MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — The Knox County sheriff announced on Monday that a special tip line was established for information about three people who have been missing since last week.
Sheriff David Barber said that authorities want to remain optimistic that Tina Herrmann, 32; her son, Kody, 11; and a friend, Stephanie Sprang, 41, are alive.
Barber added that "there is a possibility" that the three were killed.
His comments were made one day after a 13-year-old girl who was also missing was found bound and gagged in the basement of a Mount Vernon home.
Matthew Hoffman, 30, was arrested and charged with Sarah Maynard's kidnapping. The 13-year-old was removed from Hoffman's home after authorities swarmed the location on Sunday morning.
Barber said that Sarah Maynard was released from a hospital and was at home with family members.
Investigators tracked Hoffman down with the help of a receipt for a tarp that was purchased at a Walmart store in Mount Vernon, 10TV News reported.
Crime scene investigators removed bags of evidence from nearby Foundation Park on Monday, located near Hoffman's home.
Police apparently found items in the park and gathered evidence that filled a two-foot bag, 10TV's Tino Ramos reported.
