On February 2, 1991 deputies from the Hocking County Sheriff’s Office found the body of a white female over an embankment beside a pull-off on Lick Run Hill on State Route 278 South in Starr Township, about 1.5 miles from Nelsonville. The woman was in an early stage of decomposition and the coroner estimated she had been outdoors for about four weeks. She was identified as Patrice Braxton-Fedock of Columbus, Ohio.

The body was sent to the Franklin County Coroner’s Office for autopsy. Patrice had a criminal history of prostitution.

Anyone with information about Patrice or her death is asked to contact the Hocking County Sheriff’s Office.
