Narrative:

I was working small transport X from gunne intersection to 3i9 and small transport Y from mnn to cmh. Y had climbed to 4000' off of mnn and was on a vector for a visual approach to cmh. X was proceeding direct to ape and had been descend to 4000' and was level at 4000'. I handed X off to another radar controller for descent to 3000' and the approach. Sometime later the other controller said something to the effect of what were those 2 aircraft doing. I looked and called traffic to Y. The other controller descend X to 3000' and told me X had Y in sight, and he instructed X to maintain visual sep. Y said he did not see the traffic and continued to cmh. The closest the aircraft got to each other was 2.25 mi.

X WAS PROCEEDING DIRECT TO APE AND HAD BEEN DSND TO 4000' AND WAS LEVEL AT 4000'. I HANDED X OFF TO ANOTHER RADAR CTLR FOR DSCNT TO 3000' AND THE APCH.

THE OTHER CTLR DSND X TO 3000' AND TOLD ME X HAD Y IN SIGHT, AND HE INSTRUCTED X TO MAINTAIN VISUAL SEP. Y SAID HE DID NOT SEE THE TFC AND CONTINUED TO CMH.
