The Worth County Sheriff’s Office reports that the body of Melissa Chapman, who was reported missing on Aug. 23, was found in a rural area near Grant City. The cause of death was not reported.
Melissa’s estranged boyfriend currently is being held in the Harrison County Hail on $100,000 bond. He was to stand trial in November on charges of kidnapping and assaulting Ms. Chapman.
Sheriff Trevor Place said Tuesday that Worth County is continuing the investigation. He expects that additional charges may be filed in Harrison County as well.
