00:04:13
[Music] crime [Music] it's been nearly two weeks since a waitress at a popular restaurant in
00:04:43
Eastern Kentucky was found dead and tonight her family says they're patiently waiting for the investigation
00:04:47
to play out and in the meantime as 13 news reporter Lane ball explains they're raising some questions about a possible
00:04:54
Communication Breakdown at a time when she needed help the most and Amber spin's loved ones were
00:05:01
emotional as they gave details on how she died she was stabbed at least 11 times in her head her neck and her
00:05:10
throat I can't imagine what she was going through and how she was feeling and it is it is horrible but that's not
00:05:18
all they shared Thursday afternoon during a press conference outside of the Floyd County
00:05:23
Courthouse some members of the community who were there to show support Thursday
00:05:27
have questioned how long it's taken to figure out what happened at a home in Martin nearly 2 weeks ago but the family
00:05:34
says they have regular contact with the Kentucky State Police Troopers and do not want to rush their investigation
00:05:40
process when they are ready to release it to us they will you know that's you know and I want them to do their job the
00:05:48
best possible way that they could you know I want them to do it correctly so that way we get the right person that
00:05:54
did this while they wait for answers they're calling into question possible confusion with the 911 system their
00:06:00
concern that calls requesting help did not get through to the closest law enforcement agency if our 911 system has
00:06:07
failed her then at least she's too it's too late for her but at least it might help another family and that's why this
00:06:15
is so important you know I wouldn't wish this on anybody to have to go through Floyd County Fiscal Court documents say
00:06:23
in December 2022 the decision to move the call center from the Kentucky State Police post to the city of prestonburg
00:06:30
was because of an increase in service fees now they've launched a petition to move the call center back to the
00:06:36
Kentucky State Police post a family heartbroken wanting answers and changes but willing to be
00:06:44
patient until investigators have all the pieces to this puzzle reporting in prestonburg Lane ball 13
00:06:53
[Music] News [Music] you heard it there in that clip there we have trouble in East Kentucky and people
00:07:14
are emailing True Crime garage asking us to cover this case this is a very aggravating and upsetting case Amber
00:07:22
Spradlin 39 years old of prestonburg killed at a supposed friend's home just over a month ago the original article
00:07:34
that comes out in this case Captain is from the June 21 through 23 Chronicle and times out of Floyd County Kentucky
00:07:44
with a headline KSP Foul Play suspected in Floyd woman's death and the article reads Kentucky State Police said june9
00:07:54
they suspect foul play in the death of a Preston Berg woman according to a statement KSP Post 9 was notified of a
00:08:04
deceased female on June 18 at a residence on Arkansas Creek in the Martin community of Floyd County KSP
00:08:13
Troopers and investigators responded to the residents on Arkansas Creek in reference to the incident the initial
00:08:21
investigation indicated Amber Spradlin age 39 of prestonburg had suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of
00:08:29
suspected Foul Play the statement said spadin was pronounced dead at the scene by the Floyd County coroner's office and
00:08:39
detective Justin wman is leading the investigation and was assisted on scene by KSP Personnel this is a case that if
00:08:47
you're not in this area you may not have heard of but it's making big news in East Kentucky and the reason being is
00:08:55
there's a lot of mystery that surrounds this case first of all the information that's coming out
00:09:01
they're not releasing hardly any information regarding this homicide and and this is a very violent homicide you
00:09:09
heard that in today's trailer the woman you heard describing the injuries is a relative of Amber Spradlin the other
00:09:18
reason why this is made such big news is it's calling into question the 911 response system and setup there in
00:09:27
Floyd County Kentucky now I believe that we know why they are holding so much information close to the
00:09:37
vest in this case and we'll get into that as we go through the case but we need to point out here that we had a
00:09:44
huge response from our audience and a very much needed call to action here in this case well rightfully so I think we
00:09:54
have some public outrage you have a lady that was at a party have several eyewitnesses
00:09:59
she is murdered they don't respond to the scene fast enough which maybe could have saved her life and there is nobody
00:10:08
arrested there's nobody held accountable for these actions as of yet 39-year-old Amber Spradlin was laid to
00:10:17
rest her funeral was June 24th at Davidson Memorial Gardens huge outpour from the community and a lot of people
00:10:26
in the community reaching out to her family with words of kindness and prayer and hoping the best for this family this
00:10:35
case is crazy and I'll tell you why I'm not going to sit here and try to walk some kind of Fine Line because we have
00:10:43
friends at KSP Kentucky State Police over the years the garage has made friends with several of the Troopers and
00:10:51
detectives for the Kentucky State Police they are a little bit under Fire with this whole 911 situation which we
