Ada Pearl McQuinn, 66, and her husband Robert McQuinn, 70, were found fatally shot in their home on Wilson Lane in Booneville, Kentucky, on May 6, 2016. Ada had limited mobility after a prior stroke; the couple had moved to Booneville from Indianapolis nine years earlier. Their daughter Cristina discovered the bodies that morning and the Owsley County Coroner pronounced both deceased at the scene. Kentucky State Police said the shootings occurred in the early hours of the day.

Suspicion fell on another daughter, 48-year-old Lynette R. McQuinn, also known as Renee. She was taken into custody the same day and charged with two counts of murder and tampering with physical evidence. Text messages reportedly placed her at the parents’ home around 1:20 a.m. A 9mm Ruger, believed to be the murder weapon, was recovered in a field near the scene. Cristina told authorities Lynette had a history of mental illness and had recently stopped taking medication and had been forced from the home days earlier. Lynette was later released temporarily because of an indictment delay and then arrested again on burglary, disorderly conduct and controlled substance charges after breaking into the deceased parents’ home.

Does anyone have further information about the timeline the night of May 5–6 or about the recovered firearm?
