Two more sentences handed down in 2022 kidnapping, murder of Toledo teens

Corbin Gingrich and Carrissa Eames were both sentenced Tuesday for their role in the deaths of Ke’Marion Wilder, 16, and Kyshawn Pittman, 15, in December 2022.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Two more sentences were handed down Tuesday in the 2022 kidnapping and murder of two Toledo teens.

After pleading guilty in May to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of kidnapping, Corbin Gingrich was sentenced to 20-25 years in prison.

Carrissa Eames was sentenced to a minimum of 12 years in prison after she pleaded guilty in June to two counts of complicity in the commission of felonious assault and two counts of complicity in the commission of kidnapping.

Brent Kohlhoffer and Charles Walker were sentenced last month to life in prison without possibility of parole on aggravated murder, murder and kidnapping charges in the deaths of Ke’Marion Wilder, 16, and Kyshawn Pittman, 15.

Multiple others have been found guilty of charges in the case and received sentences.

Wilder and Pittman disappeared on Dec. 3, 2022, setting off an investigation that led to the discovery of their bodies in the remnants of a burned, vacant north Toledo house.

According to Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney Julia Bates, the two teenagers had attended a birthday party at Maumee Bay State Park and been asked to leave. They then went to a home in Toledo, where they played video games in the basement until the two were confronted about a theft.

During the confrontation, Wilder and Pittman were beaten and bound, the prosecutor's office said, before they were transported via vehicle to a third, unknown location, where they were killed.

The teens were taken back to a home on Chase Street, where their bodies were later discovered by authorities following a house fire on Dec. 15, 2022.

The Lucas County Coroner determined the teens had been killed prior to the fire.
