ASHLAND, Ohio (AP) — A man who told a relative that he had killed a woman he had picked up in a bar will now face charges after her body was found in a wooded area, authorities said.
Tina Goad, 41, of Mansfield, was found Wednesday in Ashland, a day after she had been reported missing. Authorities have not said how she was killed or released the man’s name or the charges he will face, citing the ongoing investigation.
The man called a relative early Tuesday and confessed to the killing, authorities said. The man told the relative he had met Goad on Monday night and they left the bar together, but things later “went south” and he planned to leave the area and hide, authorities said.
The relative then contacted police and a massive search was soon launched for Goad and the man. The man was eventually found in the Cleveland area and eventually led officers to the wooded area where Goad’s body was recovered.
