Claire Schneider’s Story

A Young Woman With A Bright Future

Claire Schneider, the youngest sister of four girls, was a happy, carefree child. She grew into a smart, caring, socially conscious young woman and graduated from Thomas Worthington High School in the top 10% of her class. Claire had many passions that included volleyball, dancing, gymnastics and cheerleading. She received scholar athlete awards and coaches’ awards for both volleyball and gymnastics

In her spare time Claire was focused on making the world a better place. She volunteered with the Special Olympics and was a gymnastics coach for her peers. While many students were more concerned with popularity, Claire was concerned with helping those less fortunate and bringing out the best in all those around her.

After high school Claire attended The Ohio State University, completed training and certification as a nail technician, and worked part time while pursuing a dual major including a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and a Bachelor of Science in international studies. In December 2001 Claire was preparing to begin her final quarter prior to graduation from Ohio State and intended to pursue a career as a translator. Her last quarter was to be spent in a study abroad program in the Dominican Republic.

Everyone knew Claire as a talented young woman who was driven by her passions. They had no doubt she would go far and be very successful. Her family and friends described Claire as the type of daughter, sister and friend we all would hope to have in our lives.

Sadly Claire’s dreams and bright future would come to a tragic end when her kindness and desire to help others led Claire into the dark world of a controlling, abusive boyfriend who would eventually end Claire’s life and all her hopes and dreams.

A Concerned Family 

Claire began dating Kevin Tolliver in late 1999. Although Tolliver he had some shortcomings Claire felt she could help change him for the better. It wouldn’t take long for Claire’s family to learn that Tolliver was possessive, territorial, insecure, controlling and jealous. The first time her family met Tolliver was at a Christmas Eve dinner and celebration at their home in December 1999. At dinner he was non-communicative and then had the audacity to fall asleep during a gift exchange. The entire family got a very bad vibe from Tolliver and were worried about Claire.

Tolliver fit the profile of a typical insecure abuser who portrayed himself far more successful then he actually was in real life. He fancied himself as better than his peers, a “player”, a suave, macho social sophisticate, and a ladies’ man who took pains to attempt to impress everyone he met with his intelligence, looks and achievements. Tolliver often showed up at Claire’s workplace randomly during the day and hung out while she worked to the point that management asked Claire to curtail it.  He stole a handicapped parking permit and hung it from his vehicle mirror to steal handicapped parking from those who legitimately held permits. He also had failed to show and had been convicted in absentia of an assault case in South Padre Island, TX. In addition, Tolliver had failed at several businesses and had a bankruptcy filing on his record.

Claire’s family had two meetings with Claire to discuss their concerns about Tolliver and they suggested she distance herself from him. Despite her family’s pleas Claire remained adamant about continuing the relationship and ended up allowing Tolliver to move into her campus area apartment.  Tolliver objected to Claire spending her last quarter at Ohio State University away from him in the Dominican Republic. He initially demanded that she not go and then suggested that he travel with her.  Claire was not in favor of this but ultimately agreed to allow him to spend the last week of her study time there with her. There are no records of him ever preparing or making travel arrangements for this trip.

A Night Of Celebration Ends In Tragedy

On the evening of December 28, 2001 Claire and Tolliver had dinner to celebrate Claire’s upcoming final quarter at Ohio State and ended up at a night club in the downtown area. The pair were dancing together at first however later in the evening a witness said she saw Claire dancing without Tolliver and that Tolliver was “watching her with his arms across his chest”, and looking “kind of angry.” A worker at the night club observed Clair and Tolliver leave the night club and that they were speaking particularly loudly. While the conversation was noticeable it did not alarm the night club employee or the police officers standing with him.

Clair and Tolliver arrived home at approximately 12:36 A.M. and less than a half hour later a neighbor was awakened by a man screaming “No, No. Don’t don’t. Oh please. Please.” She then called 911 and reported she thought the screaming was coming from the apartment above her and she heard the couple fighting for about a half hour and it sounded like someone had fallen down. Claire and Tolliver actually lived below the neighbor so when a policeman arrived and checked the upstairs apartment he found no issues.

At 1:45 A.M. Tolliver’s ex-wife received a phone call from him. He was sobbing and told her if she ever loved him, she would come to the apartment immediately.  Tolliver’s ex-wife arrived 10 minutes later along with her and Tolliver’s young daughter. She immediately saw blood smeared on the front door and found Tolliver in a blood-stained bathrobe with blood on his hands and feet. After seeing the gruesome scene Tolliver’s ex-wife said she was going to take their young daughter back to the car. Tolliver followed her and she asked him what happened. He replied that he was “really in trouble.” Tolliver was crying hysterically and his ex-wife thought he was having a breakdown. He said he was going to kill himself and wanted to see his daughter. The ex-wife called 911 and reported the what had happened and then drove to the other side of the parking lot fearing Tolliver would kill himself in front of his young daughter.

Minutes before police arrived one of Tolliver’s neighbors returned home. As he walked to his apartment, he saw Tolliver dressed in a bathrobe. A startled Tolliver ducked into an alcove outside the apartment. Seconds later Tolliver came out of hiding and asked the neighbor, “How’s it going?” The neighborhood responded, “How’s it going with you?” Tolliver stated, “Good.” The neighbor said Tolliver did not act upset and asked for no assistance.

Police responded and found Tolliver in a bathrobe covered in blood and talking on Claire’s cell phone. He was also holding a bloody dish towel. Tolliver told the officers, “she shot herself.” Tolliver was handcuffed immediately and put into the police cruiser.

Inside the apartment police found blood on the walls and floor, as well as an overturned floor lamp and potted plant on the ground. Claire was found lying face up on the bathroom floor on top of a blood saturated black nylon jacket with her arms partially inside the sleeves. On the bathroom vanity was a blood covered pistol, an envelope containing three dollars, and a note stating, “she did not know the gun was loaded. I loved her. Could not find phone”. In the sink police found two live shells, and the gun’s magazine clip containing 12 live shells. One bullet hole with several hairs attached was found in the bathroom door. The bullet that killed Claire was located behind the door. Two pens and a second semiautomatic weapon magazine clip containing live rounds was found under Claire’s body. Claire’s aunt also turned over to police a men’s white dress shirt and black pants with blood on them after she found the items in the laundry basket while the family was cleaning out Claire’s apartment.

