I live in Louisville and have followed these stories because I find them fascinating. I don't believe there's been much of anything in the way of an update. No update on Ellis and nothing on Rogers and her Dad. Crazy.

Corrupt little town. You can't tell me that in a town of that size that there's not one person who doesn't know what happened.

Maybe even have a top notch Sleuthing crew come in. If they can't solve this, no Backwoods ,KY hilljack will.

If I'm not mistaken, there was supposed to be an update on the case of the mother/daughter that was killed...don't remember seeing anything the past day or so in it. Mother was a teacher and daughter was 16.

The same crack crew of detectives that are looking into the December shooting of two UL football players and a cheerleader have been asked to assist in this case. Both cases should be solved in no time.

Isn't the wife of the dead cop ROMANTICALLY involved now with the (former) chief of police? (who was chief at the time of the murder )

Could just be a rumor idk

All the murders are connected, right? Ellis, the teacher and her daughter, and then the girl and her dad. Ellis was definitely a "hit" which tells me he was onto something. I am assuming it has to be all drug related. And someone higher up has to want to keep that info from getting out whether mayor, police chief, or someone else.

This is the one you don't hear much about but it is the strangest. If they're all drug related, how were they involved? Seems to me to be like "In Cold Blood" type crime or a professional hit. I doubt that the whole story will ever be told but I'd like to hear it.

The police chief was fired two weeks ago by the interim mayor for having an "unfriendly" work environment because something like a quarter of the police officers have quit the force in the past year. When the original police chief quit last year after the mayor "re-organized" the police department without telling him, the assistant chief Captain Roby destroyed a ton of case files including drug case files, disciplinary actions, employee files, and deleted everything off his computer. Charges were filed but I don't think it's gone to court yet.

Just don't get how the FBI doesn't drop the hammer if they are in fact involved....they are Team NF's when it comes to small town cop murder drug corruption shenanigans.....I would think.

Pretty sure it's going to take a Netflix original series to figure out what happened.

FALSE on Roby. I do believe at least part of it all is connected. I know the former chief he is a good man, was a US Marshall under bush.

What would be the federal jurisdiction that would bring FBI in?

* I have no legal background *

I would think on the grounds of police corruption....obviously the local police can't/won't go after themselves, my wild *** guess is the state police is next in line then federal, either on their own or at the request of the state troopers.

I guess another way to put it: who else would be more logical to investigate police corruption?

* I have no legal background *

Is this also the same area where the guy got shot about a year ago that was out hunting in an open field, as he was leaving? I remember there was also strange circumstances surrounding that shooting from the stories I read at the time.

The E-Town state police post has been helping with that investigation for some time. But the case has gone rather cold and they are overloaded with other cases...so they are no longer actively helping with their own personnel. But they (E-Town state police) have hired two retired state troopers to assist with the investigation into the Bardstown shenanigans...which includes the murders, the missing person, and the "hunting accident".

It seems to be a consensus on who is behind this stuff, but apparently the criminals are too smart or Barney Fife is the head of the investigation.

Never a dull moment in this town, just seen on the news that the girlfriend of Brooks Houck, was arrested for stealing signs in yards and beside the road about the missing Crystal Rogers. SMH Ironically enough, she is also a blonde named Crystal

I saw that tonight on the news and thought damn, his new girlfriend looks similar to the former and has the same name.
