While Bull Sharks have been seen in the Mississippi River as far north as Illinois, there are rare documented sightings in the Ohio River. Because of the system of dams and locks on the Ohio (21 total dams), it would be very difficult, but not impossible, for one of the rare sharks that makes it that far up the Mississippi to navigate the locks and go into the Ohio. Many of the locks are no longer in use, and sharks have been found in the Ohio River/tributaries - it's just very very rare. Latest one was September 2014 near Manchester, and it was a bull shark about a year old.