Tolliver was not permitted to go into the bathroom at the police station so blood evidence could be collected. In police photos Tolliver had blood on his face, legs and feet however no blood was on his hands. Tolliver refused to waive his rights claiming he was not of sound mind because his girlfriend had just died.

Tolliver told police that Claire was saying “What do you want me to” when the gun fired. He said he turned around to see Claire falling to the ground. Tolliver claimed he could not find the wound to apply pressure.

An autopsy revealed that Claire died as a result of a gunshot wound that was fired from her lower left side and went through the back of her mouth. It was also noted that Claire was left-handed. The report stated that CPR may have been performed after the shooting. Deputy Coroner Keith Norton found numerous bruises and abrasions on Claire’s body including two on the front of her right leg, three on the inside of her right leg, one close to her ankle, and three on the outside of her upper left leg. He testified a bruise on the base of Claire’s thumb on the back of her hand was consistent with a defensive would although there was no way to tell if that was certain. He also found swelling and bruising on the left side of Claire’s face close to the eye, two narrow “scratch-like” scrapes on the right side of her chest, and bruising on the left side of her neck.

Tolliver was arrested and charged with the murder of Claire Schneider.

Strong Evidence Leads To A Murder Conviction

Prosecutor’s presented a wealth of powerful evidence refuting Tolliver’s claims that Claire shot herself.

A forensic expert testified that Tolliver’s shirt had blood spatter showing that he would have been at close range when Claire was shot and that it was unlikely she committed suicide or shot herself accidentally.

Evidence also showed that the gun was held against Claire’s lips, just outside her mouth. The location of a fresh bruise on Claire’s neck and the bullet hole in the bathroom door indicated Claire likely was held against the door when she was shot.

There were numerous transfer bloodstains on Claire’s body, including several digit patterns indicating that Claire’s body was repositioned. In addition, the pen used to write the note, which was clearly written after her death, was found underneath Claire’s body. Tolliver removed all fingerprint evidence by washing his hands before police arrived on the scene.

Tolliver also claimed he couldn’t find a phone to call for help yet Claire’s phone was in the apartment and Tolliver had two cell phones in his car. When Tolliver did find a phone, he chose to call his ex-wife seven times, a friend, Claire’s voicemail, and his own voicemail. Even after his ex-wife told him to call police he did not do so. The only explanation for these events is that Tolliver wanted to ensure Claire was dead before authorities found her.

Prosecutors also called a fellow inmate who claimed Tolliver confessed to him while in jail. He said Tolliver felt that he would be losing Claire when she traveled to the Dominican Republic. He said after shooting Claire that Tolliver said he “had to get rid of some evidence.” Tolliver said he shot Claire with a sock over his wrist, and a shirt, like a towel over the rest of his arm to keep the gun blast from going back. He also said Tolliver told him he had to move the body around to make it look like Claire killed herself and he had to get her blood on him to make it look like he was holding her. Tolliver told the inmate his defense strategy was to tell the jury the Claire committed suicide “and when they saw him on the stand and saw him cry and really look remorseful, then they would know that he didn’t kill him herself, his exact words.”

Tolliver’s defense team continued to claim shot herself. Tolliver did to take the stand in his own defense.

Based on the overwhelming evidence it took a jury three days to find Tolliver guilty of murder. Franklin County Common Pleas Judge John A. Connor sentenced Tolliver to 15 years to life in prison for the murder plus an additional three years for using a gun to commit the crime. Tolliver has appealed his conviction several times and each time the courts rejected his claims and upheld the murder conviction.

No Parole

Since his incarceration Kevin Tolliver has neither admitted to his horrific crime nor taken responsibility for his actions.  When he murdered Claire, Tolliver not only took Claire’s life, he forever robbed  the lives of those who knew her. Tolliver robbed a large, close family of the happiness, joy and love that Claire would have afforded them. He robbed Claire’s friends of an intelligent, loved confidant who helped them talk through and find solutions to their problems, who stood by and helped them with whatever they needed in their lives. He robbed the world of a happy, vivacious, loving soul who would have made a difference for those less fortunate than her. He ultimately robbed Claire of the chance to graduate from college, walk down the aisle at her wedding, being a loving wife and mother, pursuing her career, and making the world a better place for everyone.

Based on the fact Tolliver continues to deny his guilt and he murdered and innocent woman in cold blood he certainly does not deserve to be granted parole after serving his bare minimum sentence. In addition, Tolliver’s continued refusal to take responsibility for his actions makes him a threat to the community, especially to young women who would enter into a relationship with him. Releasing Tolliver at this time would create an undue risk to public safety and would be a complete injustice to Claire Schneider and her family. To further the interest of justice and protect society we urge The Ohio Parole Board to give Tolliver the maximum ten-year continuance at his initial parole hearing.

Next Parole Hearing : March 2020

Eugene Grime used his trusted position as a 2nd grade teacher to molest little boys

Case Summary

Eugene Grime, a second grade schoolteacher, used his position of trust to prey on little boys. Grime admitted to molesting at least 11 children. He was given a plea deal so the victims would not have to testify. Grime pled guilty to 2 counts of rape and was sentence from 14-50 years in prison. Grime was adjudicated a sexual predator, the most dangerous of all sex offender classifications.

Monster Masquerades as Trusted Teacher

A psychologist characterizes Eugene Grime as a “prototypic Pedophile” who is sexually drawn to little boys. One of his victims calls Grime a monster. The Ohio Parole Board calls Grime rehabilitated and worthy of parole. He will be granted a release date in less than two weeks unless one of his victims, the prosecutor, and community opposition can convince the parole board members to reverse their egregious decision.

On October 2, 1984, Eugene Grime, a second grader teacher at Delta Elementary school, was arrested and charged with three counts of statutory rape involving multiple children. The arrest followed an investigation by the Delta police department and Fulton County Children’s Services. Two days later a grand jury filed a 17-count indictment involving sexual abuse crimes against at least 11 young children all under the age of 13.

