Julie Griffith, 55, was found dead in her Reidland, Kentucky, home on January 17, 2014, after firefighters were called to extinguish a blaze at the Tudor Boulevard residence. Fire crews discovered Julie’s body and the bodies of her two dogs. An autopsy later determined Julie had been shot three times at close range in the chest, and investigators concluded the fire was deliberately set to conceal the killing.

Suspicion centered on Julie’s husband of 36 years, Keith Griffith. Reports say he was at a hotel in another part of Kentucky when the fire was reported and told authorities he was shocked and devastated. Detectives developed evidence that included surveillance footage showing a vehicle matching his truck in the neighborhood shortly before the fire and information that he was having an extramarital relationship and believed his wife stood between him and a new life.

Keith Griffith was arrested and indicted on charges including murder, first-degree arson, and tampering with physical evidence. The initial trial in February 2015 ended in a hung jury, producing a mistrial. What else is known about Julie’s life or movements in Reidland before January 17, 2014, that could help explain what happened?
