MANSFIELD — The body of a missing 16-year-old Mansfield teenager has been found in Harrison County in eastern Ohio.
Mansfield police Chief Jason Bammann said Tuesday morning they were notified Monday by Harrison County authorities that a body fitting the description of Trentin Isaac had been found in a secluded area.
He said the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s Office confirmed the identity Monday evening.
Isaac had been missing since Nov. 12, according to police.
“It is being investigated in Harrison County as a suspicious death,” Bammann said. “We don’t have a lot more to go on at this point. They are processing that scene down there.”
A call seeking information was left with detectives with the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday morning. Bammann said the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was also assisting with the investigation.
Harrison County, a rural area with a population of less than 15,000, is about a two-hour drive from Mansfield.
“The family and the community can be assured that the division will work diligently to not only answer these questions, but also bring justice to the individuals who committed this act,” Bammann said.
“We continue to seek the public’s assistance with any information about this case. Again, detectives investigating the case have received numerous unverified tips and rumors concerning videos and social media posts, but no such evidence has been submitted to Mansfield police,” the chief said.
He urged anyone with information regarding potential videos, photographs, or social media content related to Trentin or the circumstances of his disappearance to come forward immediately.
Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to contact Mansfield police Det. Ronee Swisher at 419-755-9432.
A GoFund me campaign has been launched to help pay for Issac’s funeral expenses.