One of Grime’s victims detailed his nightmare in a letter sent to The Ohio Parole Board. “The school year started like any other, fresh clear classroom, some familiar classmates, some new. Then it was finally my turn to be special, my turn to be important. Little did I know the monster I would meet. Not a monster in the terms of ‘roar’ and ‘grrrrrr’ but a nice, sweet, loving manipulative monster.”

In 2016 that same victim told Shaun Hegarty at 13abc Action News, “You’re in there. You’re not the helper, you’re his buddy. You’re playing. You’re having fun and you’re wrestling. Wrestling is tumbling around like you’re with your dad. Well it leads to a little more and you’re put into a position of ‘how do I react?’ and at 7 years old I didn’t know how to react,” he continued, “I think the thought [something was wrong and the wrestling went too far] was always there but it was this person loves me so much. He’s supposed to protect me and he says I can’t tell anybody. ‘Don’t tell anybody. You can’t tell anybody our secret.’ and it’s like I don’t want to hurt him. I don’t want to see him get in trouble.”

A Plea Deal Nets 50 Years

After his arrest Grime tried to get his bail lowered which was subsequently denied by Judge Richard McQuade Jr. who said “there is a strong possibility this defendant could abscond” based on the number and severity of the charges. As one would expect Grime was suspended from his teaching job after his arrest. Although Grimes was in jail facing 10 rape charges involving 11 children, Grimes had the audacity to request a review of his dismissal from the school which was postponed until after his trial.

Facing multiple witnesses and a horrific list of crimes Eugene Grime agreed to accept a plea agreement which prevented the children from having to testify in court. Grimes admitted to all the charges however he pled guilty to two counts of rape of persons under 13 years of age. He was sentenced to 2 consecutive 7-25-year prison terms.

A Clear and Present Danger

In 2004, Grime was adjudicated a sexual predator, the most dangerous of all sex offender classifications. The sexual predator adjudication also meant he had a high risk to reoffended. Grime appealed this decision citing his good prison record, his counseling and therapy, and a standardized test citing he had less than a 20% percent probability that he would reoffend.

A psychologist stated the standardized test Grime cited does not take into account the fact he molested at least 11 children and the fact this activity lasted for between 3 and 7 years. According to the Grime’s appeal documents the psychologist testified the Grime’s attraction to young boys is a “” * * * deeply integrated component of his psyche that will not be eradicated, no matter what type of treatment he receives.” She stated Grime may be able to control is urges however they will always be with him. She concluded by stating it was “likely” that Grimes would reoffend. The three judges agreed and affirmed that Grime is a sexual predator.

In his sexual predator appeal Grime “argues that he has a nearly spotless record in his 19 years in prison,” and “that a standardized test designed to measure a sex offender’s probability to reoffend resulted in a less than a 20 percent probability that he would reoffend.” While we commend his behavior the fact is in a prison setting Grime is not allowed around children so he has no opportunity to reoffend. In addition, while we consider the 20% chance of reoffending a low estimate, based on his past crimes a 20% chance is far too high a percentage to justify releasing Grime back on the streets.

No Parole

The Ohio Parole Board’s decision to grant tentative parole to Eugene Grime is completely unacceptable. Grime used his position of trust as an elementary school teacher to molest at least 11 young children. We believe the number of victims is likely much higher as Grime’s sexual abuse of children occurred for at least 3-7 years. In addition, a psychologist, a judge, and an appeals court have made it clear that Grime has a high likelihood of molesting more children if he is put back on the streets. Grime received a huge break when he was given a plea deal requiring him to serve a maximum of 50 years in prison which equates to less than 5 years for each child victim he traumatized. That is the only break that should be given to Eugene Grime.

Releasing Eugene Grime before he has served his maximum sentence would be a complete injustice to Grime’s victims and would pose a serious risk to the community, especially young children. To further the interest of justice and to protect society we urge the Ohio Parole Board to reverse their decision to parole serial child molester Eugene Grime and keep him in prison for his maximum 50-year sentence.

As of April 30, 2020 28 inmates have died from the Coronavirus in Ohio’s state prisons. Seven names have been reported and all of them were violent inmates. Below are the details regarding their horrific crimes. We will update the cases on this page as more information becomes available.

NEW CASE Romulus Nedea kidnapped and sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl, assaulted a guard and attempted to escape, and exposed himself to young girls all three times he was granted parole

Case Summary

Inmate Nedea was serving an 8-65 year sentence for the crimes of Sodomy, Assault against a Child under 16, Child Stealing, Attempted Escape and Wounding an Officer.

The offenses involve Nedea driving by a swimming pool in 1969 and engaging a 7-year-old girl in conversation. He asked her to take a ride with him and when she refused and tried to run away, he grabbed her and drug her to his car. He drove to a remote location while fondling her. He then stopped his car and performed oral sex upon the victim.

Nedea was apprehended and sent to Lima State Hospital where he escaped after assaulting a guard. He was apprehended and again confined in prison.

Since that time, Nedea was paroled three times, and each time he has returned to prison for exposing himself to young girls in stores. He has only been charged with misdemeanor offenses each time, but he continually violates his supervision with sexually related behavior against minors. Nedea denied exposing himself and claims he was too old to behave in that manner.

Due to Nedea’s criminal history of sexual offenses against young girls, and his repeat exposing behavior while on parole, he was deemed unsuitable for re-parole. He remained in prison until his death in April 2020 from the Coronavirus

NEW CASE Rodney Hobbs molested at least nine children multiple times over a period of nine years

Case Summary

Inmate Hobbs was serving an 8-year sentence consecutive to an 8 to 25-year sentence for the crimes of Rape and Gross Sexual Imposition (8 counts).

The crimes involved 9 minor victims and the duration was approximately 9 years. Hobbs, a volunteer fireman, was caught after a little girl witnessed Hobbs fondling her baby sister. The little girl told her parents what she had seen and the parents contacted police which led to Hobbs arrest. The abuses took place between 1984, 1987, 1992, and 1993 and all victims were under the age of 13. Hobb’s victims were both boys and girls.

