Eight Years Later: The Unsolved Murder of UC Basketball Legend Tom Biedenharn

Community mourns, park stands, and investigators urge anyone with information to come forward

Eight years have passed since former University of Cincinnati basketball star Tom Biedenharn was found dead inside his home on Memorial Day 2018, yet his murder still haunts the quiet streets of Dearborn County.

A park that tells two stories

The memorial park, completed in 2022, blends tribute and recreation: a boulder bearing Biedenharn’s name shares space with a plaque for Hill, while a dog park and a winding mountain‑bike trail invite families and cyclists to enjoy the grounds.

The investigation

The Dearborn County Prosecutor’s office says the case involves more than one perpetrator and continues to seek new leads, urging anyone with information to step forward.

Voices from the past

Biedenharn’s daughter recalled how her father would slip a two‑dollar tip into conversation, a small gesture that kept dialogue open, while Adam Duwel, who worked with him on the park, described him as a “big teddy bear” whose kindness touched everyone.

A call for answers

As the anniversary approaches, investigators remain hopeful that fresh tips will crack the case, ensuring that the memory of Biedenharn and Hill is honored not only in stone but also in justice.
