Federal Bureau of Investigation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation appears in the account as an investigative authority called in after Billy was reported to have been severely injured at Lima State Hospital. Its documented role is limited to that inquiry, which was undertaken alongside the Ohio State Highway Patrol and was described as potentially leading to a grand jury submission.

Investigation at Lima

After attorney Steve Thompson visited Billy, the hospital administration reversed its earlier statement and confirmed that Billy had subsequently been severely injured. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ohio State Highway Patrol were then called to investigate for possible submission to the grand jury. The account does not specify the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s individual investigative steps or report an outcome from its involvement.
