Mansfield police say they're looking for a connection between the death of Rebekah Leicy and Ashland County murder suspect Shawn Grate. The Mansfield woman's body was found in March, nearly a month after she was reported missing. Police Captain Shari Robertson says Grate indicated to investigators that he killed Leicy.
Ross County Sheriff's deputies are also looking for connections between Grate and several missing or deceased women in that area. Grate is charged with the murders of Elizabeth Griffith and Stacey Stanley. Grate is also linked to the murder of a Marion woman.
