SCSO launches death investigation into Raychel Sheridan case

PLAIN TWP., Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – The victim was found dead in Canton and the suspect was arrested in the city.

But the Stark County Sheriff’s Office is taking over the investigation into the murder of 24-year-old Raychel Sheridan.

Officials believe she was killed in the Plain Township apartment she shared with her 26-year-old boyfriend, Sean Goe.

On Tuesday, officers found evidence at Orchard Dale Drive NW.

But it wasn’t until Wednesday that Sheridan’s body was found near Mother Goose Land in Canton Park on the banks of the creek and Goe was arrested at a homeless shelter in the city.

Sheriff George Maier was unable to provide any information about when Sheridan might have been killed at a press conference on Wednesday.

She didn’t show up for work on Monday.

Goe faces a prison sentence of half a million dollars.

He was previously accused of a domestic violence incident in May involving Sheridan.

Sheriff Maier said Wednesday that help is available for victims of domestic violence.
