Stark Man, Woman Indicted in Tuscarawas in Death of Canton-Area Mom

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – A session of the Tuscarawas County grand jury has indicted a man and woman from Stark County.

They are accused of dumping the body of a Canton-area mother of two in Sandy Township in Tuscarawas County last September.

38-year-old Victor McCoy of Canton and 36-year-old Ashlie Morris of Massillon face ‘abuse of a corpse’ charges.

Sheriff’s investigators there believe 27-year-old Katie Ann Fuller died at Morris’s home, perhaps of an overdose according to Stark County investigators.

There was no indication of trauma.

Her remains were found by a hunter along North Orchard Road last November.

Morris was placed under arrest.

McCoy is doing prison time on an unrelated domestic violence conviction.
