Teacher Accused in Missing Teen Case | Dayton News

A former Ohio teacher, 48-year-old Jobe Binkley, faces misdemeanor charges for allegedly harboring a missing 16-year-old girl who vanished in December 2025 after leaving a Columbus facility. U.S. Marshals raided his Springfield home, where he reportedly admitted the teen was inside — despite prior visits where he denied her presence. The girl’s family and police have been searching for months. Binkley was placed on leave in January 2025 for tech policy violations and fired the next month — without knowing about the missing teen case. Authorities are still investigating whether he was ever her teacher or how they knew each other. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
