On October 7, 2000, the remains of 27-year-old Heather Wright were found in a stream that feeds into the Kentucky River near Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Investigators determined she had been violently strangled. Wright was identified as a female who had been working as a sex worker.

The investigation led to the arrest of Rodney Troy Bixler on November 1, 2000; he was charged with Wright’s murder and other offenses. Bixler had a prior criminal record that included a 1999 acquittal on rape and sodomy charges involving a 17-year-old and a 1999 conviction for misuse of an ATM card, for which he served about six months in jail.

In 2008 Bixler entered an Alford plea to two counts of murder that included Heather Wright’s death and received two consecutive 20-year sentences. Did anyone in the Lawrenceburg area remember Heather or have information about her last known movements?
