Woman’s body found hanging from a fence mistaken for a ‘Halloween decoration’

Chillicothe Police arrested a man in connection to the homicide of a female victim whose body was found dangling from a fence. After a few deliberation, they realized it was an actual body.

Ross County Jail officials didn’t know Thursday night if Cochenour was being represented by an attorney.

Investigators also said Cade was beaten badly, according to the station.

Though Cade’s killing is one of several to rock the city over the last 16 months, police have said that they don’t believe it’s tied to what a few fear is a serial killer in their midst.

Eventually it was determined that the body belonged to Rebecca Cade a mother in the area.

“Just put my hands over my face and said, ‘This can’t be happening here, it’s not real, and I just didn’t see what I thought I saw, ‘” Dixon said.

Police Handout Rebecca Cade, 31, was trying to flee her suspected killer when her sleeve became caught on a barbed wire fence.

A preliminary autopsy found Cade died from blunt force trauma to the head and neck.

Friends and family paid tribute to Cade, saying despite her troubles, she “had people who loved her”.

“Rebecca didn’t deserve that, what happened to her”, Denise Hughes, who is raising Cade’s 15-month old son, Bryan, told the Columbus Dispatch.

“It was so bad that I thought the prank went too far”. “Hopefully taking him off the street will make this community a little bit safer”.

“In conversations with police officers, Cochenour admitted to a physical altercation with the woman at or near the place where she was found dead”, said Rutherford. Since past year, four other women have been found dead and two have disappeared.
