Ohio police call murder case 'bizarre'
By Holly Samuels, WDTN
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ohio (WDTN) - Hand-written pages list personal items officers seized from 22-year-old Charlie Myers' Columbus apartment. Montgomery County deputies say Myers is their main suspect in the January 2 homicide of 29-year-old Jennifer Nelson of 80 Redder Avenue in Harrison Township, and the abduction of her four-year-old son William.
"This is a bizarre case, probably the worst I've seen," said Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer. "There are so many twists in this case."
Court documents show that inside Myers' apartment on McMillen Avenue in Columbus, police found a laptop computer believed to be stolen from Nelson's apartment at the time of the killing, a shotgun, an article of clothing with blood on it and "a note with directions to the victim's house."
"He obviously knew where he was going. We don't know what the motive was. There are several possibilities on a motive," said Plummer.
The documents also reveal how officers were drawn to Myers. According to court papers, Nelson's cell phone, which was stolen from her home at the time of the homicide, was used to call Myers' cell phone two days after the killing. Plummer says Myers did not act surprised when detectives and federal agents came knocking on his door.
"He wasn't real remorseful he was calm he cooperated with us kinda unusual," Plummer said.
The documents also describe the scene of the brutal attack. In them, it says deputies "... entered the residence and located a white female covered up, lying in a pool of blood." Deputies say Nelson was shot to death, but sources tell 2News that she also suffered defensive wounds, and fought back with a knife, cutting her attacker.
More information is also coming out about the suspect. According to his MySpace page, Myers is severely hard of hearing and attended the Ohio School for the Deaf. School officials confirmed that Myers attended the Columbus school off and on from 2001 to 2004, but did not graduate from there.
Montgomery County deputies will meet with prosecutors Tuesday. They're expected to file about five charges. Among them, aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and kidnapping.
