Hope you like it, big bubba. You going to get what's coming to you. You son of a
00:00:05
You're not above the law. If you've never heard of Amber Spradlin's case, well then you're
00:00:14
probably not from Eastern Kentucky. Because in Floyd County, this case is all people are talking about. For over a
00:00:22
year, this could have been considered a whodunit. Six people went into a house. One ends up dead. One is covered in
00:00:29
blood and failed a polygraph. The one with scratches left the house right around when the murder is thought to
00:00:35
have happened. Two others don't seem to be talking to police at all. And at least one is talking, but says that when
00:00:43
she went to bed that night, everyone was fine. And a camera that was pointed right at where the crime took [music]
00:00:49
place and should have made this an open and shut case is missing. But some people in town never considered this a
00:00:57
whodunit. They believe that the person police [music] arrested, the one that's about to go to trial here any day, did
00:01:04
the crime he's charged with. A brutal murder of a young woman who had already been dealt one of the toughest hands in
00:01:10
life. But there are still so many questions. Mainly, why? 38-year-old Amber Spradlin hardly knew
00:01:18
these people. Why would someone [music] slit her throat, stab her in the face, and leave her dead covered in blood on
00:01:25
the couch till morning? And why would a police chief, unconnected to the investigation, allegedly tell Amber's
00:01:33
family that she wasn't murdered at all and just died [music] by aspiration? Something in Floyd County stinks. And
00:01:41
based on what we found, this might just be [music] scratching the surface of what's been happening there. So, with
00:01:49
the trial right around the corner, we're trying to [music] make sense of what happened to Amber Spradlin that night in
00:01:56
June of 2023.
