Johnny R. Ball Arrest Details
Ball Arrested In Fulton Family Murder Case. “According to Washington County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Unit Detective Jeff Seevers, a “person of interest” was indicted and arrested in connection to the Fulton case. That person is Johnny R. Ball from Washington County. Court records list Ball as 62 years old and show his address as a post office box in Beverly. The bodies of Kimberly Fulton, 28, and her 17-month-old son Daniel Fulton were discovered after a mobile-home fire in Palmer Township on March 5, 1995. An autopsy later revealed the Fultons died before the fire was set and led investigators to believe the fire was started to cover up the murders. Ball was indicted May 15 on five third-degree felony counts of perjury and one third-degree felony count of obstructing justice, according to Ball’s indictment. Washington County Common Pleas Court records show that a warrant for Ball’s arrest was issued May 15.” [Marieta Times]
Fulton Family Bodies Found In 1995. “Kimberly Fulton and Daniel Fulton’s bodies were discovered after a fire in a mobile home in Palmer Towmship on March 5, 1995, but further investigation showed they died before the fire, which investigators assume was set to cover up their murder. The case had one arrest of Scott Hickman of Waterford in 1995 but he was released for lack of evidence. The case was cold until it was reopened in 2019. Hickman was indicted in October 2021 on four counts of aggravated murder and two counts of murder for his involvement in the death of the Fulton. No other arrests had been made in the case until the arrest of Ball yesterday.” [Marieta Times]
