“I’m afraid he might hear me and catch me and he’s strong”, she told the dispatcher, according to Tuesday’s 911 audio released by Ashland police.

An unidentified woman who reported being held captive was rescued from the Ashland house on Tuesday.
He says Stacey hadn’t touched the drug in six months, was a devoted mom and was seemingly back on the right path, working daily and moving in with her sister for support.
“We did all the ground work, and we found that house, and they still didn’t react”, Argil says.
Then, on the night of September 8, her son Kory said, she went out for coffee.
She freed herself from being tied up and called 911 to try and get someone to save her before he woke up again.
The woman told police that Grate had rigged his bedroom door to make noise if she tried to escape. “A couple of days went by before they got that 911 call”.
Grate, who has a lengthy criminal record, including a previous abduction charge, remains in the Ashland County Jail.
After Grate was taken into custody, he told officers he was involved in another woman’s murder in Richland County, according to the prosecuting attorney for Richland County, Bambi Couch Page.
At a press conference, Ashland Chief David Marcelli said the woman was subsequently found at a home that was supposed to be unoccupied.
Police say Grate also confessed to killing a woman in Richland County where another body was found.
Stanley, 43, of Greenwich, leaves behind two sons, a granddaughter, her father and other relatives.
Authorities checked the Mansfield-area site Tuesday and found decomposed remains in a ravine behind the house.
When setting the bond at $1 million, Judge Ronald Forstoefhel also set the conditions that if Grate posts bond he is to have no contact with “Jane Doe”, the woman he is accused of kidnapping.
The woman, who has not been named by police, had been out walking with a man she would later identify as Shawn Grate.

Grate told the judge he previously worked at a grocery store, but now has no financial means or a permanent address and is not collecting any financial help from the state.
