Ohio Prosecutors To Retry Tennessee Man In 1985 Case - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports

WAUSEON, Ohio (AP) - A Tennessee man charged with the fatal beating of a girl in northwest Ohio in 1985 will go on trial again after his first trial ended in a hung jury.

A new trial is set for mid-September for 45-year-old Walter Zimbeck of Strawberry Plains, Tennessee.

Zimbeck was 18 when the body of his 14-year-old former girlfriend, Lori Ann Hill, was found after a party near Toledo. Zimbeck was accused of the killing in 2009 after a detective looked into the cold case.

Jurors spent three days deliberating the case earlier this month before deciding they could not come up with a verdict.
