Arrest made in 1995 homicides of Ohio woman and her 17-month-old son

MARIETTA – A man has been indicted and arrested for the 1995 homicides of Kimberly Fulton and her 17-month-old son, Daniel, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Washington County Sheriff Larry R. Mincks Sr. announced Monday.

Scott Hickman, 49, of Waterford, was indicted by a Washington County grand jury on four counts of aggravated murder and two counts of murder.

On March 5, 1995, Fulton, 28, and her son were found deceased inside their home. Through an exhumation and further autopsy, investigators learned that the two had died before a fire was set at the scene.

The investigation had gone cold; however in 2019, the Cold Case Unit of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office reopened the case.

“This indictment was the result of hard work from the attorneys of the Special Prosecutions Section of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and detectives from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit,” Sheriff Minicks said. “It is the first step towards a successful conclusion of this investigation. The investigation remains ongoing.”

The case is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Section of the Attorney General’s Office.
