On the evening of Monday, December 10, 2018, three members of a Leslie County family were killed in Yeaddiss, Kentucky. Sixty-four-year-old Larry Bowling, a retired coal miner and lifelong resident of Leslie County, and his 61-year-old wife Norma Bowling were found shot to death inside their home. Their 38-year-old son Chad Bowling was found outside a neighboring residence, also deceased from gunshot wounds. Autopsies confirmed all three died of gunshot wounds.

Kentucky State Police in Hazard were alerted to possible shots fired in the Wolf Creek Road area just before 7:00 p.m. While responding, a trooper’s cruiser was intentionally rammed by another vehicle; the driver fired at the trooper and then fled on foot. Investigators later identified 52-year-old Paul Douglas Sizemore as the person who fired at the trooper and named him a suspect in the triple homicide. Sizemore surrendered to a state police lieutenant in the Cutshin community on the morning of December 12, 2018, and was charged with three counts of murder and attempted murder of a police officer.

Did anyone in the area know the Bowling family or have information about events that night?
