The week-long search for an Ohio woman, her 10-year-old son and a family
friend has ended with the discovery of their remains, Knox County Sheriff David Barber said Thursday.
The bodies of Tina Herrmann, 32, her son, Kody Maynard and friend, Stephanie Sprang, 41, were found in garbage bags in a hollow tree near Frederickton, Ohio, Barber told reporters.
The three went missing last Wednesday, along with Herrmann's 13-year-old daughter, Sarah Maynard, who was found bound and gagged in a basement over the weekend.
The owner of the residence, Matthew Hoffman, 30, was arrested on suspicion of abducting her. Hoffman provided authorities with information that led to their bodies, Barber said.
That's not very detailed, but it's a sorry outcome, anyhow.
We won't get much as far as details right now. Should hear more as the investigation progresses. At this point. . .do you really need to know more than you do right now?
forget what that other tool replied....I agree. I want to know how they got in said tree, who did it, where at, how close to their home, etc.
Why do YOU need to know? The whole family is dead and you need details to satisfy your curiosity?
To the ones who want to KNOW ALL, you do realize that if the police release all information, that it could ruin any chances for a guilty verdict in the case? Do some research before making such comments.
Hoffman, who abducted 13-year-old Sarah Maynard, gave cops the information to find the bodies, wimmers. I think that will lead to some answers.
if you want more information go to columbus ohio news stations such as nbc4i.com they have alot more info due to it being local. i live not too far from where this all happened.
We need capital punishment more than ever and this case cinches it!!!
If it was YOUR family, would you want everyone to know the gory details? Think about it.
What a sad ending. My prayer is with the family.
My thoughts and prayers are also with the young girl who has lost BOTH her mother and her brother. Regardless of what a person "believes" that girl is going to need all the support (and yes..prayers) she can get in her life from this point on.
oh no! whereʻs the rest of the story??? whats goin on newsmedia?
Standard news media with limited info. Bring back the days when the Liberal Lame Stream Media actually practiced journalism
It's called "breaking news" because there is limited information at this point.
thank you sherlocks. regardless the media has done a great job at distracting us from this urgent situation. i know investigations and what not, but why even release a story without info? professionally irresponsible.
clearly it says 'This Just In' at the top of the page so not much is going to be reported. please actually read the top before you go saying there isn't anything even reported. when something is BREAKING NEWS they don't even have the full story yet
Yeah, Moose! You tell 'em! Let's go back to the good old days when the newspapers got updated *maybe* once a day, when the evening news was off it was OFF, and all of this gosh-danged liberal elitist media got its facts straight before reporting anything. Sure, you might have to wait 48 hours to hear a breaking story unless someone you knew in a different city and decided to call you about it, but LIBERAL LIBBY LAME STREAM MEDIA LIBS LIBS RELOAD PALIN 2012 AND OTHER THINGS I READ ON THE FOX-ER-NET!
Your opinion is invalid. Go away.
@MOOSE....You should watch more Fox News.....they give you nothing but the faux
wonder why so many psychopaths around us , be aware.. not just of so called terorists
I agree! An absolute terrifying tragedy.
It's what everybody feared, but very sad all the same. Condolences to the families & friends. This will be especially hard on the thirteen year old girl that survived. I wish her strength. May the kidnapper/murderer spend the rest of his days in hell on earth.
he shouldn't be spending anymore days on earth
I clicked the home page breaking news banner and hoped to get details on an emerging story. CNN you got me again.
idiot
Stupid
cause youre a DUMB F***
Why am I not surprised? There are so many perverts out there and no wonder they call ours a sick society.
hmm, wonder if the daughter found earlier was involved?
to "footnote": that's what i was thinking...
I hope you are kidding
You're kidding, right? She's 13, and was found bound and gagged in his basement. She's involved, all right, but not in the way you imply. Poor child...
FootNote & MM, how could you possibly think that way? This poor girl has been through an extremely traumatic experience and has lost her mother and brother at 13 y/o. She was held captive by a sick psychopath who I'm sure is also a pedophile. Get real!
I should have never created humans. They were my biggest mistake.
Amen to that God
I've offered to correct your mistake. Just give me the word....
Guess nobody's perfect ...not even God 😀
My apologies – i've asked that my prior reply be removed from this site – the happy face is most definitely NOT appropriate for this particular site – even if "in jest."
At least the seach is over and they can hang this derelict who killed them. NEXT!
unfortunately, the disgusting killer will live pretty well while isolated on death row. there is no way he will suffer any thing close to what his victims have. only God can truly judge the criminals among us.
I am totally in shock over this. The family lived a couple of miles from my brother, and they found the bodies only a few miles from others of my family. Prayers are going up for their families.
i am sorry for that whole community. we never expect such evil to hit close to home. it is almost unimaginable what one human can do to another. i think that our country needs to get away from mass consumerism and instant gratification, and mass media, and try to be a society that values family, friendships and faith and hard work. we are too desensitized to such violence due to the content of some tv and movies, etc.
We need to stop wasting tax payer money on these type of crminals putting them in jail, etc. We should take a cue from the middle east. Chop of hands, arms, legs, other parts, and call it a day.
CNN is about an hour behind on this breaking news too, still very sad for all parties involved.
Who the hell cares? Why post something like that? Did you life change suddenly because you heard about this tragedy an hour late? Idiot.
where doppl get these ideas i cant belive it!!!:(:(:(
One Word, ............. SAD!!!
Two Words .......................... Kill'em
Three Words ........................................ For What Reason.
