6:45 p.m.
Investigators say in court documents that an Ohio man charged with abducting and killing a college student "fits the profile of a serial offender."
Search warrants released Thursday indicate investigators are looking into whether James Worley may have kept an unknown number of victims inside a hidden room in his barn.
The documents say hay bales concealed the hidden room that held restraints and a carpet-lined freezer on the property where he lives west of Toledo.
Authorities have charged the 57-year-old Worley with aggravated murder and abduction in the death of 20-year-old University of Toledo student Sierah Joughin (JAW'-gihn).
She disappeared last week while riding her bicycle.
Worley's attorney declined to comment Thursday.
Worley was convicted of abducting a woman in 1990 near Toledo and spent three years in prison.
