FOR YEARS, MIKE AND I FIRST HEARD THE NAME PAUL HICKS WHEN THE CLERMONT COUNTY SHERIFF바카라 게임 웹사이트S OFFICE RELEASED THIS VIDEO TO US IN 2019. IT WAS AFTER HE WAS INDICTED ON ARSON AND PERJURY CHARGES. AND IF THIS FOOTAGE RIGHT HERE IS NOT WILD ENOUGH, WHAT I UNCOVERED NEXT WAS EVEN MORE DISTURBING. THE DEEPER I DUG INTO THE INVESTIGATION AND INTO HICKS PAST, THE MORE TWISTED THE STORY BECAME. AND NOW HICKS HAS BEEN TIED TO A COLD CASE. HOMICIDE IN 2015. FLAMES TORE THROUGH THIS GOSHEN HOME. SECURITY CAMERAS DOCUMENTED THE FIRST BLAST, FOLLOWED BY FIRE RACING FROM THE KITCHEN INTO THE LIVING ROOM. 20 MINUTES EARLIER, CAMERAS ALSO CAPTURED TWO PEOPLE ENTERING THE HOME ON STUMPY LANE WITH GAS CANS, REMOVING TVS AND DOUSING THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE.

HE WANTED TO HURT ME, TO TAKE MY SON, BECAUSE I WOULDN바카라 게임 웹사이트T. I LEFT HIM. AND THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HURT ME WOULD BE TO PUT ME IN PRISON AND TAKE MY SON. AND HE WANTED INSURANCE MONEY. INVESTIGATORS SAID ALMOST FOUR YEARS AFTER THE FIRE, HICKS WAS INDICTED ON ARSON, PERJURY AND INSURANCE FRAUD CHARGES. THE CASE, THOUGH, WAS MET WITH DELAY AFTER DELAY. A CHANGE IN JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, A PANDEMIC. ALL BUT THE MISDEMEANOR FRAUD COUNT WAS DISMISSED IN A PLEA DEAL. HICKS RETURNED TO NORTHERN OHIO, WHERE HE WAS FROM, AND WHERE A DARK CLOUD FROM HIS PAST WAS STILL HANGING OVER HIM. IN 2001, HICKS ESTRANGED WIFE, REGINA, DISAPPEARED. FOUR DAYS LATER, HER BODY WAS FOUND IN A CAR SUBMERGED IN A POND IN HURON COUNTY, WHILE HER FAMILY HAD THEIR SUSPICIONS, HICKS WAS NEVER NAMED A SUSPECT UNTIL NOW. HE WAS ARRESTED LAST NIGHT, INDICTED FOR THE MURDER OF REGINA HICKS 24 YEARS AGO. ACCORDING TO THE INDICTMENT, HICKS KNOCKED HER UNCONSCIOUS, PLACED HER INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THEN DROVE THE CAR INTO THE POND WITH THE DRIVER바카라 게임 웹사이트S SIDE WINDOW FULLY DOWN. IT WAS LIKE RIPPING A PIECE OF YOUR INSIDES OUT, AND YOU AIN바카라 게임 웹사이트T GOING TO GET THAT BACK. REGINA DROWNED, AND HICKS DID APPEAR IN COURT TODAY ON THE MURDER CHARGES. HE ENTERED A PLEA OF NOT GUILTY. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $2 MILLION. THERE ARE SO MANY TENTACLES TO THIS STORY. THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트S ALSO. THERE WAS A CIVIL SUIT WHERE HE WAS ORDERED TO PAY $400,000 TO ALLSTATE. BUT THEN, THEN, THEN THERE WAS A TWIST IN THAT CASE. YEAH, THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트S THERE바카라 게임 웹사이트S SO MUCH TO IT. OBVIOUSLY ONLY A LITTLE BIT. I COULD FIT INTO TWO MINUTES, BUT THERE WAS A CIVIL SUIT. HE DID HAVE TO PAY $400,000 TO ALLSTATE, BUT THE WOMAN WHO HE ALLEGEDLY HIRED TO DRESS AS HIS GIRLFRIEND, SHE WAS BEING QUESTIONED AS PART OF THE CIVIL SUIT. SHE ENDED UP DYING WHILE THAT INVESTIGATION WAS TAKING PLACE. OBVIOUSLY, HE바카라 게임 웹사이트S NEVER BEEN CHARGED IN CONNECTION. SHE DID HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS, BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO IT. I HAVE HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS I바카라 게임 웹사이트M STILL READING AT THIS HOUR. SHE바카라 게임 웹사이트S BEEN DOING THIS FOR FIVE YEARS. IF YOU MISSED AN
