On April 2, 2016, Kentucky State Police troopers found the bodies of 52-year-old Michael Gartin and his 79-year-old stepmother Lois Peggy Gartin at a residence on Knob Branch in Blaine, Kentucky. Both had been fatally shot.

Investigators identified a relative, 48-year-old Stanley Webb Jr., as a suspect. Webb was said to have fled the scene in a Gartin family Jeep Cherokee and was arrested later that day in Columbus, Ohio, initially on charges of vehicle theft and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Two days after the discovery, he was charged with two counts of murder and was extradited to Kentucky on April 13, 2016, where he was booked with bond on the murder counts set at two million dollars.

Authorities did not release a clear motive at the time, and the community was left mourning and seeking answers. If anyone knew Michael or Lois Gartin, or has information about that April 2nd evening, please come forward.
