Late on a Monday in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, 62-year-old Jimmy Dwayne Harvey was found dead in a chair at his home on Kentucky Route 321 with multiple gunshot wounds. Police had been summoned after 22-year-old Summer Adkins called 911 and told a dispatcher she had just shot her father. Adkins stayed at the scene, was taken into custody, and was charged with murder. An autopsy was ordered by the Floyd County Coroner to be performed by the state Medical Examiner’s Office.

During the preliminary hearing, witnesses testified that Harvey had sexually abused Summer Adkins as a child, and Adkins told police she shot him after learning a young relative was allegedly being abused by him. Detective Dennis M. Hutchinson led the investigation. A Floyd County grand jury later declined to indict Summer Adkins, saying they did not believe a jury would convict given the circumstances, and the prosecution ended. Jimmy Harvey’s sister, Tammy Adkins, was arrested at a court hearing after allegedly making threats against her niece.

Does anyone have information about the family’s history or what witnesses described at the preliminary hearing?
