On August 16, 2014, 8-year-old Trinity Janae Maynard was found dead in her grandmother’s home in Inez, Kentucky. Firefighters responding to a blaze at Tina Yvonne Goble’s residence discovered Trinity alongside Goble, 42, and Goble’s boyfriend, Cainie Johnson Jr., 46. Autopsies determined all three had been killed before the fire was set; each victim sustained both gunshot and stab wounds.

Investigators arrested two Inez residents, Jack D. Smith, 41, and Amanda Bowen, 26, charging them with three counts of murder and one count of first-degree robbery. Authorities allege items were taken from the home, including medication and jewelry. Prosecutors stated an intention to seek the death penalty for both defendants.

The killings devastated the small Martin County community, particularly given Trinity’s age. If anyone knew the victims, the household, or saw suspicious activity around the home in mid-August 2014, please share what was noticed.
