‘Prostitute’ found naked, raped, and burned before being left for dead on the side of the road

A woman was found naked and burned with a  rope wrapped around her neck after she was raped and tortured before being left  for dead at the side of a rural Ohio road.

Celeste Fronsman was found by a passerby  around 8.30am on Sunday who immediately called police after spotting the moaning  woman.

‘I have a woman right here, she’s burned  severely, she’s been raped and she’s been beat up,’ the man told the 911  operator.

She was rushed to Ohio State University  Wexner Medical Center where she later died.

Local CBS affiliate WBNS reported that the investigation is  still underway but police believe that there was a definite motive behind the  attack.

‘This was not a random act,’ Muskinngum  County Sheriff Matt Lutz said at a news conference addressing the case.

‘There was a vehicle that we were looking for  that interested us. We found that last night in the Canton area. There are some  people of interest to us that we are currently looking for.’

The names of the potential suspects or the  make of their car have not been publicly released.

Police records received by MailOnline show  that Ms Fronsman had an extensive criminal history, including a rap sheet with  25 arrests over the past nine years.

Since 2003, she was arrested for a plethora  of crimes including prostitution, drug possession and five counts of domestic  violence.
