Over 100 people attended a vigil for a Middletown child who was allegedly killed by his mother. The community released balloons, lit candles and held a moment of silence at the vigil at Gardner Park Monday evening.
James Robert Hutchinson was reported missing on Sunday to Middletown police, but detective interviews with the boy’s mother, Brittany Gosney, 29, and James Hamilton, 42, determined James was killed a few days before in Preble County. The child’s body was returned to Middletown and later put in the Ohio River, according to Middletown police. NICK GRAHAM / STAFF
