Devin J. Payton, 33, of Georgetown, was found dead under the Slate Creek Bridge in Montgomery County in the summer of 2016 after a fisherman discovered his body. Investigators traced the killing to a cabin off Ky. 11 in Wolfe County, where Payton reportedly was shot following a fight. A second victim, 25-year-old Brandy N. Davidson of Stanton, was found in a wooded area outside that same cabin.

State police named two primary suspects: Eugene E. Wade Jr., 28, of Shelbyville, and Devante L. Hall, 24, of Dayton, Ohio, and warned both should be considered armed and dangerous. Two other people, Talmadge Branham, 25, of Jeffersonville, and Carla Hunt, 31, of Salt Lick, were arrested on charges of tampering with physical evidence; authorities say they cleaned blood from a rental car used to move Payton’s body, drove the suspects to Lexington, then washed the vehicle in Winchester before returning it in Mount Sterling.

Does anyone have information about the Wolfe County cabin, the people named, or movements between Lexington, Winchester and Mount Sterling that summer?
