Charlotte Trego, Tiffany Sayre and Wanda Lemons are all still missing from Ross County. Bellomy says three missing women from three different counties all have something in common other than drug addictions.

"The rehab center in Scioto County is connected not only with Jayme Bowen's case, but down in Portsmouth with Megan Lancaster's case and in Ross County with Charlotte Trego's case," he said.

There are 3 other missing or found deceased women from Portsmouth mentioned in the comments here. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories...g-person-case-added-to-fbi-investigation.html

It's been more than two years since Megan Lancaster’s family has seen her.

"April the third of ’13,” Megan’s sister Kadie Lancaster said. “So yeah, twenty-six months."

She admits hope of seeing her sister in law again is fading.

"You look at the little boy, and you can't help but keep fighting,” she said.

Megan's 9-year-old son is just one of the people wondering what happened to her.

Police Investigate Possible Connection Between Several Missing Women
June 9th 2015: http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/miss...nection-between-several-missing-women-n371821

It's been more than two years since Megan Lancaster's family has seen her, and now police in central Ohio are investigating a possible link between her case and several other women who have gone missing.

"We've had other family members scream at us, 'She's gone. She's dead. Get over it, go on.' And we can't. We have to know what happened to her. We want to put a rest to this. Not just her, to all of these missing women," Kadie Lancaster, Megan's siser-in-law, told 10TV.

A serial killer or a drug scourge? Police seek answers to women's deaths, disappearances
June 10, 2015: http://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/index.ssf/2015/06/a_vanishing_cry_police_investi.html

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – The women who fought their demons for years have vanished, leaving behind a mystery that has shaken small-town Ohio and raised a chilling fear.

Did a killer target them or did they fall victim to a drug scourge that has seeped into every part of the state?

Investigators create email tipline in search for missing women

A task force investigating a string of potentially-linked missing-persons cases and deaths in southern Ohio has added another way for people to submit tips: an email account.

The Ross County sheriff’s office said today that tipsters can now send information to detectives via a findme@rosssheriff.com email address.

A hotline of 740-774-FIND(3463) had already been established.

Missing women's family asked for money to see them again

That same month in Portsmouth, Ohio, a nearly identical development occurred in the disappearance of Megan Lancaster. One "Jenna McLain" reached out to Megan Lancaster's family through Facebook, said she had news about the case, then passed the conversation on to a male associate who seemed well-versed in the details of the case.

"And then out of nowhere, he pops up," Kadie Lancaster, Megan Lancaster's sister, told "20/20." "He says I know where Megan is. And I can get her back. [He] tells me how she was tortured and that she was in sex trafficking. And he told me that they kept her on chains in a room."

Then, the situation became even more ominous. Both families received a nearly identical, highly bizarre proposition: Each missing woman could be brought home alive, but it would take money -- lots of it. The emailer told Kadie Lancaster to bring $25,000 dollars in cash to a Vancouver, Washington, McDonald's and deliver it to a man named "Marcus," who would be wearing a red hat.

It appears as if the same group of scammers has also targeted Kelsie Schelling's family

This article is over a year old, though. McCrary is in jail for Claytor's murder, but was never charged in connection with the other ladies.

Megan Lancaster's car was found abandoned on April 3, 2013, in the parking lot of a Portsmouth, Ohio fast food restaurant. Megan, who was 25 at the time, had disappeared. Family members said the young mother of one son had fallen into a life of drugs and addiction before she vanished. Many have said Lancaster's case is eerily similar to the cases of several other missing women in surrounding counties over the past several years.
