Suspect in killing of Ohio student had hidden room with freezer, police say

[NaturalHigh]

A suspect in the death of an Ohio college student had a hidden room on his property with restraints, a freezer containing blood and evidence of additional potential victims, search warrants show.

That's just the start of a long list of items that included masks and a secret room concealed by hay bales.

Authorities charged James Worley, 57, this week with aggravated murder and abduction in the death of Sierah Joughin, 20.

The University of Toledo student went missing on July 19 while riding her purple bicycle in rural Fulton County, west of Toledo.

I'm betting this guy is a serial killer. One doesn't just start kidnapping and killing at age 57.

1. Well not with a custom hidden prison/freezer in the house too

This is not a one off crime of opportunity methinks.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. I thought that as well

At that age, it seems unlikely that he just now decided to take up that sort of 'hobby.'

18. Yeah, the prison/freezer was a dead giveaway to me, too. n/t

3. I am with you

this has serial killer written all over it. I can imagine all the families that have missing loved ones, in that area are on pins and needles.

4. It's been awhile since there's been an honest to goodness serial killer story in the news

These days, it's all about mass shooters

14. After watching the entire series of Dexter.... I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

5. Charged with Felonious assault in a similar case in 1990.

How much you wanna bet they let him out to make room for nonviolent drug users sentenced to ridiculous mandatory minimums?

[malaise]

6. Great point

That's a good bet

[NaturalHigh]

7. No kidding. Some poor sap is probably doing his time for pot possession.

8. This particular guy with a freezer was also this "poor sap" considering

he also spend time in prison for cultivation of marijuana.

11. My point was about non-violent drug criminals.

The fact that some violent criminals are also on drugs doesn't negate it. Some violent criminals drink booze (a lot of them, in fact) but that doesn't mean prohibition works.

[LisaL]

9. I don't think he should be your poster boy for this, considering he also spend time in prison for

cultivation of pot.

"Worley returned to prison in 2000 on felony convictions of illegal manufacture or cultivation of marijuana and having weapons while under disability. He left in 2002, according to state records, after again unsuccessfully petitioning for early release."

10. well for one, maybe prison turned him into a psychopath. But even leaving that aside, the fact that

a cannibal serial killer also grew pot doesn't mean that all pot growers are cannibal serial killers.

Cannibal serial killing is a crime, pot growing shouldn't be.

[LisaL]

12. Prison didn't turn him into a psychopath.

His pot conviction was after his abduction conviction.

[Warren DeMontague]

17. My point stands.

We should be putting people in prison for violent crimes, not for stuff like growing pot. Just because a violent criminal also grew pot once, doesn't negate that logic.

How much time did he get for the abduction versus for growing the weed, do you think?

[Initech]

13. Isn't this how "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" ended?

And where's Dexter when you need him?

[davidn3600]

15. Police also found zipties, duck tape, ski mask, mace, panties, journals, maps, and a "nanny cam"

Um yeah.....serial killer.

16. Agree, your average killer probably does not have a secret torture chamber.

Now we wait to find out the numbers.
