Ohio Cold Case Solved 30 Years Later: Man Convicted in 1995 Double Murder

Scott Hickman was convicted after a renewed investigation beginning in 2019 uncovered evidence in a 1995 double murder cold case in Palmer Township, Ohio.

  • A Washington County jury convicted 53-year-old Scott Hickman of murdering Kimberly Fulton and her 17-month-old son Daniel in 1995.
  • In 2019, law enforcement agencies reopened the long-unsolved case, which ultimately resulted in Hickman being charged in October 2021 following collaborative efforts by local and state investigators.
  • On March 5, 1995, the victims' remains were discovered inside a charred trailer in Palmer Township, and autopsy results showed they had died prior to the fire.
  • Attorney General Dave Yost highlighted that for nearly 30 years, the horrific killings remained unresolved, causing the family to long for justice, and commended the persistent efforts of the investigative team.
  • Hickman is scheduled to be sentenced on October 14, marking a significant resolution for a case that went cold for 30 years.
