TOLEDO, Ohio — The circumstances, separated by 26 years, are chilling — two women attacked while bicycling alone down lonely Ohio country roads on warm July days.
The first fought off her attacker on Independence Day in 1990 after he knocked her from the bike with his truck, pulled her inside the cab and handcuffed her.
The second, a 20-year-old college student, never made it home from her ride last week. Authorities believe that they found Sierah Joughin’s remains hidden in a field of cornstalks— and that the same man abducted both women and killed Joughin.
Now they’re looking into whether there could be more victims, Attorney General Mike DeWine said Tuesday.
James Worley, 57, who spent three years in prison after the 1990 abduction, was arrested Friday, three days after Joughin disappeared. He was charged Tuesday with aggravated murder and was due in court Wednesday.