Hobbs entered a plea of no contest to one count of rape and eight counts of gross sexual imposition. Hobbs received an 8-25 year sentence plus an addition eight years

Hobbs had maintained good institutional conduct and completed a Mandatory Sex Offender Program. However, he expressed no remorse and lacked insight into his offense behavior.

Given the nature of the offenses-sexual crimes against multiple minor victims, the duration of sexual offending against children, the lack of remorse and insight, Hobbs was deemed unsuitable for release.

Hobbs remained in prison until he died from the Coronavirus in April 2020.

James Zeigler murdered two men in cold-blood and attempted to kill his estranged wife

Case Summary

Inmate Zeigler served an aggregate Life-Life sentence for two counts of Shooting with Intent to Kill, one count of First-Degree Murder and one count of Second-Degree Murder.

The offense involved Zeigler entering the restaurant where his estranged wife Lucy worked and engaging in an argument with her. Zeigler forced her into the back room, and produced a handgun. As he was forcing her out of the restaurant, a patron, Asher Lee Wiley, attempted to intervene, at which time Zeigler shot him. The restaurant owner, Denis Raulerson, then approached Zeigler after he had forced his wife outside, at which time Zeigler shot him. Zeigler’s wife attempted to flee, but Zeigler chased her down and shot her three times. Zeigler attempted to flee the scene and flagged down a vehicle. As the vehicle was stopping, someone called out to the driver to warn him not to pick up Zeigler. The driver pulled away, at which time Zeigler shot at him. Mr. Wiley and Mr. Raulerson were killed. Zeigler’s estranged wife Lucy survived the shooting, but suffered permanent bodily injury. The driver who was shot at was not injured.

Zeigler’s prior record consists of a misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct/Resisting Arrest/Intoxication conviction.

Zeigler was granted parole in 2012 however the victims appealed and parole was reversed. Zeigler remained in prison until he died of the Coronavirus in April 2020.

James Woodward raped and repeatedly sexually assaulted his nine-year-old grandneice

Case Summary

On September 22, 2010, James Woodward was indicted for one count of rape, a first-degree felony, and one count of gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony. The charges stemmed from allegations that Woodward touched and digitally penetrated the genitals of his nine-year-old grandniece and performed oral sex on her.

At trial the grandniece testified that on numerous occasions, Woodward touched or penetrated her vagina with his fingers, telling her that it was their “secret.” She explained that Woodward would pull down her pajama pants and begin touching her genital area, typically while they watched a movie on the couch or in Woodward’s bedroom. On at least three other occasions, she testified Woodward “hid” her in his bathroom and forced her to submit to oral sex.

Following a jury trial, Woodward was convicted as charged and sentenced to an indefinite sentence of 15 years to life in prison on Count One, and a consecutive four-year sentence on Count Two.

Woodward died of the Coronavirus in April 2020. The young victim and her family will never have to deal with the ordeal of a parole hearing.

Charles Viney Jr. stabbed two men after being released for the cold-blooded murder of a Vietnam veteran

Case Summary

On April 23, 1972 Charles Viney Jr. entered the D and D Carryout in Springfield Ohio armed with a gun and intent on robbing the store. Thomas Morton, a Vietnam veteran, was working at the store when Viney walked in and demanded money. When Mr. Morton told a customer to call the police Viney shot him in the chest. The bullet went through Mr. Morton’s lung and he died at the hospital two hours later. Viney fled the scene and later turned himself into police. Viney originally pled not guilty by reason of insanity however later changed his plea to guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Inexplicably, in 1985 the parole board recommended that then Governor Richard Celeste commute Viney’s sentence and set him free. The Ohio Parole Board said Viney was a model prisoner and Celeste agreed to release him. Viney would not have to report a parole officer and was under no restrictions that could return him to prison. Viney was released February 17, 1987.

Viney had multiple run ins with the law over the next three years culminating on April 26, 1990. Viney got into an argument with two men in an alley and stabbed both of them. Police found Viney standing 10 feet from one of the victims who was stabbed in the chest. Viney had blood on him. Viney was found guilty of felonious assault for one of the stabbings and was sentenced from 8-15 years in prison. That sentence would be in addition to his life sentence for killing Thomas Morton.

Viney remained in prion until his death in April 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus.

Christopher Malone shot a man in cold-blood and later beat his cellmate

Case Summary

Christopher Malone in a written letter proclaimed himself “the Buffalo Soldier” and said he going to war with a “black devil” who recruited teens to sell crack.

As the car drove by the house Malone opened fire on Harold Morton who visiting the house and was washing a car in the driveway. Malone shot Mr. Norton twice in the legs with a small caliber handgun and then fired a fatal bullet to the right side of Mr. Norton’s chest with a shotgun. Malone was arrested a short time later after crashing his car during a police chase.

Malone originally pled not guilty by reason of insanity however later dropped his insanity defense. At trial a defiant Malone openly admitted to killing Mr. Norton. Montgomery County assistant prosecutor John Slavens called it “a brutal, brutal execution.” He also quoted Malone’s letter in which he wrote, “I will leave fire and death in my path.” Based on the evidence and Malone’s own admission a jury found him guilty of murder. Immediately after being found guilty Malone said he didn’t kill anyone and made up all his statements. Malone was sentenced 18 years to life in prison.

In May 1997 Malone was convicted of felonious assault after beating his cellmate at Warren Correctional Institution. Malone had to be strapped to his chair and frequently swore at the judge during the trial. He received an additional 8 years in prison for this crime.

Richard Berger strangled 25-year-old Starr Pawliczka to death

Case Summary

On April 18, 2016 25-year-old Starr Pawliczka was unresponsive in the apartment of Richard Berger. Berger met Starr at her job and the two became friends. Berger had offered Starr, who was trying to get her life turned around after quitting heroine, a safe place to stay. According to Starr’s mother,“She was there just to get clean and have a place to go where no one could find her.”

The day of Starr’s death Berger allowed Starr to remain unconcsious for an hour before calling 911 at about 3:45AM to report Starr needed medical attention. Berger said he did not know what was wrong with Starr, and he believed she may have had a seizure or had overdosed. According to Berger, Starr was conscious when he made the call however paramedics found her unconscious with injuries “possibly related to blunt force trauma.” Police reports also showed symptoms of a possible drug overdose. Starr was taken to the hospital where she passed away the next day.

