A woman in OH whose 911 call led to the discovery of three bodies in two counties whispered to a dispatcher to “please hurry” and that she was scared.
The woman was unable to provide her exact location in the call, aware only that the home was across the street from an Ashland Laundromat near Covert Court.
Search warrants were prepared for that home and a home next door, and while investigators were at the scene, the remains of two people were found.
Police confirmed that one of the bodies was that of 43-year-old Stacey Stanley, of Greenwich, Ohio, who had been reported missingon September 8 when she told him that she got a flat tire.
Authorities are working to identify the remains.
She thinks he would have eventually killed her.
Kurtis Stanley said Wednesday he knew something was wrong when he hadn’t heard from Stacey Stanley and reported her missing to police the next day, September 9.
A woman’s body was found near this OH home.
In 1997, Grate once again found himself behind bars; this time for burglary. Firefighters battled a fire there that partially destroyed the vacant house on June. He then kidnapped her, she said, and tied her up inside the house.
It is unknown whether or not Shawn Grate was or was supposed to have been on any kind of supervised probation at the time that he allegedly abducted these women, killing three of them.
Kurtis Stanley says his mother had health problems and was retired.
Grate, 40, also led investigators to a third person’s remains at a property near Mansfield in neighboring Richland County, police said.
She replies, “He can catch me and he’s strong”. The woman said, “Not unless they were right here”. She had known him for about a month and a half, she told the dispatcher.
The coroner hasn’t determined Stacey Stanley’s cause of death or identified the second body, Ashland police said in a statement.
Stanley’s family claims that the 20 minute long phone call made by the abducted woman from the home of OH man Shawn Grate is added proof of the local police department’s inadequate and unacceptable response time.

Tracey Young of Ashland told WEWS Grate lured her to the home two weeks ago after she met him at a party.
