Police found Sasso-Cleveland’s body in a dumpster Sunday in the 500 block of College Avenue, authorities said. Her family reported her missing to DeKalb police Saturday night after they hadn’t seen or heard from her since Thursday. Her cause of death was asphyxiation, the DeKalb County Coroner’s Office said Monday.
Timothy M. Doll, 29, a DeKalb man who just last month pleaded guilty to 2020 sex abuse charges involving a minor, was charged Monday with murder in Sasso-Cleveland’s death. He lived in a home adjacent to the dumpster where Sasso-Cleveland was found and where cellphone data marked the girl’s last known whereabouts Thursday night, police said.

Doll was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, concealment of a homicide, aggravated domestic battery, obstruction of justice, unlawful restraint and unlawful communication by a child sex offender.
If convicted, he could face up to 60 years in prison. Prosecutors said he could be eligible for an extended sentence because he’s a convicted sex offender.
According to DeKalb police, Sasso-Cleveland and Doll were in an improper dating relationship even though she was a minor. Police alleged that on the evening of May 4, Doll and the girl got into an argument. Doll allegedly pinned down Sasso-Cleveland and suffocated her with a pillow. She did not wake up, police said.
Doll allegedly discarded the girl’s body in a dumpster near his home that Thursday night, authorities said. Doll also allegedly removed her personal belongings from his apartment and threw her phone away in a garbage bin away from the house.

Suspect had history of sexual abuse of minors
Doll’s alleged roll in Sasso-Cleveland’s slaying aren’t the first time he’s been in trouble for crimes against minors.
At the time of the Sasso-Cleveland’s death, Doll recently was sentenced to 30 months probation after pleading guilty last month to charges of attempted child pornography and aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor, court records show.
Doll had been charged Jan. 11, 2020, with child pornography, aggravated criminal sex abuse and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. He faced up to seven years in prison on the child pornography and sex abuse charges. According to court records, Doll was picked up in January 2020 on a warrant after it was learned there was a video of him sexually abusing a girl between 13 and 17 years old.
