This article in the University of Toledo Collegian Newspaper explains that Ohio, and specifically Toledo, is one of the worst places in the nation for human trafficking - I believe relating to why we see so many murders of young women in our region. What can we do to solve this?

Hposleuth, Human Trafficking is a major contributor to the tragic Silent Epidemic of Missing & Murdered Persons in the US and beyond. Your question ; 'What can we do to solve this'? is a very good question. By being a member of websleuths and being involved in spreading awareness, while seeking answers, you are already making a contribution. I always think of Helen Keller's quote; "Alone we can do little, but together we can accomplish anything"!

There are many SARs and missing persons advocacy groups in OHIO and all across the US. Due the physical requirements, family or other commitments, financial, etc. You do not have to be a foot searcher or k9 handler, etc., to contribute or to become an advocate, nor does it have to be full time.. There are researchers, mappers, and many other support services needed to properly operate the day to day operations of these very effective organizations.

As John Walsh says, "You can make a difference"!

CUE<Community United Effort>is a very good missing person organization and has an Ohio State Coordinator

Does anyone recall anything about a woman's body found in Oak Openings in 1980 ?? Last night I was helping a friend w an unrelated case and the article we were referencing had a very interesting article right next to it ! And thus far I cant find a follow up or any other info about this woman's body who was found. Anyone? Here's the link
https://news.google.com/newspapers?...AIBAJ&sjid=lQIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6992,5281192&hl=en

I believe the Oak Openings Industrial Park is just North of SR 2 (Airport Hwy) on Eber RD. I don't recall anybody bringing this victim into the JDW threads. Good find!!!

Not see this one BoggLed no, good find!

Ok the article says 'Industrial Drive' in Oak Openings Industrial Park but Industrial Drive is over in Delta. There is an Industrial Road over where my quick search says Oak Openings Industrial Park is.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/10366+Industrial+Rd,+Swanton,+OH+43558,+USA/41.5737437,-83.9787589/@41.5967085,-83.9285145,21984m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m8!4m7!1m5!1m1!1s0x883c656c9104bab1:0xe467390e804799fd!2m2!1d-83.7931724!2d41.6113066!1m0

What does everyone think? An error in the blade report?

 

[Deltucky]

I'm guessing it's Industrial Road, off Eber. Lots of large oak trees there. Squirrel hunters would be in an area where there are oak trees. Industrial Drive in Delta only has a tiny amount of trees, that might not have even been there in 1980.

You're probably right. Hey if anyone has time to keep digging to try and find subsequent articles on who she was. , Cause of death etc that would be great. I'm working now amd can't really do much researching

I've had a look, but this is why I try and stick to maps! I suck ! I can't find anything. I'll hold off adding her to the map to see if we find anything more

 

[skibaboo]

Still got nothing.

I have found a black female missing since 3rd August 1980, still not found. She was 20 yrs old Cherita Janice Thomas

But she went missing from Au Sable Charter Township, MI. 235 miles north, straight line down to our body though. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Au+Sable+Charter+Twp,+MI,+USA/41.6115229,-83.793459/@43.2509645,-84.2875393,458900m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!4m13!1m10!1m1!1s0x88273b1489eaba4f:0x92ff79a15a1492ec!2m2!1d-83.357567!2d44.3761046!3m4!1m2!1d-83.7584171!2d42.3815887!3s0x882352aa548b9f1f:0x3e38f4e8c1b336a2!1m0!3e0

"Jimmie Nelson was charged in the case 2004 but didn't face trial until 2010 because of appeals and other delays. He served three years of a 25-year prison sentence for her death. The state appeals court threw out Jimmie Nelson's second-degree murder conviction in 2014. The court says new evidence has been discovered that implicates another person in the death of Cherita Thomas."

Interesting but as shes not been found I'm not sure what this means.

Like I said, I suck at this bit lol

ETA: Cheritas WS thread http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?33450-MI-Cherita-Janice-Thomas-20-Ausable-Township-4-Aug-1980&highlight=Cherita+Janice+Thomas

It looks like from reading this, they have the guy who did it? So, idk, reading the OP gave me goosebumps though.

I think I should crawl back into my hole

Karen Kohls is listed on the Worley Potentials spreadsheet.

Interesting, I found Karen Kohls age 32. Last seen 10-5-82. Found deceased a year later. COD was suicide by hanging.

Found in Oak Openings Park.

Google "deaths at Oak Openings Park"

So unless we find out KLK wasnt depressed , she could probably be removed from the potential list, but IMO I would like to try and find out more info first . There's an off chance possibility that the hanging was staged to just appear as a suicide

I thought it curious that her personal belongs; purse, etc. was found after over a year in the woods. Many animals scavenge materials in the fall of the year to build their winter nests and the purse, money, and papers would likely have been collected for this purpose.

It just seems strange she was at work that day , left for lunch , went to lunch at the mall, and then the park and then she just goes and hangs herself?? Seems like if you were that depressed and suicidal you wouldn't bother going to work that day and what would you need to eat lunch for if you're going to kill yourself in the next hour or two

Oh yikes! How did we not see this? Maybe I myself took it for granted she was listed as still missing and didn't dig deeper because of the proximity to OOP and the attempted abduction site of RG?

 

[jashrema]

Do we have a Michele Reindenbach from Zelienople, Pennsylvania on the list? Idk why this popped up on a link while I was surfing around tonite. I read the cold case, she disappeared in 1981. Straight shot on turnpike. Worley would have been, 21?22? The reason I'm posting this is because this young girl was working and took a break to walk to the pharmacy (she was 16) She disappeared and has never been located but she WAS seen talking to a young man that had a red car. I know its a long shot but didn't Worley have a red car back then? I know he had a red car sometime and one thing about Worley that shows me he was active at kidnapping for many years is the sheer volume of cars that he had over the years. Like everytime he would kidnap somebody, he'd dump the car and get another one..I know there is a list maybe in the other thread about all the different cars he has had. I feel like the red one may have been a "classic"...i will try to find more info out. I know..I'm rambling..sorry

 

[hposleuth]

Deltucky. Do you happen to know the family who owns/owned that property ? (Not sure I can mention the name even though it's on the article , but to be safe I won't mention it here) just wondering if anyone knows the family, if they still live there, and if anyone knows what ...the condition of the infant was when found (I hate to even type those words, you know, but if there were any obvious injuries or observations made to indicate a possible cause of death, and also if baby girl had been there very long ? The article didn't state if partially decomposed etc )

'Newborn' infant found at County rd. J & 5. literally right around the corner from his house. Is it even a full mile away?

I've been half expecting JDW to do something bizarre like that.

Neighbor of Suspect in Sierah Joughin's Murder Says She Had Creepy 'Gut Feeling' On Recent Visit


<snip>
“And he looked at [my daughter] and was like, “You’re 12,” she adds. (Peluso’s daughter was 12 at the time of their first meeting.)
“<M> and I looked at each other and I just thought, ‘That’s weird.'

<snip>
‘I Had this Gut Feeling’
Peluso, who has lived in her home in the same town as Worley for 12 years, says she was unaware of Worley’s criminal history when she went to visit him but still felt uncomfortable.
“I was kind of scared,” she tells PEOPLE. “I had this gut feeling. There was something about him that made me think he was strange.”

I wonder if we should include future possible victims in this thread. Oh Good Lord.
