Cindy Gesaman, 52, was killed in her Hinckley, Ohio home on February 5, 2016, alongside her brother Ryan Szychowicz, 45. Their brother Dean Simms, 42, was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of aggravated murder. Simms admitted the killings during a 911 call, saying he had been driven to the act by a lifetime of headaches and that he snapped.

Police reports say Simms had a history of domestic disputes with Cindy, including episodes when he was reportedly drunk and harassing her. The case shocked the quiet township of Hinckley and drew attention because such violence is rare there. Simms was held without bond and faced the possibility of life in prison or the death penalty if convicted.

If anyone knew Cindy, Ryan, or details about tensions in the family that could help explain what happened, please share what is known.
