Frederick J. DeVito, a 79-year-old man from Heath, Ohio, died on April 12, 2018 after being found at his home on Conn Way Drive with gunshot wounds to the head and hand. The death was initially reported as a suicide; his longtime partner, Victoria Corson, told authorities she had tried to take a firearm away from DeVito, that it accidentally discharged and injured her arm, and that DeVito then shot himself.

Inconsistencies in that initial account prompted further investigation. In March 2020 Corson was arrested and indicted on a murder charge after investigators concluded DeVito’s death was not a suicide but the result of foul play. Corson has pleaded not guilty. The probe has involved multiple agencies and extensive evidence gathering.

Are there readers who knew Frederick DeVito or who have information about the events at his Conn Way Drive home?
