Sheridan’s brother, Jonathan Gillilan, has experienced a range of emotions since her death, including grief, anger and anxiety.

“It’s been hell and I’m back,” Gillilan said. “She’s still my sister. I loved her. I wanted to be there for her as much as possible.”

Family members told News 5 that Sheridan was generous and loved cats and sunflowers.

“People who knew her, and who I know, talked about how kind she was, how nice she was to be around, and how much she lit up a room every time she walked in.”

In early July, Sheridan didn’t show up for work. His concerned mother contacted the Stark County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators determined there were signs of the crime scene inside his apartment in Plain Township.

“Evidence of foul play was discovered. Detectives determined that Sheridan was murdered inside the apartment,” Sheriff George Maier said during a news conference in July.

However, she was not there. Sanitation workers later found his body in a trash can at Mother Goose Land Park in Canton.

Detectives said Goe beat Sheridan to death and then hid her remains. Goe was arrested at a homeless shelter.

Gillilan remains disgusted at the idea that anyone would be capable of such violence.

“The mind is an awful place, and for someone like that to really show no remorse after the fact, it’s disgusting,” he said.

Goe has pleaded not guilty to the murder. According to court records, he is represented by an attorney with the Stark County Public Defender’s Office.

Gillilan and other family members plan to attend the entire trial.

“I hope, as best we can, that over the next day, two, three, however long the trial lasts, it will be resolved quickly,” Gillilan said.

Court records show Goe had active arrest warrants prior to the homicide, including for domestic violence and criminal endangerment charges involving Sheridan.

According to records, Goe punched holes in the victim’s tires and threatened to cause serious harm.

Family and friends believe Sheridan became trapped in a cycle of domestic violence.

“I think every one of our conversations ended with you needing to get away from him and she knew that,” family friend Holly Clapsaddle told News 5 over the summer.

As Gillilan prepares to face a difficult trial, she hopes there will be justice for her sister.

“She didn’t deserve anything like what she got.”
