COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has identified the woman whose body was found burning in Urbancrest in the southwest part of the county in June.

On June 14 around 11 p.m., deputies were called to a wooded area off of Lincoln Road. The Jackson Township Fire Department had responded to the location on a report of a possible brush fire.

When firefighters arrived, they found the remains that had been set on fire.

The Franklin County Coroner’s Office identified the woman as 23-year-old Jenay Crawley. The coroner's office determined Crawley died by strangulation and ruled her death a homicide. 

According to Chief Deputy Rick Minerd, it is believed that Crawley died in a different area than where she was found.

The sheriff’s office said an investigation is ongoing. No suspects have been charged so far.

If anyone has information, they are encouraged to contact the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau at 614-525-3351.
