Police in Ohio have charged a man and a woman with murder following Sunday’s discovery of the body of an 18-year-old woman who’d been shot in the head and dumped in the same woods where authorities found the remains of a 43-year-old woman last month.
No link has yet been established between the two cases, police say.
The teen’s remains were found in a wooded area of New Franklin,according to Cleveland.com, but authorities believe she was likely killed in Akron.
On Sept. 23, police found the charred corpse of 43-year-old Kerri Blondheim in the same patch of woods.
Blondheim had been beaten and strangled,reports FOX 8, before her lifeless body was laid on a mattress that was set on fire.
It was unclear Tuesday if either suspect had any sort of prior relationship with Guthrie.

Two others — William Eugene Alexander, 38, and Dylan Brown, 19 — are also facing charges stemming from their involvement in the case,according theAkron Beacon Journal.
PEOPLE could not determine if Alexander and Brown have legal counsel or had appeared before a judge to answer to the charges.
