A Ross County grand jury has indicted a suspect in the shooting death of a woman whose slaying is one of several deaths and disappearances in the area in recent months.  The Ross County Sheriff's Office says 37-year-old Jason McCrary is charged with murder in the death of 38-year-old Timberly Claytor earlier this year.  The indictment also alleges McCrary is a repeat violent offender under Ohio law because of a previous conviction of aggravated robbery.  The body of Claytor was found in nearby Massieville on May 29.  Three other women have been found dead in the area since last year and two remain missing. Police say all were drug addicts and several had prostituted themselves.
