LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — An Illinois man has pleaded not guilty to charges that he kidnapped and killed a Kentucky woman who was found dead in a vehicle along a highway in southwest Ohio.
The Warren County prosecutor says attorneys for Terry Froman, of Brookport, Illinois, on Monday entered not-guilty pleas for him to charges of aggravated murder, kidnapping and firearms discharge. The 41-year-oldFroman is being held without bond.
Authorities say he killed his estranged girlfriend’s 17-year-old son in Kentucky, then kidnapped and killed her before being arrested Sept. 12 north of Cincinnati. Ohio authorities said they heard gunshots as they approached Froman’s stopped vehicle along Interstate 75.
They said Froman had a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and 34-year-old Kim Thomas was dead inside the vehicle.
Froman also is charged with murder and kidnapping in Kentucky.
