Attorney: Hailey Buzbee's remains found Sunday in Perry County, Ohio

  • On Feb. 1, Sam Shamansky said Tyler Thomas led the FBI to a body in Perry County believed to be 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee.
  • Police traced a vehicle in Buzbee's neighborhood to Thomas and say the two met via online gaming, prompting Jan. 21 warrants that found evidence linking her to his home and a Hocking County rental.
  • Court records and device searches show Thomas's phone contained sexualized photos of Buzbee in cached memory and deleted video files, leading to charges in Franklin County.
  • Thomas appeared at a Feb. 2 arraignment in Franklin County Municipal Court, where Judge Jarrod Skinner maintained a $1.5 million bond, restricted Internet access and unsupervised visits with minors, and prosecutors expect homicide charges from Hocking County.
  • Investigators say evidence suggests Buzbee died shortly after her Jan. 5 disappearance at a Hocking County rental, with Shamansky emphasizing `the collective work...to bring much needed closure to the Buzbee family`.
