David Clark, 66, was a retired pipe-fitter from Versailles, Kentucky, described by friends as fun-loving and devoted to his children and grandchildren. On June 14, 2020, officers responded to his home on Clifton Road and found him dead from a gunshot wound; his death was ruled a homicide and the Versailles Police Department opened an investigation.

After months with no public update, authorities in October 2020 arrested 64-year-old Vicki Brautigan in Centerville, Ohio. Investigators said Brautigan and Clark had previously been in a relationship. She was extradited to Kentucky and charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder, first-degree burglary, and tampering with physical evidence.

Brautigan later entered an Alford plea to an amended charge of manslaughter, acknowledging prosecutors had sufficient evidence to potentially convict. A mediation produced a joint recommendation of a 10-year sentence, but the judge rejected it and imposed 20 years instead. Does anyone have additional details about Clark’s life in Woodford County or information that could shed light on the case?
