afraid for her none the less.

Here is another woman from Kentucky who went missing in August 2013. She also was a mother with children.

Her case probably isn’t connected, but before her disappearance she told a family member that she was making a trip to Ohio with a friend to see a doctor.


KY - Diana Roberts, 31, Perry County, 4 August 2013

You know, this is interesting. Another of the victims said they were going to get a ride from a truck driver to Texas. Odd, albeit small connection. The more I think about it, the more I think if there is a serial killer, he's a truck driver, or someone in a similar field.

I personally feel if it were the work of a pimp or multiple pimps, it'd be too close to home. All of these people that are in the same circles would find out sooner or later and it's just not smart. But if you're someone that shows up every 6 months, maybe the ladies change around a bit, maybe they're seasonal, too. It seems some of these ladies prostitute out of current need and not necessarily as their job? Just thoughts.

Either way, I think it'd be foolish to not assume that there is a serial killer because how this many women so similar in age/status/etc go missing and are found dead, it's like the writing is on the wall.

Hi ya'll, this case caught my eye last week on HuffPost, and I found WebSleuths in my search. I've been compiling a spreadsheet of all possible people involved, dating back to the 1980's. I have no idea what's related and what's not, but if you have any suggestions on what to add, separate tabs, etc. please feel free to share. People have been adding names to this case as time has gone on, but you really have to scroll through all of the comments to read them. Because this is a Google Doc, any of you can comment on it directly, discuss it with me in the chat function, or comment on this forum, as I'm following. The reason that I added a couple from Texas is that someone pointed out in a different forum that one of the Chillicothe girls got in a truck on its way to Texas, and she had friends in common with Danielle Sleeper, in Magnolia, Texas. Well, Patricia Collins was found dead in Texas the exact same day Danielle Sleeper went missing. I'm trying to see if there's an interstate thing going on there, but it's totally possible those two cases are unrelated. Anyway, here's the Google Doc link, and a copy of the spreadsheet is shown below, but it won't be updated the same way the Google Doc will.

Leslie Lorick is wanted for theft. It's likely she's missing because she's evading LE.

I found a church bulletin that references Angela (Dawn) Fowler Hammond's death: http://sunshine-church.org/bulletin/2004-2014/2005/050717.pdf It's dated July 2005.

Her sister has a petition on change.org that includes the information she was found near a reservoir(!): https://api.change.org/p/sherrod-br...-an-unrightful-death-and-justice-to-be-served Also has the detective's name. I think it's the same one you mentioned in the spreadsheet.

I can't find the article the petition refers to and I can't find an obituary either. But I did find her death certificate: http://death-records.mooseroots.com/l/196877554/Angela-Dawn-Fowler-Hammond There may also be some information on Ancestry.com if anybody has a membership there.



It's a bit tricky finding information because there's another Angela (Marie) Hammond who's missing from Missouri and might be a serial killer victim...

Is anyone listening to or watching the press conference?

 

[egirl1123]

Carbuff, that's awesome, thank you! I've been beating my head against the wall trying to find out some simple details about some of these girls, like their age, and actual date of death. I updated the spreadsheet accordingly. I found some of them on Topix, which of course is an unreliable source. However, some of them haven't been officially reported as missing because they travel, or don't live in reliable housing, etc. I moved Leslie Lorick to a "likely unrelated" tab. I'll move more over at other people's suggestions.

One interesting note: The church bulletin Carbuff found mentioned that Angela Fowler Hammonds was an acquaintance of "Stephanie Copas." Any relation to Bethany Copas, that went missing under similar circumstances, but was found in a parking lot, alive and disoriented?

I lost my internet due to storms and missed it. Hopefully media will have something on it soon.

I didn't come up with anything definitive. Copas appears to be a fairly common name in the area (extending clear down into KY). One Stephanie is an older woman; another is a Copas by marriage. There may be two named Bethany.

There's an association with people named Gray, Grooms, and Parkham.

Well the court house is right across the street from the newspaper so that's cool.

How far from Chillicothe do you live? Is it weird being there? From what I've seen, the whole town is kind of industrial and run-down with only a couple nicer areas in the outskirts.

Ask her how it smells

Quoting myself to explain. The paper mill is big business in Chillicothe but the fumes are overwhelming depending on the wind and cloud cover. Even with the windows up in our truck it still seeps through.

I lived near Savannah GA and there's a paper mill there. Ew! Lol

Here is another woman from Kentucky who went missing in August 2013. She also was a mother with children.

Her case probably isn’t connected, but before her disappearance she told a family member that she was making a trip to Ohio with a friend to see a doctor.


KY - Diana Roberts, 31, Perry County, 4 August 2013

Here’s what I was thinking when I pointed out the August 2013 disappearance of Diana Roberts from Perry County, Kentucky.

Prior to her disappearance, Diana Roberts had told a family member that she was making a trip to Ohio with a friend to see a doctor. Now what we don’t know is what part of Ohio she was going to, whether she was going to visit a legitimate doctor or a pill mill, and if she ever made the trip to Ohio.

Now during the past decade, there were a lot of folks from Kentucky that traveled to Ohio to visit pill mills.

Keep in mind that Megan Lancaster disappeared from Portsmouth, Ohio in April 2013. At the time of Megan’s disappearance, there was a pill epidemic going on in Portsmouth and southern Ohio.

And here is another interesting fact about the disappearances of Diana Roberts from Perry County, Kentucky and Natasha Fugate Jones from Knott County, Kentucky. Not only were they both mothers who had children, the locations where Diana Roberts and Natasha Fugate Jones were last seen were 2 ½ miles apart from each other.
