Body of missing student believed to be found

Fulton County Sheriff Roy Miller told reporters Saturday that a body found Friday evening near a rural road is believed to be missing student Sierah Joughin.

Miller did not offer details on how she might have died; however, 57-year-old James Worley was arrested Friday on a charge related to her disappearance. Additional charges against Worley are expected to be filed.

Worley was previously convicted of abducting a 26-year-old student who was biking down a country road in 1990.

Joughin was a 20-year-old student of the University of Toledo whose disappearance spurred a federal investigation after her bike was found in a corn field.

Since she went missing, the last trace of 20-year-old Sierah Joughin anyone saw was her purple bicycle, found abandoned in a cornfield near Toledo.

She was last seen riding her bike around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the Metamora area of Fulton County, her hometown.

No suspects have been named, but the FBI supervisor in Toledo confirmed he is working with area law enforcement agencies, and a $25,000 reward is being offered for information pertaining to her case.

Joughin, a student at the University of Toledo, is described as a white female, 5’5″ tall and weighing about 130 lbs. She has brown eyes and mid-length, brown hair. She was last seen wearing shorts, a neon yellow tank top, and tennis shoes.
