Kenneth Neafus, 71, and his wife Dorothy were found dead in their rural Morgantown, Kentucky home on Richland Church Road on August 9, 2016. Kenneth, a retired pastor who had served at Little Muddy Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and his wife were discovered by a family member. The coroner determined both died of gunshot wounds, and the deaths were ruled a double homicide.

Investigators noted a firearm and prescription medication were missing from the residence and considered robbery a possible motive. Evidence at the scene led detectives to focus on a local man, Kevin Dye. In September 2016 a Butler County grand jury indicted Dye on multiple counts, including two counts of murder, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, receiving stolen property, and being a persistent felony offender. In December 2018 Dye entered an Alford plea, permitting conviction without an admission of guilt, and the court later imposed life without parole.
