Thomas Dillon was an Ohio serial murderer whose 1989 to 1992 shooting spree included the killing of Claude A. Hawkins. The FBI's Cincinnati Field Office opened a murder matter after Hawkins was shot while fishing near Wills Creek Dam on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property in Coshocton County, Ohio. The released records include the opening memorandum dated March 18, 1992, index-search material, autopsy follow-up, interviews with Hawkins's relatives and co-workers, and a sheriff's department transcript of an interview with his wife. They document investigators' early efforts to establish the federal location of the killing, reconstruct Hawkins's background and last known activities, and identify possible motives or suspects.
