A landowner found a running vehicle on his Washington County property just off Bloomfield Road on the morning of June 14, 2016. Inside the car was 51‑year‑old Yul A. Rayford of Bardstown, slumped over in the driver’s seat with a single gunshot wound to the head. He was alive when found, airlifted to University Hospital, but died later that night. An autopsy confirmed a single gunshot wound as the cause of death and no weapon was recovered at the scene.

Investigators say Rayford had last been seen by a family member at his Bardstown home around 7:00 a.m. that day. The circumstances led authorities to open a homicide investigation; the Kentucky State Police have re‑examined evidence and made public appeals for information. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the area see Rayford’s vehicle or his movements that morning?
