Authorities say a kidnapping suspect confessed to a murder and directed OH investigators to a third body after two were found at a different property along with a surviving woman who had reported being held captive.

During a search of the home, investigators found the remains of two other women.
Chief David Marcelli confirmed one of the bodies at the home was that of Stacey Stanley, who had been reported missing from her home in Greenwich, Huron County.
Authorities also found two bodies at the residence.
Grate remains in custody charged with abduction.
In the call, she talks with the dispatcher as police attempt to find her.
Grate allegedly kidnapped the woman, forcing her to engage in sexual activity since Sunday, according to court documents.
Grate is accused of holding the surviving woman “against her will for the objective of engaging in sexual activity”, between September 11 and 13, Tunnel said. Hicks had last been seen on September 8 and was reported missing.
Stacey Stanely’s sister asserts the police did not take her sister’s disappearance seriously enough. The homes where the bodies were found in Ashland were supposed to be vacant.
She is heard whispering to a dispatcher, terrified that she will wake him up.
The house has been cordoned off with yellow police tape, and two bouquets of sunflowers were placed in front with a teddy bear and a cross with Stanley’s name and the message: ‘You are loved by many’.
Investigators discovered two bodies in the abandoned home.
She is able to tell the police where to find her by saying she is being held in a house across the street from a certain laundromat. She had known him for about a month and a half, she told the dispatcher. The woman said, “Not unless they were right here”. The remains weren’t immediately identified, but authorities had a lead on the woman’s identity, Couch Page said.
A body found in the woods behind a burned-out home in Mansfield was removed late Wednesday afternoon.
Record show Grate, who is homeless, has a long criminal record and served time in prison on a burglary charge beginning in 1997. Authorities say Shawn Grate, a suspect in the abduction, confessed to killing a woman at a house about 20 minutes away in June.

The woman repeatedly says she is afraid to make noise, to open a squeaky door or to try and leave.
