An Ohio "serial killer" pleaded guilty to four counts of murder and one count of felonious assault on Friday, Dec. 19.
Rebecca Auborn of Columbus, Ohio, entered her plea in Franklin County Common Pleas Court, according to court records seen by PEOPLE. Auborn, 36, is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 20, 2026, according to a
press release from the Ohio Attorney General's Office.
“Today’s plea closes a tough case," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said in a press release. "An overwhelming amount of convincing evidence and an airtight investigation conducted by BCI and Columbus Police left no doubt that a conviction was forthcoming. When law enforcement works together, there’s hope for families to secure justice."
Auborn was meeting men for sex in northeast Columbus, Ohio, then dosing them with drugs with the intent to rob them, the Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, established under Yost’s Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission, found.
