Officers responded and ran the vehicle description, which came up stolen out of Clark County. They drove around the area and found Dillon walking nearby, who they were able to identify by a scar after he gave them a false name, according to authorities. Dillon then admitted to who he was.
Investigators with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and agents with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation will be traveled to Delavan, Wisconsin this morning to continue the investigation. Delevan is located approximately 50 miles Southwest of Milwaukee. Police are looking for the truck's license plate and cab, which had been removed from the vehicle.
Vicky Burks was found dead Wednesday in her home at 5904 Middle Urbana Road, and the Clark County Coroner's Office has ruled the death a homicide, according to court documents filed Thursday.
Dillon's stepfather, Martin Burks, told investigators that he and his wife got into an argument with Dillon Tuesday about the truck. Dillon was told not to take the vehicle from the home and Martin Burks confiscated the keys. Burks arrived home from work around 11:30 a.m. for lunch, and Dillon told him a story as to where Vicky Burks was. When Burks returned from work at 3:30 p.m. and noticed that Dillon and his wife were missing from the home, he called deputies, who arrived and found the woman's body during a thorough search of the house.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office performed the autopsy Thursday, which indicated Burks died from blunt force trauma to the head. The pathologist didn’t indicate a possible weapon.
As of Friday, Dillon has been charged with felony theft.
Dillon has an extensive criminal record that includes drug charges, Kelly said, noting, “He has a previous history of violence” that includes a domestic violence charge involving his stepfather in June 2009 and one involving his mother in May 2006.
Kelly gave no details about where in the house the woman was found. “When [the husband] left for work, she was alive,” Kelly said.
