A Toledo man who was released on parole in January after spending 46 years in prison for aggravated murder has since gone missing twice, adding to the tally of more than 2,000 Ohio parolees whose whereabouts are unknown.

The post detailed concerns for his safety, noting Morris suffers from Alzheimer’s and walks with a limp.
Woman gets 30 years for deliberate car wreck that killed 2
A Lucas County judge sentenced an East Toledo woman who admitted to ramming her car into another in South Toledo, killing two of the other car’s occupants and injuring a third, to 30 years in prison Thursday. Judge Lori Olender said before sentencing Jasmine Pitts, 34, of the 400 block of Clark Street, that while the word “accident” commonly applies to all manner of traffic crashes, “this was not an accident by any means.” It may not have been Pitts’ intent to kill the victims, Judge Olender said, but the collision itself was deliberate — investigators estimated an impact speed of 80 mph. “There’s really not any words because this is so terrible,” the judge later said before remarking that resolving the case with a plea relieved the victims’ families from having to go through a trial and watching a video recording of the collision.