While police initially did not have enough evidence to arrest Berger they continued to work with Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office and the F.B.I.

Two years later, on April 14, 2018, police had enough evidence to arrest Berger and charged him with the murder of Starr Pawliczka. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office concluded Starr was murdered after it was determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma injuries and neck compression. Detectives determined Starr was strangled. A detective stated, “Based on the way the injuries looked, the medical examiner was able to give a pretty exact time of when that happened,” she said. “He was the only person who could have caused those injuries.”

Facing a wealth of evidence Berger agreed to plead guilty involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs. The Corrupting Another with Drugs charged involved Berger providing drugs to Starr before her death. Berger was sentenced to 10 years in prison on November 12, 2019.

Berger died in prison from the Coronavirus in April 2020.

Berlena Wright was beaten to death by her husband’s friend

Case Summary

Berlena Wright, a mother of four children, was beaten to death by Tyrone White after he got in a fight with her husband over a small amount of money. White stole Mrs. Wright’s vehicle and fled the scene. Wright assumed numerous fake names and spent the next seven years on the run until law enforcement found a fingerprint match after White was arrested on a minor charge. White admitted to killing Mrs. Wright and plead guilty to murder. He received a sentence of 15 years to life in prison for his crime.

Berlena Wright’s Story

A Loving Mother Of Four

Berlena Wright was a kind, tough, hard-working woman who understood the importance of family. Mrs. Wright, a devoted mother of four, sacrificed her dreams for the sake of making sure her children were a priority and not an option. She allowed them to see their way in the world as they grew into adulthood. As time went by Mrs. Wright became peaceful, content, and appreciative of all the successes in her children’s lives. Sadly a horrific crime in 1989 would rob Mrs. Wright of having the opportunity to see her children fulfill their dreams and raise their families,  she would also forever be denied the chance of being a loving grandma to her grandchildren.

A Senseless and Violent Murder

On September 1, 1989 Mrs. Wright’s second husband Ronald Wright, who was not the father of her four children, went out for a night of partying with his friend Tyrone White. The two men took Mrs. Wright’s 1976 Chrysler automobile and spent the evening getting high and drunk with friends. At some point during the evening Ronald Wright and Tyrone White got into an argument over a small amount of money. White later left the party under the premise that he was going to get more alcohol and drugs for everyone.

Rather than going to buy drugs and alcohol White drove to the Wright’s apartment where Mrs. Wright was spending a quiet evening at home. Once in the home a fight ensued between Tyrone White and Berlena Wright. White became angry, grabbed an ax handle, and beat Mrs. Wright to death with it. White got back in Mrs. Wright’s Chrysler and fled the scene.

When Tyrone White did not return to the party Mr. Wright got a ride home early the next morning. He arrived home at 5 A.M. and when he went inside the apartment he found his wife on the floor beaten to death. She was not wearing any pants. Mr. Wright called police and thus began a seven year manhunt for Tyrone White.

A Killer On The Run

Tyrone White got a series of lucky breaks after he killed Berlena Wright in Cincinnati Ohio. Two hours after killing Mrs. Wright authorities arrested White in Shelby County Ohio after he stole gasoline from a gas station. White gave a fake name and the car was not yet listed as stolen in the state computer system. Officials charged White with theft under the fake name and he was released. When White didn’t claim the car police learned of the link to Berlena Wright’s murder. White was gone however his fingerprints remained and were forwarded to the FBI.

Police were tracking Mr. White all over the country however technology at the time was slow so fingerprint matches took three to six months to come back with information. By the time the matches came back White had moved again and changed his name. Cincinnati Police got close to catching White in Michigan in 1994 when they got a tip about another alias he was using however they just missed White when then arrived to arrest him.

The Cincinnati violent crimes task force, who had been tracking White for years, finally caught a break in March 1996 when they discovered a fingerprint match after White was arrested for a minor offense in West Virginia. Authorities traced White to a public housing development in Charleston, West Virginia. On March 6, 1996 Tyrone White’s luck ran out when Charleston police arrested him as he left his apartment. White was brought back to Cincinnati and was charged with aggravated murder as well as the lessor charge of murder for killing Berlena Wright. He was also charged with grand theft for stealing her automobile.

A Plea Deal Nets A Life Sentence

Authorities believed White intended to rob and rape Mrs. Wright as retribution for the fight earlier in the evening with Mrs. Wright’s husband. After the arrest Assistant Hamilton County Prosector John Arnold stated, “It’s probably one of the worst beating homicides I’ve ever seen.” White said he remembered beating Mrs. Wright to death however he could not remember raping her and had no explanation as to why her pants had been removed.

Rather than go to trial Tyrone White opted to plead guilty to murder for killing Berlena Wright as well as grand theft for stealing her automobile. He received a sentence of 15 years to life for the murder charge, along with a two year concurrent sentence for the grand theft charge.

A Highly Questionable Parole

While Tyrone White has no major rule infractions in recent years his commitment to rehabilitation is completely inadequate. According to parole board records although White has been in prison 24 years he has not completed a mental health program. Over two decades later he also has not taken the victim’s awareness class. Nothing in the Ohio Parole Board records indicates White has taken any responsibility for his crime or shown any remorse for his actions.

Of greater concern is the logic behind the reason to grant tentative parole to Tyrone White in August 2020.

The parole board records in 2017 state, “Given the nature of the crime, as well as his [White’s] conduct, he [White] is not suitable for release.” The records go on to state “There is substantial reason to believe that due to the serious nature of the crime, the release of the inmate into society would create undue risk to public safety, or that due to the serious nature of the crime, the release of the inmate would not further the interest of justice or be consistent with the welfare and security of society.”

Three years later in July 2020 The Ohio Parole Board voted 6-0 to release White despite the fact the records state, “Since his last hearing in 2017 the offender has not taken any additional risk related programming.” The parole board also cites White’s age and health as a reason for release. It is unclear why the parole board opted to release a potentially dangerous inmate three years later when little has changed and he has made no additional efforts to rehabilitate himself to reduce his risk to commit another violent crime.

