PAULDING COUNTY, Ohio. (WOWO): An arrest warrant has been issued in the case of two people who were found dead in Paulding County.

Paulding County Sheriff Jason Landers says Bradley Gillespie, 42, of Defiance is in custody at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio in Defiance County on unrelated charges.

A warrant was issued for his arrest Friday after investigators made breaks in the murder cases of Hannah Fischer and Frank Tracy Junior in recent days. Landers says witnesses stepped forward, officers believe they have the murder weapon, and evidence was recovered from the vehicle found in Huntington.

It’s believed Fischer and Tracy were murdered in that vehicle.

Landers reiterated in a press release Friday that the murder case of Wilma Schwartz is not believed to be connected to the Fischer and Tracy murders.
