NORWALK — There are just three possibilities for how Katelynn Shepard’s pickup landed in a ravine off Townline Road 187 and none of them point to it being an accident, according to a crash reconstruction expert hired by a Cleveland news team.

Huron County Prosecutor Jim Sitterly refuses to give any assessment of the new crash report or other new evidence turned over to the sheriff and his office related to the the 21-year-old corrections officer’s death in 2018.

Sitterly and Sheriff Todd Corbin both want to keep her death classified as an accident—sort of—and neither man will respond to questions about how she died, whether they are continuing to investigate and whether they will ask for additional expert assistance.
