The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation said it executed a search warrant this morning on the Reer family’s property near Collins, Ohio, in connection with the case of Amanda Dean, who has been missing since 2017.

Frederick Reer was indicted earlier this year on the following charges related to this case:

• Murder
• Blatant abuse of a corpse
• Tampering with evidence

Dean, 36 at the time, was last heard from on July 11, 2017, in a text to her sister. Dean had texted her about plans to leave Reer, her live-in boyfriend.

His family filed a missing person’s report after not hearing from Dean; however, the event was canceled a day later because Huron County Sheriff Todd Corbin told the family they were “at a safe house.”

In late 2022, the family demanded answers from Corbin and the case was reopened.
