Police in Canton asked Sylvania Township police last Friday to check on the safety of a woman who lives in the 7400 block of Timbers Edge Boulevard.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Sylvania Township police believe a missing woman has been killed.

On Friday, police said Nicole Jones is the victim of a homicide. They also confirmed Jones' body has not been found. 

According to a news release, a juvenile was charged with Aggravated Murder and Tampering with Evidence on Saturday. 

Police said It's likely additional charges will be filed against others at a later date.

Jones is the mother of 33-year-old Jonathan Jones, who was recently arrested in Mexico for kidnapping a 17-year-old girl from Canton, Ohio. He was wanted for charges out of Wood County for pandering obscene material and child endangerment.
