Sean Goe charged with murder in death of Raychel Sheridan

CANTON , Ohio (WJW) — A man suspected in the death of his girlfriend, 24-year-old Raychel Sheridan, has now been formally charged with murder.

Sean J. Goe, 26, of Plain Township , faces felony counts of murder, gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, as well as a misdemeanor count of domestic violence according to a news release from the Stark County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheridan was reported missing on Tuesday, after sheriff’s deputies went to her Orchard Dale Drive Northwest apartment for a welfare check. Inside they found evidence of foul play, authorities previously said.

Deputies found Sheridan’s live-in boyfriend, Goe, driving her SUV on Guilford Avenue Northwest and pulled him over, according to the release. Goe then fled on foot.

State and local authorities launched “extensive search efforts” by ground and air and finally arrested Goe in the early hours of Wednesday, July 3, at a homeless shelter, according to the release.

After police executed a search warrant at Sheridan’s home and interviewed Goe, they determined he murdered her inside the apartment.

City sanitation workers found her body in a park on the city’s southwest side later that morning.

Goe is now jailed on a $1 million bond, and is due for arraignment on Tuesday, July 9, according to court records.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the investigation is asked to call deputies at 330-430-3800, or use the sheriff’s office’s mobile app, found on any smartphone’s app store by searching “Stark Sheriff Ohio.”
