HORRIFYING details have been revealed in the case of Rebecca Auborn, an Ohio woman accused of causing the deaths of four men in what investigators believe could be serial killings.
Auborn, 33, is accused of robbing and drugging at least four men that she reportedly met for sex throughout several months in 2023.
The drug used was fentanyl and led to fatal overdoses on Jan. 15, April 1, April 13, and June 17, according to a news release on Wednesday from the Ohio Attorney General’s office.
Only the very first person connected to Auborn from an altercation on December 13, 2022, survived after allegedly being drugged and robbed by her.
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Columbus Division of Police Chief Elaine Bryant confirmed Auborn’s suspected connection to the deaths and methods of drugging after sex in an announcement.
“Don’t buy sex in Ohio – it ruins lives and could cost you yours,” Yost noted.
Investigators also suspect “that additional victims may exist,” claiming that what they discovered could become a serial killer case, per NBC News.
The attorney general’s office added in the news release that detectives “are continuing their investigation with a concentration on Auborn’s activities between December 2022 and August 2023.”
Auborn appeared in court on Wednesday in Franklin County and was indicted by a grand jury.
Chief Bryant explained an extensive investigation by Columbus police along with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) provided substantial evidence in the case that ultimately led to the indictment.
“These indictments are a result of our close collaboration with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation,” she noted.

“The Columbus Division of Police remains dedicated to ensuring justice for all victims and their families affected by the actions of a single individual.”
Although it was The Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force that first received word that someone was allegedly meeting men for sex and drugging them in order to steal personal items, according to the release.
Their investigation led them to make a connection to Auborn, who “had previously been charged on Sept. 11 with aggravated robbery, felonious assault, murder, corruption of another with drugs, trafficking in drugs, and the illegal manufacture of drugs.”
Auborn had been behind bars in the Franklin County Corrections Center since that time but now will have an arraignment hearing on October 30.
The 33-year-old’s indictment includes four counts of murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
It also includes five counts of felonious assault, five counts of corrupting another with drugs, five counts of aggravated robbery, one count of tampering with evidence, and four counts of drug trafficking.
The Ohio Attorney General’s office stressed that the investigation continues and re-emphasized that Auborn has yet to be proven guilty of any wrongdoing.
“Indictments merely contain allegations; defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law,” the release read.
The U.S. Sun attempted to locate Auborn’s defense attorney for comment on the accusations — but court records indicate that she currently does not have a lawyer appointed to represent her, per The Columbus Dispatch.
Authorities also stressed that those with any information on the case call the appropriate personnel.
“Anyone with information related to overdose deaths that occurred during those time periods and near those locations should contact the Columbus Division of Police homicide tip line at 614-645-2228.”
