Overview
- Dameon Huffman, 4, feigned sleep as the intruder stood in his doorway, then ran to preschool covered in blood and told staff his loved ones were “melting.”
- Detectives used a scale-model house and dolls to help Dameon recount events, including his remark “I heard a click,” which indicated his bedroom door opening.
- Police found a shotgun with its serial number removed in a nearby stream and traced the sale through records naming Greg Myers as the buyer.
- Investigators recovered a bag from the stream containing a green jumpsuit, latex gloves, and tennis shoes, and a fingerprint on a glove matched Myers.
- Prosecutors cited financial motive as Myers denied ownership of key items and claimed an alibi, and a jury convicted him in 2004; he is serving two life sentences without parole at Ohio’s Marion Correctional Institution.
