Hocking County prosecutors say they will try two teens as adults in connection with the death in Hocking Hills of a Chillicothe woman. 

Victoria Schafer died on Labor Day near Old Man's Cave when 16-year-olds Jaden Churchheus and Jordan Buckley allegedly pushed a large portion of a tree off a cliff, causing it to crush her. The two are now charged with murder, felonious assault and involuntary manslaughter.
