The abduction occurred at the intersection of Flatrock Drive and E. Jackson Street. Eagleson\u2019s body was found the next day in a wooded area off Township Road 176, approximately eight miles northeast of the abduction site. She had been sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/thevwindependent.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Suspect-Sketch-Side-by-Side.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171122\"\/><figcaption>This is the composite sketch of the suspect in the 1960 rape-slaying of Paulding County resident Nancy Eagleson.

I am hopeful this sketch will resonate with someone and will contact my office with their tip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A forensic artist with Yost\u2019s Bureau of Criminal Investigation recently completed a composite sketch with Sheryl\u2019s help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of the abduction, Sheryl reported that the suspect was an adult white male of a medium build. She remembered the suspect wearing \u201cchurch clothes\u201d consisting of a tie, overcoat and fedora. He was wearing black horn-rimmed glasses and had rosy cheeks. She described the suspect\u2019s vehicle as a dark sedan with a \u201cwinged back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forensic artist created two composite sketches \u2013 the first one without facial features, because Sheryl could not remember the details, and the second with generic features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with information is asked to call the Paulding County Sheriff\u2019s Office at 419.399.3791.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VW independent staff\/submitted information PAULDING &#8212; Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Paulding County Sheriff Jason K.
