I appreciate the advances in forensic technology on cases especially like this. There is clear evidence linking suspect to the murder and it almost impossible to hide from that. Great police work!

Paul D. Devitt, 49, was shot and killed February 4, 2014, in Washington Township, Ohio. His body was found under a trailer at Hayden Heights Mobile Home Park on Cosgray Road. Reports say he had been shot multiple times.

Investigators identified 42-year-old Brian L. Jones as the prime suspect and arrested him three days after Devitt’s body was found. Devitt’s stolen SUV was located in the parking lot of a hotel where Jones was staying. Devitt’s blood was reportedly found on a pair of jeans belonging to Jones; Jones admitted being present when Devitt was shot but blamed two acquaintances who later had alibis confirmed by cellphone records. Jones pleaded guilty to murder and aggravated robbery in Franklin County Common Pleas Court and was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 18 years. Devitt’s widow, Wendy Devitt, read a victim-impact statement at sentencing; Devitt left a widow and three daughters.

If anyone remembers seeing Paul, his SUV, or activity near Hayden Heights Mobile Home Park in early February 2014, please share what you know.
