Murder of Sierah Joughin

Uncommon card · No. 81311

Sierah Catherine Joughin (February 11, 1996 – July 22, 2016) was an American woman who was abducted and murdered in Delta, Ohio. She disappeared on July 19, 2016, and was found dead three days later. Her assailant, James Dean Worley, was convicted and sentenced to death for her murder and over 20 years in prison for kidnapping, assault, and other related charges. Worley had been previously convicted and imprisoned for the assault and attempted kidnapping of another woman in 1990 under similar circumstances but was released after three years and was not listed in any state or federal offender database at the time of Joughin's murder. Consequently, the killing prompted the creation of Ohio Senate Bill 231 ("Sierah's Law"), a statute that provides for a searchable database of felons living in the state, who are convicted of specific violent offenses. The statute was signed into law in December 2018.
