The 911 call was made by a Canton Parks Department employee after he saw the body while dumping trash at Mother Goose Land in the 400 block of Schroyer Ave. SW had found.

Stark County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Sheridan and Goe’s home in the 4100 block of Orchard Dale Drive NW around 12:30 a.m. July 2 after Sheridan’s mother requested a welfare check.

Sheriff Maier said the apartment door was open and no one was inside, but because the crime scene was “suspicious,” officers requested a search warrant.

While waiting for the search warrant, officers said they saw a maroon Jeep Liberty, believed to be registered to Sheridan, driving on Guilford Ave NW.

The driver, identified as Goe, fled on foot into a dense wooded area after being stopped, officials said.

After several hours of searching, Goe was arrested early the next morning.

Deputies said Goe also had active warrants for burglary, grand larceny of a firearm and domestic violence.

According to court documents, Goe allegedly stole a handgun from a North Canton residence in April and May, physically threatened Sheridan and cut holes in her tires.
