An Ohio police chief says two bodies were found in a house where a woman was rescued after an abduction. A third body was found at a nearby location and is believed to be related.
Ashland chief David Marcelli said a suspect in the Tuesday abduction, Shawn Grate, 40, was in custody and being questioned. Marcelli didn’t provide details about the bodies.
Ashland County coroner Dale Thomae said he didn’t know the gender of the victims, and said he hadn’t been allowed into the scene yet.
Thomae said he’ll use whatever means necessary to identify the bodies, but that could take time.

Richland County’s prosecutor told a newspaper Grate admitted he’d killed a woman in June at a property in Madison Township, near Ashland.
Investigators checked Tuesday and found a body down a ravine in woods behind that house, which was destroyed by fire.
FOX 8 reports that one family has identified one of the victims as Stacey Stanley, an Ashland, Ohio woman who had been missing for a week.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was processing the crime scenes. BCI spokeswoman Jill Del Greco said eight agents were assisting in collecting evidence.
