Michael Fogt, 40, of Hillsboro, is charged with murder in the November 2003 slaying of Cynthia Pickens, 39, of Hillsboro. Highland County sheriff's investigators found Pickens' body on 3/15/2005 about a mile outside Hillsboro while searching for the body of Shane Neuhaus, who has been missing since September, 2003. Highland County Sheriff Ronald Ward confirmed that investigators had hoped to find possible fragments of the clothing Neuhaus was last seen wearing when they searched the auto-body shop. They also sought a hammer, brass knuckles and clothing belonging to Fogt, the former owner of the auto-body shop and Neuhaus' one-time boss. Neuhaus is still missing, but Shawn A. Deardoff, also an employee of Fogt's, was arraigned on a felonious-assault charge, accused of beating Neuhaus on the last day anyone remembers seeing him.

Second body found buried in barrel
Fogt expected to face murder charges

By JEFF GILLILAND
Assistant Editor

The body of a second apparent murder victim was uncovered Thursday at 643 S. West St. in Hillsboro.

Highland County Sheriff Ron Ward said he believed the victim, who was buried in a 55-gallon barrel under several inches of concrete alongside a driveway at the residence, is believed to be an adult female who was not a Highland County resident.

Ward said he believes the woman was murdered at a different location in 1998 and later buried where she was found.

The recovery came two days after the body of Cynthia A. Pickens, 40, of the Rocky Fork Lake area, was found buried in a shallow grave inside a garage less than a mile east of Hillsboro off U.S. Route 50. Ward said he believes Pickens was also murdered elsewhere.

The two incidents are believed to be related, Ward said.

The sheriff said Michael Fogt, 40, of Hillsboro, is the primary suspect in both cases. In fact, Ward said information Fogt gave investigators led them to the discovery of the second body.

Fogt was already incarcerated at the Highland County Justice Center when investigators developed information from him that led them to the second body. Fogt was in jail on unrelated charges of menacing by stalking and theft, Ward said.

Ward said he expected charges on one count each of murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence to be filed against Fogt either Thursday night or Friday morning. Those charges would be in connection with the discovery of Pickens's body.

The second victim is not believed to be one of three persons, including Pickens, who are listed as missing persons on the sheriff's office Web site.

The other two missing persons are Shane Neuhaus, 36, of Highland County; and Indica Dawn Dunseith, 16, of the Leesburg area. Ward said Dunseith is a runaway.

"Another male is missing in this county, but I'm not going to say he's related to this case," Ward said. "Neuhaus was at least an acquaintance of Mr. Fogt."

So could another body still be left to be found?

"We're still interviewing (Fogt) and it's possible," Ward said. "I'm not going to rule anything out."

Ward said Pickens was also an acquaintance of Fogt and that at one time he believed they had a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

The sheriff said he believes he knows the identity of the second victim, and where she was murdered, but he is waiting on confirmation from the Montgomery County Coroner before making her identity public.

The sheriff said that based on the ongoing investigation, he does not believe there is any connection between the victim found Thursday and former Blanchester resident Carrie Culberson, who has been missing since 1996.

Michael Fogt's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Fogt, live where the second victim was recovered Thursday at the extreme south end of South West Street. Ward said Mr. and Mrs. Fogt were at the residence when officers served a search warrant at 3 p.m. Thursday. He said their role in the case is not clear at the present time.

"We will be investigating in the coming days their knowledge of the situation," Ward said. "We're still early in this investigation and we still have a lot of footwork and investigative work to be done."

Numerous law enforcement officials worked about two hours Thursday removing concrete and dirt before a barrel containing the victim was uncovered.

"For a victim that's been dead several years, I'd say (the body) was fairly well preserved," Ward said. "But you've got to figure she was in an airtight barrel."

So, is it possible that Hillsboro had a serial killer roaming among the community for several years, Ward was asked Thursday.

"I'm not going to extend myself to that point," Ward said. "We'll let the professionals take care of that."
