The Devil in Bellaire: Nathan Brooks and the Murder of His Parents

In 1995, 17-year-old Nathan Brooks promised his classmates he’d be “famous by Saturday.” What no one realized was just how horrifyingly true that would become. On September 30th, in Bellaire, Ohio, Nathan murdered his parents in what he believed was a satanic ritual — shooting and decapitating his father, stabbing and bludgeoning his mother, and leaving behind a chilling hit list of names that included his own brother. The brutality of the crime shook the entire town, cancelling Halloween and sparking decades of fear and questions about how no one stopped him sooner. Almost thirty years later, Nathan Brooks is serving a life sentence but is now eligible for parole. Has he changed, or are some crimes too horrific for second chances? Join me as we unpack the warning signs, the murders, the trial, and the ongoing debate over whether the so-called “Devil in Bellaire” should ever walk free again.
