I thought they had the person that is responsible for this already, he is charged with murder and attempted murder (the wife)

VB, I'm not seeing any articles or documentation indicating an arrest. Do you have a link to anything?

I know, and I find that weird. But I personally know the person that committed this horrific senseless crime.

Did you want to give their name? There would have to be an arrest record.

Maybe there is a reason it hasn’t been made public. The person is in prison on unrelated charges, but I know he has been charged and is going to court in Jefferson co for this murder.

Gordon McCallum Ritchie, a 78-year-old White man and Vietnam War veteran, was found dead of a gunshot wound inside his home on the 15000 block of Dixie Highway in Valley Station, Louisville, on the night of July 21, 2024. Officers arrived after a trouble call at about 9:15 p.m. and the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit is leading the investigation.

Neighbors reported that Ritchie’s Kia SUV was stolen during the incident, and police have not publicly identified any suspects or made arrests. Ritchie was known locally as a dedicated farmer, a churchgoer, and one of the voices behind the 18-foot Freddy Farm Bureau figure at the Kentucky State Fair; friends remembered him as kind and faithful.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the department’s anonymous tip line.
