Ashland police said Wednesday that one of the bodies was that of Stacey Stanley, who'd been reported missing from Huron County. The police statement says the coroner hasn't determined her cause of death or identified the second body.
Police went to the site Tuesday to follow up on a woman's report that she was held captive. They found the woman, a 40-year-old male suspect and two bodies.
Stanley's sister had told the Mansfield News Journal the 43-year-old had been missing since Thursday and was last seen at an Ashland gas station when she got a flat tire.

The Mansfield News Journal says police went to an Ashland home after the woman called authorities Tuesday. They found the remains of two people at the supposedly vacant property.
The suspect, 40-year-old Shawn Grate, remained jailed Wednesday on an abduction charge. It wasn't immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
Richland County's prosecutor tells the News Journal that Grate admitted he had killed a woman in June at a different property near Mansfield. On Tuesday, investigators checked it and found a body in a wooded ravine behind that house, which was destroyed by fire.
