In a shocking turn of events, the community of Jackson Township, Ohio, is reeling from the tragic death of Brittany Fuhr-Storms, a 28-year-old woman who was found dead in a plastic bin on Fort Anthony Road.
Local law enforcement responded swiftly to the scene after being alerted to a bad smell. Upon arrival, a police officer described the odour as "so bad" that he did not want to open the bin. Inside, they discovered the body of Brittany Fuhr-Storms.

Rothenbusch has been charged and is due in Middletown Municipal Court, while Sheppard's case has been moved to Butler County. Rothenbusch admitted to drug trafficking and stated that Brittany died under suspicious circumstances at his home. He also confessed to keeping her body in his home for around four days before it was disposed of.
