‘The Ohio River is now a huge, unmarked grave;’ Where the search stands for 2 area boys​

Months after two southern Ohio boys were thrown into the Ohio River, weeks apart from each other, search crews have still not recovered either one of their bodies.


“Obviously when we have opportunities for our partners down in Hamilton County to get back on the water, we will continue that path. And I don’t know how long that will go on, but I assume it’s going to go on for a while,” Simpson said.

“When we have the opportunity to get on the water with them and let them do their thing we will certainly do that. We have no plans to discontinue the search for either one of those young boys.”

Simpson added that despite over seven months passing since the boys were thrown into the river, there still remains hope that their remains will be recovered.

“Our goal is to find James and Nylo and bring them back home is our hope. So we’ll stay focused on that.”

Mother’s confession: How detectives solved 6-year-old boy’s murder

The police chief said something seemed unusual from the very beginning.

Mother’s confession: How detectives solved 6-year-old boy’s murder​

The case of 6-year-old James Hutchinson went from missing child to a murder mystery one February day.

Detectives unraveled the story his mother and her boyfriend told, and within a few hours, the two confessed to what happened.


Throughout the three-hour interrogation, detectives bounced back and forth between rooms, disassembling the story built on a foundation of lies, brick by brick.

“When we had them separated, they never had contact again from the beginning,” Chief Birk explained. “And then, once we pulled the layers of lies off and they came up with the exact same story from beginning to end and their time frame started lining up better, that’s when you know you’re getting to the truth. And their stories by the end of the interviews, their stories were identical.”

James Hutchinson’s father commemorates year since 6-year-old’s murder​

It’s been a year since 6-year-old James Hutchinson was killed by his Middletown mother, Brittany Gosney.

Gosney is now in prison serving a life sentence. Meanwhile, Lewis Hutchinson, the boy’s father, says he’s still trying to find peace one year after James’ death.

“It’s a living hell,” he said. “It’s a nightmare.”

Lewis went to the very place James died in 2021 to release balloons in his honor. He says he doesn’t want to forget his son. At the same time, he suffers from PTSD and night terrors being unable to remember what happened without re-experiencing it.


For months crews searched unsuccessfully for James’ body. Lewis wants it found for the closure only a proper burial can bring.

“I found a little peace when [Gosney and Hamilton] got sentenced, but I think they should have been sentenced to more,” he said.

Gosney’s interrogation tapes claim Hamilton had pressured her to get rid of her children. Lewis says he can’t forgive either of them.

“I mean I can’t,” he said. “I can’t find it in my heart to forgive them.”
