Authorities have charged 57-year-old James Worley with aggravated murder and abduction in the death of Joughin, a 20-year-old University of Toledo student.
She disappeared a week ago while riding her bicycle.
Worley’s attorney declined to comment Thursday.
Worley was convicted of abducting a woman in 1990 near Toledo and spent three years in prison. Since his arrest Friday, investigators have been looking into the possibility of additional victims.
