Guilty verdict in 30-year-old murder trial

Scott Hickman, 53, was found guilty on four counts of aggravated murder and two counts of murder for the 1995 deaths of Kimberly Fulton, 28, and her 17-month-old son Daniel Fulton on Wednesday.

The verdict was delivered after two weeks of trial before Washington County Common Pleas Judge Mark Kerenyi with dozens of witnesses testifying.

The bodies of Fulton and her son were discovered in March 1995 in a burned mobile home in Palmer Township. Hickman had been arrested in 1995 but was released due to a lack of evidence. The investigation was reopened in 2019 by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office’s Cold Case Unit, and Hickman was arrested and indicted in 2021.

Hickman is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 14.
