Cleveland Woman Charged in Boyfriend’s Murder After Body Found Wrapped in Sheet in River


A Cleveland woman has been charged in the murder of her boyfriend, whose body was discovered wrapped in a bed sheet and tied with rope in the Huron River months after he was reported missing.

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office announced that 32-year-old Dy’mond Vaden was arrested on July 21 in connection with the death of George Cox Jr., also 32. Cox had been missing since October 2024 and was officially reported missing by relatives on November 8, 2024.

According to Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley, Vaden and Cox had been living together in an apartment near Bosworth Road and Peony Avenue in Cleveland at the time of his disappearance. A welfare check by Cleveland Division of Police revealed a nearly empty apartment with traces of blood on the floor, later confirmed to be Cox’s.

Vaden had vacated the apartment by the time police arrived.

Nearly six months later, on May 15, 2025, two kayakers discovered Cox’s decomposing body in the Huron River in Erie County, wrapped in a bed sheet and secured with rope. The Erie County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene, and forensic analysis later confirmed the body was Cox’s.

Investigators tied the case to Vaden after matching the bed sheet used to wrap the body to linens found in the former shared apartment. Blood evidence and DNA found on clothing at Vaden’s new residence, along with cell phone records, further linked her to the crime.

When authorities arrested Vaden, she was living with Emmanuel McQueen Jr., 41, who was also charged with having a weapon under disability after a firearm was discovered in the home. Both Vaden and McQueen were legally prohibited from possessing firearms.

Vaden now faces multiple charges, including:

  • Two counts of murder
  • Two counts of felonious assault
  • Tampering with evidence
  • Gross abuse of a corpse
  • Weapons under disability

McQueen has been charged with one count of weapons under disability.

“George Cox Jr.’s family has waited for answers, and today they are one step closer to justice,” said Prosecutor O’Malley. “Fortunately for his family and the State of Ohio, CDP Homicide detectives are well-trained and smarter than Dy’mond Vaden thinks.”

Both suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues. A court date for Vaden’s arraignment has not yet been publicly announced.
