A grieving mother, whose daughter was kidnapped, hogtied and suffocated to death while being held in a dungeon hidden in her attacker's home for three days, has bulldozed the property in her late daughter's memory.
Sheila Vaculik, was granted James Worley's dilapidated property in a wrongful death suit after he was found guilty of her daughter 20-year-old Sierah Joughin's violent murder in Delta, Ohio in July 2016.
Sierah, a University of Toledo student, was out bike riding with her boyfriend of seven years, Josh Kolasinski, before she was snatched by her killer, then 57, and held in a secret room in a barn on his secluded farm surrounded by cornfields for three days.
Police found a torture chamber hidden behind hay bales inside the property. Restraints lined the blood-stained walls and handcuffs, zip ties, rope, weapons and a ski mask were found inside. Video recording equipment and a secret nanny cam was also discovered alongside Sierah's pink underwear, a mattress covered in her DNA and a freezer lined with blood-stained carpet.
When Sierah's body was eventually discovered in a shallow grave near Worley's home, it was determined she had choked to death on the large two inch by three inch plastic gag that Worley had used to silence her cries.
Earlier this month, grieving Ms Vaculik began the process of clearing the 'dark piece of land' where he daughter spent her terrifying final hours.
'There is a release of anger and frustration that is part of my healing process,' she told dailymail.com.
'Some have asked if it has brought closure; again, there really will never be closure when it comes to losing someone you love in such a thoughtless and violent way.'
Bulldozers started tearing down the dilapidated farmhouses where Worley lived alongside a disabled brother and their elderly mother and ran an engine repair shop.
Vaculik shared the videos online with supporters of her fight for justice, celebrating the moment that the monster's lair was going to be destroyed for good.
Worley, 57, is now awaiting execution for Sierah's killing and appealing his case