To make matters worse, Berlena Wright’s son Tyrone, who has been adamantly opposing White’s release for 24 years, was never notified of the decision to grant White parole. According to victim’s services they sent a letter however it was never received. Although victim’s services had spoken to Mrs. Wright’ son by phone one month prior to the parole, and had his phone number and email address, they opted to mail a letter even though it is well known there are ongoing issues with mail delivery.

Fortunately our organization found out White had been granted tentative parole and called Mrs. Wright’s son to advise him of the situation. He now has one last opportunity to speak to The Ohio Parole Board in an attempt to persuade them to deny parole for his mother’s killer.

A Son’s Plea For Justice

My name is Tyrone DuBose and I am the son of Berlena Wright. Since 1989, it is been my sole mission to make sure that the man who murdered my Mother was brought to justice, and pays for it by spending the rest of his life in prison. I made a promise to this murderer that every time he came up for parole, I would be there to block it. I am now in need of your help. On October 21st, I will have one last opportunity to keep my mother’s killer in prison. I’m asking if you could please take the time to sign the petition to oppose parole. I appreciate each of you helping me in my efforts to keep this monster off the streets and get justice for my mom. Love and blessings to all of you.

No Parole

Tyrone White brutally murdered Berlena Wright to get revenge after a fight with her husband. White then fled the state and spent seven years moving from state to state continually changing his name to evade authorities. Although White has been in prison for 24 years nothing in The Ohio Parole Board records indicate he has taken responsibility for his actions or shown remorse for his horrific crime. White also failed to complete critical rehabilitation classes including a mental health course and victim awareness class. White has never apologized to the Berlena Wright’s children or offered any insight as to why he committed his horrible crime.

Releasing Tyrone White would be a complete injustice to Berlena Wright and would demean his cruelty to her. Based on White’s brutal crime, limited programming, and his lack of remorse, it is clear placing White back on the streets at this point would pose a serious risk to the community, especially women. To further the interests of justice and to protect society we urge The Ohio Parole Board to reverse the parole of Tyrone White and give him an additional three year continuance until his next parole hearing.

Next Parole Hearing : February 2021

Charles “Charlie” Wright was beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend

Case Summary

Charlie Wright, age seven, was abused and brutally beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend Wayne Doyle. Doyle also abused Charlie’s nine-year-old brother David. Despite the fact he murdered Charlie, Doyle was charged with involuntary manslaughter rather than murder, along with other charges related to the abuse. As a result instead of a life sentence Doyle received a sentence of only 10-40 years in prison with parole eligibility. Loretta Wright, the boys’ mother, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for failing to protect her sons. She received a sentence of 6-25 years in prison and is now free. (Petition to keep Doyle in prison can be found at the end of the full story below)

Charlie Wright’s Story

Born Into Neglect

Seven-year-old Charles “Charlie” Wright and his nine-year-old brother David knew the meaning of the word neglect at an early age. Their mother Loretta Wright, who had a career as a truck stop prostitute, had no desire to be a responsible parent. Family members and those that knew the boys reported bruising on their backs and legs, fecal matter in their hair, and reported Charlie and David being out alone late at night. Charlie and David were often dirty and slept on urine-soaked mattresses. Ms. Wright would leave the boys with family and strangers, whoever would take them. Three times Summit County Ohio Children’s Services removed the boys from their home due to neglect.

The Wright boys were toddlers when they were first placed in the home of foster parents Shirley and Thomas Strittmatter. The Strittmatters loved Charlie and David like they were their own children and gave them the loving home the boys so desperately needed in their lives. Despite the fact that Charlie and David were thriving with the Strittmatters, Child Protective Services continued to return them to the care of their mother. Charlie and David were placed in the Strittmatters home for the third time in December of 1985. By June 1986 they were once again returned to their mother by Children’s Services. According to the agency who was supposed to protect the children, “the mother had improved.” Less than a year later Charlie would be dead.

A Day Of Pain And Suffering

On Thursday, April 23, 1987, Charlie, a first grader at Mason Elementary, went to school along with David. Charlie was walking very slow to the point that David had to walk ahead of him so he wouldn’t be late for class. Almost immediately after arriving at school Charlie began crying and told his teacher his stomach hurt. His teacher brought Charlie to the office around 10 A.M., put him on a bed, covered him with a blanket, took his glasses off, and told him they were calling his mom and everything would be okay. They checked his stomach and saw no bruises. Charlie’s mother arrived 15 minutes later and asked for schoolwork to take home for Charlie. Charlie’s teacher returned with the schoolwork and told Ms. Wright that Charlie should be taken to a doctor or hospital. She then asked Ms. Wright to call her with an update.

When Charlie’s mother did not call, the teacher phoned her around 3:30 in the afternoon. Loretta Wright told the teacher she never took Charlie to see a doctor. She claimed she called a doctor which was a lie. Ms. Wright likely knew a doctor would see Charlie and learn the truth. According to Charlie’s mother he had taken a nap and was up and playing like normal. She said he was fine. More lies.

George Helmstedter, the owner of a local carry out, said Charlie came to his store alone 30 minutes before the teacher called Ms. Wright. Charlie was far from fine. Mr. Helmstedter, who knew Charlie from his frequent visits to the store with his brother David, said Charlie asked for an Almond Joy candy bar and left some change and the candy on the counter. He then asked to use the restroom. When Charlie didn’t come out of the restroom for 15 minutes Mr. Helmstedter went to check on him. Charlie was sitting in the bathroom and said he did not feel well. Mr. Helmstedter left Charlie to wait on customers who had come into the store. 30 minutes later Mr. Helmstedter noticed the change and candy bar still on the counter and returned to check on Charlie. He found Charlie lying on the floor falling asleep. Mr. Helmstedter asked Charlie what was wrong and Charlie responded he didn’t feel good. Mr. Helmstedter helped Charlie up and happened to see Charlie’s mother walking past the store. He told Ms. Wright that Charlie was ill and appeared to have a high fever. Mrs. Wright took Charlie home. Mr. Helmstedter said that David came in to the store at 9 P.M. that evening to buy carpet deodorizer because Charlie had been throwing up.

