This one is very disturbing.

Doris Jackson, 83, of the Tuppers Plains area was last seen about 1:30 p.m. Monday. She is described as 5 feet, 4 inches tall and about 170 pounds. She has gray hair, blue eyes and wears corrective lenses. Her car, a 1989 brown Mercury Marquis with the personalized Ohio license plate DOEJ, is also missing.



They found her body in her home yesterday. The Meigs County Sheriff's department tells WSAZ.com that the case of a missing woman is now a homicide investigation.

Thursday afternoon, investigators found the body of Doris Jackson inside her home on Arbaugh Road in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

They didn't search her home when she was reported missing? I'm sick to my stomach over this one.

Yeah that is what I first thought of. Why didn't they search the home when she was reported missing??

Apparently her house was so cluttered it was hard to find her. She was found under three feet of stuff.

I did hear that they found her car. I'll go look for that link.

Im srill praying for justice and the family of Doris.

Williams has been charged with her murder. He's in jail about a mile and a half from my home. I hope they send him back to Ohio soon and he's gets the maximum sentence allowable! My heart goes out to her family.

From October 2009:

http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/40260657.html

Charles Williams has avoided a possible death penalty trial by pleading guilty to the murder of Doris Jackson...

During the hearing, prosecutors told the court that Williams entered Jackson’s home, strangled and restrained her, cut her with a knife, and bludgeoned her. Williams then hid her body under items in her house. Prosecutors say Williams then stole firearms, money, and other items from the house...

Following the plea, Williams was immediately sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole after thirty years on the aggravated murder charges. He was also sentenced to ten years on the kidnapping charge, ten years on the aggravated charge, ten years on the aggravated burglary charge, five years for tampering with evidence, five years for grand theft of a motor vehicle and eighteen months for receiving stolen property.
