Her body discovered in January 1993.

Worley paroled from prison in December 1993.

Thanks. These are some good finds.

It seems he was still in Toledo somewhere between 1982 and 1986 when Vulcan Industries shut down. Cannot find where exactly Vulcan Industries sat in Toledo.

I asked for local knowledge earlier and we determined it was here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/1015+Water+St,+Toledo,+OH+43604,+USA/@41.6570533,-83.5267276,691m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x883b86b4e8f9afc7:0x609a96b8b19dad3d!8m2!3d41.6565733!4d-83.525064

I have marked it on the map

I second this.

Seeing these locations mapped together is powerful.

Might be a bit far-fetched but it was the years he worked in Toledo. Don't really think so...fairly bold move but worth putting out there! http://unsolved.com/archives/cynthia-anderson

Cynthia Anderson is a real mystery here in town. I remember when this happened. One of the lawyers she worked for was under investigation and has since been arrested? because he had ties and was involved in a big drug operation and crime. The thought being is that she overheard something she shouldn't have and was taken care of . Just what I recall.

Because Toledo is a "Little Detroit". Very heavy gang activity, Very high crime rates. I avoid Toledo like the plague. There are normally several shootings on the news weekly.

There IS a part of Toledo that is "a little Detroit" as you put it. We call it the hood. It's basically in what is described as Central Toledo. Very high crime rate, gang activity, drive-bys. Mostly African American..and they seem to rob, hurt and kill their own. Downtown Toledo (which used to be nothing but empty buildings, hookers and drugs, has undergone a revitalization, particular with the new MudHens ball stadium and the Huntington Center (venue for hockey and concerts) Many, many new restaurants, bars, housing are down there now and I feel safe walking down there at night. Much activity. The outskirts of downtown tho...I would not.

Promedica has built their headquarters there now and also opened a grocery store. The farmers market is held in Downtown Toledo and is highly trafficked with the public. They have events by Cosi- in the park..There's some shops, and hip places that have opened up. I don't think it's ever going to see its glory days like back in the 50's but it is WAY WAY better than it was in the 70's-80's

Back when he worked at Vulcan on Water st. That would have been super creepy. Quiet, lonely, on the Maumee River. I would have been scared to be in that area back then. Lots of drug stuff, prostitution etc.
