In the Pleasure Ridge Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, 50-year-old Paula Rife was shot and killed inside her home on the 6300 block of Hackel Drive on the evening of March 18, 2022. Officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department responded just before 10 p.m. and the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed she died of a gunshot wound.

The investigation quickly focused on her husband, 51-year-old Samuel David Bradford. Neighbors reported hearing the gunfire and seeing Bradford speed away on a motorcycle. Detectives recovered several shell casings both inside and outside the Rife home, and Bradford was detained that night at a Taco Bell on Greenwood Road following a disturbance where he allegedly attacked employees. He was found in possession of two of his wife’s prescription bottles and was charged with murder, domestic violence, and wanton endangerment; he pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $1 million.
