With suspect dead, officials looking for answers

Now that the suspect in Hannah Fischer’s murder has been found dead, Paulding Police and Sheriff are working together to figure out if Frank Tracy, Jr. was involved in her murder or was also a victim. Tracy’s body was found last Tuesday covered by a blanket in Rochester Cemetery near Cecil with a single gunshot wound to the head. The coroner says the body had been there for several weeks. Local authorities had called in the U.S. Marshals to help find Tracy and they posted a $5,000 reward for info leading to his arrest. So far, Sheriff Jason Landers says his death doesn’t appear to be related to the death of an Indiana woman found in Paulding County a week ago. Anyone with info about any of the deaths is urged to contact the sheriff’s office, where anonymous tips can be left on the website pauldingOHsheriff.com.
