On the morning of July 3, 2024, a sanitation worker cleaning at Mother Goose Land Public Park in Canton, Ohio, made a horrifying discovery. Around 9 AM, what began as a routine task took a dark turn when they found human remains wrapped in plastic inside a trash bin. The worker immediately called 911, and investigators soon arrived. The victim’s face had been beaten so severely that it was unrecognizable. However, within hours, authorities identified the remains as 24-year-old Raychel Sheridan, who had been reported missing just the day before.
