On the morning of March 8, 2015, firefighters responding to a house fire on Slate Ridge Road in Lily, Kentucky, discovered that 62-year-old Donnie Wayne Jackson and his 58-year-old wife, Sharon Faye Jackson, had been shot to death before the blaze was set. The couple were pronounced dead at the scene; investigators estimated the killings occurred at about 8 a.m., a couple of hours before the fire was reported. Sharon was found in the living room and Donnie in a back bedroom.

The incident was treated as a double homicide with the fire believed to have been deliberately started to conceal the crime. Investigators pursued a theory of a home invasion and robbery. In September 2016 two men, Bradley Justin Lawson and Christian Roberts, were indicted on charges that included murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree arson and tampering with physical evidence; a reward had been offered for information leading to arrest and conviction.

Prosecutors later dismissed the charges in September 2018 without prejudice after key witness testimony changed and a statement to police was suppressed, and there was no physical evidence linking the two men to the scene. The case remains unresolved. Does anyone have information about the Jacksons, their home on Slate Ridge Road, or the events that morning?
