LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, OH. (THECOUNT) – West Chester police arrested and charged Michael Strouse, 29, with the murder of Ellen Weik, 23, early Saturday morning.

Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser confirmed Sunday the body found in Liberty Township Friday is the missing West Chester woman.

“In my opinion, it is her,” he said. “I am 100 percent certain. I want this guy charged. I want him off the streets.” He said her body has yet to be positively identified by the county coroner.

Gmoser commended West Chester police for staying quiet about the case while it remains under investigation and for conducting such an outstanding investigation with other authorities including the FBI. source

The Butler County Coroner’s Office is expected to release its official findings on the identity of the person found deceased sometime in the next few days.
