On April 22, 2014, 48-year-old special education teacher Kathy Netherland and her 16-year-old daughter Samantha were found dead in their Bardstown, Kentucky, home on Springfield Road after Kathy failed to report to Bardstown Elementary School. Both victims showed extreme violence: Kathy died from multiple gunshot wounds and had her throat slit; Samantha had been bludgeoned, stabbed, and also had her throat slit. Autopsies and scene reports indicate the pair were tortured before their deaths, and there were no signs of forced entry.

Investigators recovered surveillance footage showing a black Chevrolet Impala near the Netherland home around the time the murders are believed to have occurred; authorities released an image of the vehicle to the public but it has not produced an arrest. Kentucky State Police followed various leads, including an anonymous inmate tip alleging a gang initiation, a theory disputed by Kathy’s sister, who believes Samantha may have been the primary target given the particular savagery of her killing. No arrests have been announced and a $50,000 reward remains posted for information leading to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about a black Chevrolet Impala seen in Bardstown on or around April 22, 2014, or memories of anything unusual in the neighborhood that week?
