CANTON, Ohio — A Stark County grand jury has indicted Daniel Mattay for the murder Ryan Godbey , a Canton drag performer whose "suspicious" disappearance in June led to an area-wide search that quickly turned into a homicide investigation.

Mattay, a 34-year-old Massillon native, was first arrested in July for allegedly killing Godbey. On Wednesday, grand jurors charged him with the following crimes:

Murder (special felony)

Assault (second-degree felony)

Strangulation (second-degree felony)

Escape (second-degree felony)

Domestic violence (third degree felony)

Tampering with evidence (third-degree felony)

Gross abuse of a corpse (fifth-degree felony)

Mattay is currently being held in the Stark County Jail on what is now a $3 million bond. He is due to be arraigned on Friday.
