On a quiet Tuesday afternoon in August 2016, 70-year-old Dorothy Neafus and her 71-year-old husband Kenneth Neafus were found dead inside their home on Richland Church Road in Morgantown, Kentucky. A family member who went to check on them discovered the bodies and the Kentucky State Police responded. Both victims had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and investigators determined foul play was involved.

Evidence at the scene suggested a robbery: a firearm and prescription medication were reported missing, and police said the perpetrator might have been injured during the incident. The Neafuses were described as well regarded in their community—Kenneth a retired pastor and Dorothy a retired Kroger employee known for quilting and cooking.

Investigators arrested Kevin Dye, a man in his mid-30s from the area; he was indicted by a Butler County grand jury on two counts of murder, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and receiving stolen property. In late 2018 Dye entered an Alford plea and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Did anyone in Morgantown know the Neafuses well enough to add details about their last days or the items taken from the house?
