Jay Trulon Reynolds, 29, was found brutally stabbed to death on March 22, 1983. Although he was killed in Lexington, Fayette County, his body was discovered in neighboring Madison County. Reynolds, born in Louisville on June 6, 1953, ran an ice cream shop in Lexington and had left home the night of March 21 to close his business; he was never seen alive again.

Investigators later linked Reynolds’ murder to a multi-state serial killing spree carried out between 1982 and 1984. The offender, Larry Eyler of Crawfordsville, Indiana, targeted young men and boys and frequently left bodies near interstate highways. Eyler was convicted in the murder of 16-year-old Daniel Bridges; while on death row he confessed to multiple other killings, including the murder of Jay Reynolds.

Did anyone in the Lexington area know Reynolds’ routines or remember seeing him the night of March 21?
