Johanna Crawford

Johanna "Johey" Crawford, a 66-year-old White female, was a dedicated pediatric nurse and a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate in her community of Oregon, Ohio. She had legal custody of her 9-year-old granddaughter and was caring for the child in her home.

The peace of that home was shattered on the night of December 16, 2021. At approximately 10:45 p.m., police responded to a shots-fired call at Johanna's residence on the 3100 block of Hazelton. Inside, they discovered Johanna in the living room, deceased from a gunshot wound.

The investigation revealed that after the shooting, the girl's non-custodial father, Malcolm Fisher, had entered her bedroom and abducted her. Fisher fled with his daughter to a location in Toledo. Authorities were later able to recover the child safely and without any physical injuries.

Malcolm Fisher was arrested and charged with aggravated murder and kidnapping in connection with the events in Oregon, as well as separate charges of assault and theft in Toledo. At his initial court appearance on December 17, 2021, a judge set his bond at $500,000. The case concluded when Malcolm Fisher pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