Although Charlie had vomited multiple times and was in severe pain his mother did nothing. She said at some point she saw Charlie with his finger down his throat and claimed Charlie was faking his illness. Charlie woke up around 4 A.M. the next morning and went to his mother’s room. He threw up on the sheets and waterbed. A neighbor reported at that same time hearing Loretta Wright yelling at Charlie and slapping him. The same neighbor reported that Ms. Wright had previously accused her of calling Children’s Services and Ms. Wright told the neighbor that if she found out anyone called Children’s Service’s and reported her, she would kill them.

Horrific Injuries Revealed

The next morning, on Friday, April 24, 1987, Loretta Wright got David up for a bath before school. Charlie remained in bed. David returned to his bedroom while Ms. Wright cleaned the bathroom up. David said Charlie was “talking and acting funny.” David was worried about his brother and held Charlie’s head in his hands. Charlie asked for a glass of water. David went to the bathroom and told his mother Charlie wasn’t acting right. When Loretta Wright went to check on Charlie, he was unresponsive. Ms. Wright finally did the right thing and called an ambulance. By that time it was too late.

When paramedics arrived around 8:30 A.M. they found Charlie lying face down on the floor wearing green pajamas. They rolled him over on his back and Charlie did not respond. An investigator noted that Charlie had multiple injuries including bruises on the back of his arms, back, legs and buttocks. Charlie was lying on a throw rug which had brownish colored material on it. Next to Charlie was a white plastic bucket with vomit in it. Charlie was cold to the touch and he was a bluish color due to not enough oxygen in his blood. At 9:05 A.M. Coroner William A. Cox arrived and pronounced Charlie Wright deceased.

Dr. Cox determined Charlie had multiple injuries and his death was the result of a severe beating inflicted by another person. He stated the fatal injury was three ruptures of the small intestine likely caused by a blow delivered with great force. The injury caused a fatal infection with the first signs of illness likely appearing nine to 12 hours after the injury. The rupture would eventually cause a rapidly spreading infection that would cause the collapse of Charlie’s respiratory and circulatory systems. Dr. Cox said Charlie likely could have survived had he been taken to a doctor. The autopsy also showed Charlie suffered two previously broken ribs.

In an attempt to gain sympathy Loretta Wright made a puncture wound to her wrist. According to Ms. Wright she tried to cut her wrists however she wasn’t really trying to commit suicide. She was treated by paramedics and sent to a psychiatric facility. Realizing the severity of the situation Charlie’s mother finally decided to tell the truth.

Child Abuse Leads to Murder

Loretta Wright met Wayne Doyle, a long-distance truck driver, in 1985 while working as a prostitute. Doyle was one of her tricks. She moved Doyle in with her and quit selling her body for sex. She also said she was attending college. That was enough for Children’s Services to place Charlie and David back into the home after being removed three times previously. Children’s Services had no problem with Doyle however those who knew him felt differently. According to one of Ms. Wright’s friends, “I warned her Wayne was going to hurt her kids.”

Loretta Wright described Doyle as a disciplinarian. He was actually a violent child abuser. Ms. Wright claimed she told Doyle to leave in the summer of 1986 because he was regularly beating Charlie and David. He kept coming back and she continued to take him in. On April 22, 1987, Doyle arrived home earlier than expected from his job. Ms. Wright said at one point that evening she saw him kicking David. By that night Charlie had enough of the abuse. He told his mother he wanted Doyle to leave. Doyle heard him and grabbed Charlie by the neck. He violently shook him and threw him across the living room. Doyle wasn’t done. Charlie told his mother that Doyle woke him at 3 A.M., took him downstairs, and beat him severely. It is believed it was during that violent beating when Doyle delivered the fatal blow to Charlie’s stomach. It also explained all the bruises on Charlie’s body. According to Ms. Wright when she confronted Doyle about the beating, he admitted to it and said everything would be okay when she calmed down.

David’s statements to authorities about the abuse he and Charlie suffered horrified detectives. Beatings were routine. David said Doyle once beat him with a screwdriver. One time he had to eat a bar of soap and when he threw up Doyle forced him to eat his vomit. Punishment consisted of forcing the boys to stand with their hands out, palms down. Doyle would then stack phone books on their hands. If the phone books fell that is when Doyle “really went crazy.” A routine medical exam of David revealed broken ribs that had occurred at the hands of Doyle.

Wayne Doyle was arrested the day of Charlie’s death while on his truck route. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, child endangering, felonious sexual penetration, and rape. The felonious sexual penetration and rape charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence however another felonious assault charge was added due to David’s broken ribs. Loretta Wright was charged with involuntary manslaughter and child endangering for failing to prevent he son’s abuse and also for not getting Charlie help which directly led to his death.

Child Killer Gets 14-40 Years

At Wayne Doyle’s trial powerful testimony was delivered by Charlie’s teacher, Summit County Coroner Dr. William Cox, and Loretta Wright. Ms. Wright openly admitted in court that she witnessed Doyle beating the boys in the past, that Charlie told her Doyle beat him the day before his death, and that she failed to get help for Charlie because she did not want Children’s Services to take Charlie and David again.

The most powerful testimony came from young David Wright. The Strittmatters stood with David for support as he told the jurors how Doyle regularly beat him and Charlie, punched them in the stomach, and would hold them up by their throats and then let them fall to the floor. He also testified to witnessing the beating that led to Charlie’s death.

Based on the evidence it took a jury a mere two hours and 45 minutes to convict Doyle of all charges. Since the Summit County Ohio Prosecutor’s Office failed to include a possible murder charge in the indictment a life sentence was not an option. In regards to Charlie’s death Judge Glen B. Morgan sentenced Doyle from 10 to 25 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, eight to 15 years for felonious assault, and three to 10 years for child endangering. He ordered the sentences to run concurrently (at the same time) meaning Doyle netted only 10-25 years for killing Charlie. Judge Morgan ordered Doyle serve a consecutive sentence of five to 15 years for the felonious assault charge for David’s abuse. The end result was a sentence of 15-40 years in prison.

