== Biography ==

=== Early life ===
Brittany Gosney was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 2, 1992. Her parents separated when she was young and custody went to her father. Brittany lived with her father and his girlfriend until she was twelve years old and was found to be pregnant. The investigation into her pregnancy resulted in her admitting to being a victim of multiple counts of sexual abuse and she was immediately removed from her father's custody. Her mother still wasn't an option at that point and Brittany gave her baby up for adoption and was forced to live in foster and group homes throughout Ohio and Kentucky for the following six years. Upon Brittany's eighteenth birthday, she was legally and officially emancipated from the care and custody of the State of Ohio. Though the first child was a product of rape and was given up for adoption, when Brittany was just twenty years old she happily gave birth to her second child, another little girl she named Rachel. Two years later, and with yet another father, Brittany was pregnant again. The birth of her third child brought her first son, Lucas. One year later and with father number four, Brittany gave birth to James Robert Hutchinson. Little James would never know peace inside his home, as his mother was incapable of keeping a safe place for her children to live. When she and her current boyfriend, Lewis Hutchinson found themselves homeless once again, Lewis turned to his sister to ask for shelter for himself, Brittany, and the three children. Lewis' sister is Priscilla Hamilton, wife of James Hamilton. When it was noticed that Brittany and James were spending a bit too much time together, Priscilla confronted the two. After Brittany and James admitted to the affair, Priscilla threw them out of the house immediately and Hamilton took Brittany and the children to a hotel The three children were in and out of motel rooms and family homes and had just moved into the Crawford Street home on the first day of February 2021. The move into the Crawford Street home was everything Brittany had dreamed of, and an absolute nightmare for her children.


== Murder Of James Hutchinson ==
Brittany dressed the three kids in shoes, socks, hats, and jackets over their pajamas and loaded them up in the minivan she shared with James at three in the morning. It was decided that Brittany would take the three kids to Rush Run Wildlife Park in Somerville, Ohio, leave them tied up, and allow the coyotes to eat them. Brittany was initially unable to find the agreed-upon place at Rush Run and she called home to James, who told her to just turn around and "bring the little fuckers home" before she finally found the right spot. The parking lot that Brittany and James Hamilton chose to leave the kids in was for the boat dock and fishing area of Rush Run. There are no lights in the lot, and there is a single portable toilet beside the parking lot. There are no neighbors within hearing distance. Nobody to hear the children and their terrified screams. Brittany parked the van beside the portable toilet and instructed the children to get out. She told them that they all needed to go to the bathroom, that she would be right there when they came out. Rachel and Lucas did as they were told and got out of the van. Little James resisted, knowing that his mother was planning something nefarious. Brittany got out of the van and physically lifted James out, sitting him down on the pavement outside of the van and slamming the door shut before running back to the driver's seat and throwing the van into drive. A terrified six-year-old James screamed for his mother to not leave him and reached for the handle of the van door. As Brittany watched in the side view mirror as she accelerated away, little James fell to the ground, smacking the middle of his forehead. He mustered the strength the raise to his knees before collapsing once again to the pavement. Rachel and Lucas ran to aid their brother in the fading taillights of the van driven by the woman that bore them. For a horrifying thirty to forty-five minutes, nine-year-old Rachel and seven-year-old Lucas waited in the pitch-black night in below-freezing temperatures with their little brother dead at their feet before Brittany had her change of heart and returned to pick them up.

Brittany pulled back into the parking lot, her headlights illuminating the scene before her. A dead James was lying on the parking lot, one shoe missing and his glasses gone from his little face. Rachel and Lucas were scared, cold, and in shock. While Brittany picked up her six-year-old son's tiny, battered body and "nicely and easily" placed him on the backseat of the minivan, the other two children took the middle seats for the ride back to the home they shared with their mother and the man that claimed to investigators to be a loving stepfather. Once back at the Crawford Street home, Brittany carried little James back into the house and laid him on the floor of the living room, where he stayed until James Hamilton "got tired of looking at him" and moved James' body to the floor of his empty bedroom, directly under the window. The adults put the kids to bed and got some sleep themselves.

Upon waking the following morning, James and Brittany took down all of the video equipment, removed all of the guns he and Brittany had throughout the house, threw James' glasses into a five-gallon bucket with some other illegal odds and ends, and took it all to a garage that he broke into. James had apparently been breaking into the garage on a regular basis to hide things that were of importance to him but he didn't want to be caught with, and police gathered several items from the back corner of the garage. Once all of the evidence was gone, the only thing left was the body of James. Brittany put his hat back into his jacket pocket, put his shoe back on, and whisked him out the door. Without hesitation, the decision to drop little James off of a bridge and into the Ohio River was thought to be in everyone's best interest, and while the other two children still slept, James and Brittany loaded James' body into the minivan and drove away from the Crawford Street home.

Just under one hour later, James Hamilton pulled over to the side of the road and grabbed a block he had the forethought to steal from the alley behind his house. Using the very rope that the couple hogtied the children with the night before, James Hamilton tied the concrete block around the chest of little James. Hamilton and Gosney drove to the middle of the  Carroll Lee Cropper bridge and stopped the van. Brittany got out of the passenger seat and slid open the side door of the minivan while Hamilton climbed through the van to get to the back. Brittany grabbed her six-year-old son's feet, Hamilton grabbed his little body by the shoulders and the two of them heaved little James over the railing and into the Ohio River below. Brittany giggled about being able to hear little James hit the water as she assured Hamilton that it was over. Little James was gone forever.

After another hour's drive back to Middletown, James Hamilton and Brittany Gosney walked into the Middletown Division of Police and calmly reported James Robert Hutchinson missing. The detectives immediately knew something was wrong. Parents don't calmly walk into a police station and report their child missing. The report is most often made in a panicked 911 call, and most parents wouldn't dare leave an empty house, lest the child comes wandering back home. While the police went to the Crawford Street home and picked up the other two children that were left alone in the home sleeping, multiple agencies responded to the search for little James including 50 volunteers from Northstar International and Ohio Land Search and Rescue, a helicopter, and mobile command unit, as well as from the Sherriff's Office Emergency Services Unit (ERS). With Gosney and Hamilton separated in interrogation rooms with different detectives speaking to them, the real story started to come together. It didn't take long for the couple to flip on one another and start pointing fingers, turning the search effort for little James into a recovery effort so that he could finally rest in peace. The Ohio River was raging and though Middletown detectives along with other agencies and private citizen volunteers have spent countless hours searching for any trace of James Robert Hutchinson to no avail.

Hutchinson’s mother, Brittany Gosney, 29, and her boyfriend, James Hamilton, 42, are both faced charges in the death of young James. Gosney faced preliminary charges of murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. Hamilton has been charged with the abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. James Hamilton would plead guilty in August of 2021, to gross abuse of a corpse and two counts of child endangering. Though he freely admitted to investigators that he hogtied, hit, kicked, and punched all three of the children, James only received nineteen years in prison. The judge addressed James, saying that the hands that murdered and then dumped little James Robert Hutchinson into the Ohio River were "unholy hands" and couldn't be anything more than evil. Gosney pleaded guilty to one count of murder and two counts of child endangering and was sentenced to life in prison with the eligibility for parole after twenty-one years. Should Brittany achieve parole, she will be required to register as a violent offender for the remainder of her life.

Rachel and Lucas were placed into foster care and are doing quite well. As of this writing, the body of James Robert Hutchinson has yet to be recovered.
