His name was reduced to whispers once he was sent off to prison.
He killed his parents. He praised Satan. He made a kill list. He scared us. So, he was then found competent to be charged as an adult for two counts of aggravated murder, and he was deemed guilty, went away, and the horror was finally, finally over.
For 30 years anyway.
In mid-2023, LEDE News reported first that the Ohio’s Parole Board had approved parole eligibility for Nathan Brooks for the first time since his conviction, and in July, the agency scheduled Nathan Brooks for his eligibility hearing for mid-November.
That’s when the public ended its collective silence to proclaim its strong opposition, posting messages like, “Let him rot,” “Send him to the chair,” and “he should never be allowed out.”
And Belmont County Prosecutor Kevin Flanagan told LEDE, “We believed that, given the offense that occurred in 1995, there was no way that parole should be granted this time, the next time, or ever.”
According to his Offender Details Page, Brooks will become eligible for his second parole hearing in June 2035, but for now, the double murderer will remain lodged in Ohio’s London Correctional Institution in Madison County, Ohio.
