Kimberly Hall was strangled to death and then her battered and bruised body was dumped in the middle of the road.

The 45-year-old Bedford man charged in one killing and under investigation for the slaying of two other people made his initial court appearance Wednesday.

Robert Rembert Jr. held his head high as Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Charles S. Patton ordered him held on $1 million bond on an aggravated murder charge.

Cleveland police accused him of strangling 31-year-old Kimberly Hall to death and dumping her bruised body in the middle of East 83rd Street near Kinsman Road on June 10.

Investigators also consider Rembert a “person of interest” in the Saturday slaying of his cousin, Jerry Rembert, and longtime family friend Morgan Nietzel. They were found dead inside Jerry Rembert’s East 140th Street home, police said.

Detectives obtained an arrest warrant Friday charging Rembert in Hall’s death. The next morning, family members found Jerry , 52, and Nietzel, 26, shot dead. Nietzel’s red Saturn Vue was also missing.

Medina County sheriff’s deputies found the Saturn at a Pilot Flying J in Seville Monday. Robert Rembert was driving the SUV, and he was arrested on the murder warrant.

Cleveland police are investigating Rembert’s ties to the double shooting. Deputy chief Ed Tomba called Robert Rembert a person of interest in the double-killing, and said there were “some family issues” related to the killing at a Monday press conference.
