Frederick Reer pleads guilty to charges connected with Amanda Dean's death in Huron County

Описание: Just weeks before his trial was scheduled to begin in Huron County, 42-year-old Frederick Reer has now pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the death and disappearance of his girlfriend, Amanda Dean.

Reer, of Townsend Township, pleaded guilty to the following charges Monday:

-Involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony
-Two counts of tampering with evidence, third-degree felonies
-Gross abuse of a corpse, a fifth-degree felony

“If the court were to impose all of those sentences consecutively to each other that could be as much as 18 years in prison," explained the judge inside the court room on Monday.

The judge also asked Reer, "Do you understand that your plea of guilty is a complete admission of your guilt?”

Reer responded, "Yes, sir."

Reer was indicted on Feb. 9, 2024 after an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General’s Office.

“Proving a homicide without a body is the ultimate test of investigative and legal skill,” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said in a press release. “I’m proud of our team for taking on such a complex case and securing justice for Amanda and her loved ones.”
