Traci Michele Trasky, 42, was found dead in her Scottsville home on Stamps Road on the evening of February 18, 2026. A 12-year-old boy was also found deceased at the same residence. Authorities from the Allen County Sheriff’s Office discovered the bodies and the Kentucky State Police took over the investigation, which is being treated as a double homicide.

Investigators noted Ms. Trasky’s vehicle was missing from the home. The car was soon located unoccupied on Pleasant Field Church Road in Allen County. With help from the Scottsville Police Department and a drone, officers observed a person running through woods nearby; a 17-year-old male juvenile was taken into custody after a short foot pursuit.

After interviews, the juvenile was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence, theft by unlawful taking of an automobile, and first-degree fleeing or evading police on foot. Funeral services for Traci Michele Trasky were scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026.

Does anyone in the area have information about the Stamps Road residence, the vehicle, or the events of February 18?
