[2] In 2000, Harrison's case appeared on the fifth season of the American television show Forensic Files in an episode titled "Material Evidence.
Harrison's companion described the abductor's van to have been a brown or dark red color with round windows on the sides, near the rear.
[6] Six days later her remains, which were in an advanced stage of decomposition, were discovered next to a shed, in the woods off Township Road 464 in Holmes County, just outside of Loudonville, Ohio.
A Budweiser towel, a bloody car seat box, a wad of Harrison's hair, gloves, a plaid shirt and jeans were all found in the vicinity of the dump site.
[4] The bag found wrapped around the lower half of Harrison's body was unique and was traced to a factory in Pioneer, Ohio.
Examination of sales records showed that 23 people in northern Ohio had purchased this type of car seat, but none owned a van that matched the one used during the abduction.
[4] The woman's head was shaved, she was shocked with a severed electrical cord, beaten and was bound to Buell's bed and raped.
She was able to escape, twelve hours later, fearing for her life, and ran to a nearby house and notified police after her attacker had left to go to work.
[2] He denied involvement and was never charged with the death of Tina Harmon, although dog hairs belonging to the remains of one found buried at his residence matched.
[13] A former journalist for the Cleveland Scene magazine, James Renner, has written in several of his works that Buell's nephew, Ralph Ross Jr., may have played a role in the murders, if not having been fully responsible.
