Casey Joe Embry was 30 when his life ended on the evening of Saturday, July 7, 2018. His body was found on the side of Griffith Station Road near Ben Hawes State Park in Owensboro, Kentucky, and the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office determined he had been fatally shot in the back.

Embry was a husband and father of four — Emma, Landon, Ryder, and Kasie — and was remembered as an avid fisherman and a member of Providence Baptist Church. Born August 23, 1987, in Farmington, Missouri, he was survived by his wife Felicia, their children, his mother, and siblings. In the days after the shooting investigators named 37-year-old Phillip Hobdy a person of interest; Hobdy was located and arrested on Tuesday, July 17 and charged with Embry’s murder. Tips from the community assisted the investigation.
