On May 9, 2014, two armed men posing as police officers forced their way into the home of 29-year-old Donald Mills in the Stinking Creek community of Scalf, Kentucky. A struggle between Mills and one of the intruders ended when Mills was shot; he was taken to Knox County Hospital by his wife and pronounced dead on arrival. Authorities said the attack was not random.

Investigators determined the intruders were seeking oxycodone pills Mills was known to sell. During the robbery Mills’ pregnant wife and children were held at gunpoint while the house was ransacked. The probe recovered the murder weapon and surveillance footage showing one suspect buying plastic handcuffs hours earlier.

Five people were arrested in connection with the killing: Patrick B. Baker, Christopher Bradley Wagner, Elijah Messer, Angela Mills, and Stephanie Smith. Patrick Baker was convicted in state court of reckless homicide and related charges and received a lengthy sentence; federal authorities later pursued separate charges in connection with the killing. If anyone knew Donald Mills, his household, or saw suspicious activity in Scalf around May 9, 2014, please share what you know.
