How to Stop a Serial Killer before He Starts - Part I
(USPA) Fulton County, Ohio, July 19, 2016. Fields growing with soybeans and corn. An otherwise peaceful and serene area with the wind blowing and children enjoying their summer break from school. Twenty year old Sierah Joughin rides her bicycle as she normally does on this weekday evening. She rode beside her boyfriend until they were to part ways when they needed to go to their respective homes. On her way home, Sierah is approached by a man on a motorcycle. The man, 57 year old James Worley, lives close by on a small farm. He is known to work on small motors and lawnmowers for individuals for extra money. At Sierah´s house, her mother was expecting her to be home soon. Her boyfriend after returning to his home, was not receiving replies to texts and calls he made to make sure she arrived safely.
Sierah Joughin was a business student at the University of Toledo (Ohio). I doubt that Mr. Worley cared about what Ms. Joughin was doing to prepare herself for her future. He only cared about fulfilling some need to control a woman. In his past, he had been convicted of abduction and served three years of a four to 10 year sentence. In July 1990, Robin Gardner was riding her bicycle in nearby Lucas County, Ohio, when she was bumped by Worley driving a flatbed truck, and she ended up in a ditch. He stopped to see if she was alright and then proceeded to hit her over the head, and drag her to his truck. He then attempted to handcuff Ms. Gardner, but she was able to get away and flagged down a motorist who took her home where she could call the authorities. James Worley was arrested one week later and in November 1990 he started his prison term.
In December 1993, Mr. Worley was released from prison to resume his life. Court records in Fulton County, Ohio, show no activity until April of 2000 when he was arrested for having a weapon while under a disability and cultivation of marijuana. Mr. Worley was found guilty of cultivation, while the weapon´s charge was dropped. He again went into the Ohio prison system, this time for two years. In September 2013, he purchased a three acre property in Fulton County where he and his mother resided, and he ran his small engine repair business. This brings us back to July 19, 2016, when Sierah Joughin went missing. When she did not return home and no one could reach her on their cell phones, her mother contacted the Fulton County Sheriff´s Office at 11 p.m. and filed a missing person report. An hour later. Sierah´s bicycle was found on the same road as Mr. Worley´s residence.
