“Worley fits the profile of a serial offender and could potentially have additional unknown victims who could have been kept at the above described location,” wrote Sgt. Matthew Smithmyer of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. The sergeant said he knows “based upon [his] knowledge and experience that these types of offenders will often keep trophies.”
Worley, 57, the warrant states, told a therapist, who he was mandated to see by a Lucas County Common Pleas Court judge after a previous abduction conviction, that he “learned from each abduction he had done and the next one he was going to bury.”
Authorities found several pairs of women’s undergarments, one of which had blood on them. Worley told investigators that he had hidden cameras all over his property and authorities recovered what was described as a “nanny cam.”
On his property, authorities also found rope, tape, zip ties, handcuffs, several firearms, and ammunition. Multiple video and still-image recording devices and film were collected, though their contents have not yet been released. Authorities also recovered various items and clothing and jewelry on the property.
According to the warrants, cell phone location information showed he was at the scene of the abduction for nearly two hours during the time she was missing.
When questioned by investigators, he told them that “he didn’t steal anything or kill anyone,” but had fresh marks on his arms and bruises on his lower legs. Cheek and hand swabs were taken from Worley.
