Killing was Purposeful /// Part 4 /// 844Part 4 of 4 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comStarting in the 80s and then continuing for two decades, Toledo and northwest Ohio was experiencing an increase in violent crimes. Horrifically, abduction, murder, and rape were on the rise. Some of these cases remain open to this very day. Murder was difficult to investigate. Some cases were traditional homicides - person kills someone they know for reasons specific to their relationship. Others were more random. There were cases that were closed out with someone being held accountable for their actions and then there are cases that have fallen by the wayside. These cases have gone cold. But as we look back we must consider the possibility that one or more serial offenders operated in this area and went undetected. This week we take a look at the homicide case of Sierah Joughin. If you have information regarding the unsolved murder of Joann Jasso, Lori Ann Hill, or any information regarding serial offender James Dean Worley call the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office at 419-335-4010.
