Ohio 1972 Cold Case Solved — Arrest Shocks Community
51 years ago, 12-year-old Brad Lee Bellino left his best friend’s house in Boardman and started the three-mile walk home he had made dozens of times before. He never arrived. Four days later, his body was discovered inside a dumpster behind Isaly's Dairy Store at Boardman Plaza. The case shocked the entire community and remained unsolved for more than five decades. For 51 years, investigators searched for answers. DNA evidence was preserved, cold case detectives refused to give up, and eventually forensic genetic genealogy identified the man responsible: Joseph Norman Hill Sr.. But the story did not end there. The same DNA evidence later connected Hill to another murdered boy from Boardman, leading Ohio officials to publicly describe him as a serial killer.