Aftermath

Loretta Wright pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter and endangering children. She received a sentence of six to 25 years in prison. She was granted shock probation 18 months later. Almost immediately after being paroled she changed her last name and disappeared. Authorities found her over 11 years later after she was arrested on a forgery charge in Tucson, Arizona. She was brought back to Ohio. 13 years later she still minimized her role in Charlie’s death and portrayed herself as the victim. She was returned to prison. Her sentence has now expired and her whereabouts are unknown.

Children’s Service’s was cleared of any wrongdoing in Charlie’s death. Charlie’s case did inspire an overhaul on how child abuse cases were handled in Summit County.

Charlie’s school was cleared of any wrongdoing for not reporting the abuse.

We made multiple attempts to contact the Summit County Ohio Prosecutor’s Office to determine why a murder charge was not brought in regards to Charlie’s death. We received no response.

The Strittmatters adopted David and gave him the great life he deserved. He grew up to be an upstanding adult and served in the US Navy.

Mrs. Strittmatter fought tirelessly to get justice for Charlie until her untimely death in 2018.

One Last Injustice

Wayne Doyle got a huge break when he received a sentence of only 15-40 years in prison for killing little Charlie Wright and abusing David Wright. Unbelievably, The Ohio Parole Board has now voted 6-0 to grant Doyle tentative parole.

The Parole Board records raise serious questions about Doyle’s rehabilitation.

In 2012 the records state, “Inmate has very little insight as to why he was so violent against these children.” The documents go on to state “There is substantial reason to believe that due to the serious nature of the crime, the release of the inmate into society would create undue risk to public safety, or that due to the serious nature of the crime, the release of the inmate would not further the interest of justice or be consistent with the welfare and security of society”

The 2016 Parole Board documents state, “Despite his programming efforts, the inmate remains fairly insightful into the offense and minimizes his behavior, demonstrating little positive offender change.” They also reiterate their 2012 statement and add “There is substantial reason to believe that the inmate will engage in further criminal conduct, or that the inmate will not conform to such conditions of release.”

The Ohio Parole Board now wants us to believe this horrific child killer has made a miraculous turnaround in the last four years. Considering Doyle has minimized his role in Charlie’s brutal murder and David’s abuse for over 25 years we find it very hard to believe has has made some miraculous turnaround in the last four years.

We have been working tirelessly to get the Ohio Parole Board to reverse their decision to release child killer Wayne Doyle. As a result the Ohio Parole Board will now have a reconsideration hearing on February 17, 2021.

No Parole

Wayne Doyle is a horrific child abuser and a child murderer. He caught a huge break when he wasn’t charged with murder and as result received a minimal 15-40 year sentence for killing Charlie Wright and abusing David Wright. In addition, The Ohio Parole Board records clearly show that after three decades Doyle still minimizes his actions and shows little insight into why he hurt Charlie and David.

Releasing Wayne Doyle prior to serving his maximum sentence would be a complete injustice to Charlie and David Wright and would demean his cruelty to them. Based on Doyle’s horrific crimes and The Ohio Parole Board documents it is clear that releasing Wayne Doyle would present a tremendous risk to public safety, especially young children. To protect society and to further the interest of justice we urge The Ohio Parole Board to reverse their decision to parole Wayne Doyle and continue him to his maximum 40-year sentence.

A Noble Fight

The Columbus Dispatch (editorial)

Bret Vinocur has successfully blocked the release of over 100 of Ohio’s most-violent rapists and murderers, volunteering for the past 16 years to help strangers fight the parole board.

Often, survivors of horrendous crimes or relatives of murder victims seek his help after finding his website, BlockParole.com. When these strangers ask his fee, the answer is always the same: nothing.

But now, Vinocur is calling these debts. He is contacting victims he has helped and asking them to get signatures on BlockParole.com to keep one more prisoner locked up: the murderer of Edith Marcum, whose brutal death was the inspiration for Vinocur to take on parole system.

Vinocur met Marcum’s family in 1997, a decade after she was shot to death. The sorrow borne by her husband and four daughters was gut-wrenching, he recalled: “That family was still going through hell.”

That pain made such an impression that, years later, it would compel him to set up a nonprofit organization in his small apartment, school himself in parole-board canons and advocate for families unable to afford an attorney.

Several weeks ago, while tracking impending paroles online, Vinocur discovered the board had agreed to release Marcum’s killer; Arliss L. White has served 24 years of a 25- to 50-year sentence.

Vinocur reunited with the family and offered to help them fight the parole.

Edith Marcum was murdered at age 36, having just beaten bone cancer. Her husband had mortgaged their home to pay for her treatments, and she was working nights at a South Side drug store to cover bills. In February 1987, White and two others tried to rob the store and demanded Marcum open the safe. She didn’t know the combination. White shot her.

Every murder is horrible. But there something particularly unfair about a cancer victim enduring difficult treatments, celebrating that she would indeed live to watch her girls grow up, and then dying at the hands of a thug.

White, linked to 24 drugstore robberies, had been arrested 13 times before killing Marcum. Prosecutor Ron O’Brien has called on the parole board not to release him, saying White should serve his full sentence. The Parole Board is to consider the Marcum family’s objections at a Sept. 26 hearing; Vinocur is asking the public to sign an electronic petition on BlockParole.com to demonstrate strong public opposition to White’s release.

“Edith Marcum is a hero,” Vinocur said. He has become a perpetual thorn for the Ohio Parole Board, lobbying for laws that require the appointed board to conduct its business in public and better notify victims of pending releases.

Now he wonders if the board is sending him a message by freeing the killer whose crime impelled Vinocur to become a victims’ advocate.

The Parole Board wants White, 57, freed because he has dementia and other complications from strokes.

Whom this would serve is not clear. Whether he is released or not, White likely will remain dependent on the public — through one agency or another — for his support and his medical care.

White’s victim, whose brutal murder inspired Vinocur to block the early release of dozens of other brutal felons, deserves no less justice for herself.

UPDATE: The parole of Arliss White was reversed and denied in 2011. Three years later he was granted parole again on January 30, 2015. Less than 24 hours later, on January 31, 2015, White died in prison. Thank you to everyone who submitted a petition to block this parole. Justice has been served.
