James Dean Worley, 57, is charged with aggravated murder and abduction in the death of Sierah Joughin, 20.
The University of Toledo student went missing on July 19, 2016, while riding her purple bicycle in rural Fulton County, west of Toledo.
For a few hours that evening, her boyfriend exchanged text messages with her before she suddenly went quiet, according to search warrants from the Fulton County Sheriff.
He tried to reach her repeatedly that night, but all his calls went to voice mail.
Sierah's body was found three days later in a shallow grave in a cornfield 12 miles from the suspect's home.
