Calvin Lee Phillips, 59, was found shot to death inside his South Main Street home in Pembroke, Kentucky, on November 19, 2015. On the same day, two other people — identified as his wife Pamela Phillips and neighbor Edward Dansereau — were discovered shot and their burned remains found in a scorched car in a cornfield a few miles from town.

Investigators eventually focused on a former neighbor, Christian Richard Martin, an American Airlines pilot and 30-year Army veteran. Authorities say the killings were linked to a court-martial in which Calvin Phillips was to be a witness; prosecutors alleged the murders were intended to prevent that testimony and that Martin suspected an affair between his ex-wife and Calvin Phillips.

Christian Martin was arrested in May 2019 and later indicted on three counts of murder and related charges. In June 2021 a jury returned guilty verdicts and he was sentenced to life in prison. Does anyone have information about Calvin Phillips, his movements in Pembroke, or leads that were important in this investigation?
