On June 30, 2009, 83-year-old Allie Habich and her 53-year-old daughter Rita Carrico were found murdered in Habich’s home on National Turnpike in the Fairdale area of Louisville, Kentucky. The victims had been stabbed multiple times; Habich’s son, who also lived at the residence, discovered the scene and investigators described it as gruesome and brutal. Carrico had gone to her mother’s house that morning to take her to a doctor’s appointment, but they never made it to the appointment.

The double homicide remains unsolved. Law enforcement has conducted numerous interviews over the years but no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. Investigators say the inquiry has faced challenges, including a lack of cooperation from some family members who retained legal counsel shortly after the murders. The family continues to seek justice.

Anyone with information about the Fairdale double homicide is asked to come forward.
