Robert W. Myers, a 78-year-old retired Phillip Morris USA employee and native of Louisville, was shot and killed at his Hammonsville Road property in Magnolia, Kentucky on Friday, July 29, 2022. Myers confronted three men who were taking items from his residence; he sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hart County Coroner’s Office.

Witnesses saw three white males leave in a U-Haul truck heading north on KY 357. Kentucky State Police and the Hart County Sheriff’s Office located the truck the next day and arrested two men from Elizabethtown — Cecil Daniels, 21, and Brandon M. Hodge, 31 — charging them with murder. A third Elizabethtown man, 65-year-old Dale E. Hodge, was arrested the following day and charged with complicity to murder; all three were lodged in jail.

A later court process resulted in guilty pleas and prison sentences for the three men. If anyone knew Robert Myers, his comings and goings, or observed activity at the Hammonsville Road property around July 29, 2022, please share what was seen.