00:11:00
will dive into and make clear the details of that but also this case makes me very Furious Captain because of the
00:11:09
victim here and we talked about this before in the garage and I cannot explain why but some of these cases they
00:11:15
just they just bother you and disrupt you more than others and this is one for me when we talk about Amber in her life
00:11:25
it's described as tragic I don't know that I would describe it as tragic but I certainly didn't know her I would
00:11:31
describe it as sad and upsetting she was just 39 years old when she was killed and this is a violent murder a violent
00:11:40
very bloody crime scene but in her 39 years unfortunately Amber lost her parents at a young age so she was raised
00:11:50
by her grandparents and then she has an additional tragedy of losing her sister and in a car accident
00:12:00
when she becomes an adult most of us go out we spread our wings some of us go off to college some of us start our
00:12:07
careers some start a family Amber was such a great person she did none of those things her grandparents
00:12:15
who raised her because of the tragedies in her early life they were in need of care to be taken care of they raised her
00:12:25
and T took care of her growing up and now it was Amber's turn to take take care of her grandparents as they were
00:12:31
very elderly in Amber's adult life and it was only less than a year before Amber was killed after her grandparents
00:12:41
passing away that she was able to spread her wings and go out and live a more traditional adult lifestyle right she
00:12:49
was she was living in a home of her own for the first time little did anybody know that she would live there for less
00:12:56
than a year before she is killed now one thing that makes me very angry here in this case Captain is we have this
00:13:03
beautiful wonderful person kind-hearted good natured person and make no make no mistake about
00:13:11
it the beer that was picked for this week that's on purpose I believe that Amber 39 years old thought that she was
00:13:19
out with friends that night thought that she was surrounded by friends that night
00:13:24
and it turns out it was the exact opposite not only is she killed but whoever was there with her and
00:13:31
there's the waters are murky but whoever was there with her that night no one it
00:13:37
doesn't seem like anybody came to her Aid nobody seemed to stand up for this wonderful kind-hearted person yeah it
00:13:44
makes absolutely no sense and we'll go through some of the details of the events but you have people at this party
00:13:51
somebody's being attacked and nobody stops them or nobody speaks up afterwards mhm doesn't make any sense
00:13:57
the following week the the chronicle in times Floyd County reported a community Mourns ask questions as investigation
00:14:06
continues into woman's murder questions abound and this article really lays out the case fairly well and we'll get into
00:14:17
some problems that I have with the article some problems that I have with this case in general but the article
00:14:23
reads the investigation into the death of prestonburg native Amber Spradlin is ongoing
00:14:29
though no arrests have yet been made in connection with her murder after her body was found on June 18th spradlin's
00:14:37
death has been at the center of controversy although Kentucky State Police haven't said much about the case
00:14:44
yet they have confirmed that her death is believed to be the result of Foul Play all right let's let's dissect this
00:14:51
a little bit before we get all the way through the article okay first of all an investigation ongoing no kidding I 100%
00:15:00
believe that and I do believe that the Kentucky State Police are doing good work on this investigation I also
00:15:06
believe that this thing will be solved and in fact I was a little nervous talking about this case today Captain
00:15:13
here in the garage because due to circumstance we're recording this several days before it will be released
00:15:19
there's a chance that by the time this hits your earballs there may be an arrest in this case because I think that
00:15:27
Kentucky State Police are doing good work on this case now what I don't like is almost every one of these articles
00:15:36
they are dancing around this whole idea of this being a brutal violent murder that's what it is let's call it what it
00:15:45
is it's a brutal violent murder if you dumb this down or sugarcoat it and make it anything other than what it is shame
00:15:53
on you all of these articles and look this is a fine newspaper that we're quoting from but Kentucky State Police
00:16:02
prestonburg Police Floyd County and the newspapers everybody keeps saying suspected Foul Play you heard her loved
00:16:13
one you heard her relative talking in that trailer leading us into Today's Show she stabbed 11 times at least 11
00:16:22
times this is not suspected Foul Play This is Foul Play right this is a vient brutal murder of a good-natured kind
00:16:31
person the incident took place in the Arkansas Creek area of the Martin Community okay again the other problem
00:16:39
that I have with some of the reporting here is that most of these articles just say that it this is an incident that
00:16:46
took place at a residence in the Arkansas Creek area no we know what residence it took place at
00:16:56
right somebody killed Amber sprad in the home of Dr Michael McKenna let's let's say that that's a fact not let's not
00:17:05
allude to where her body was found and recovered from now in a statement issued June 27th the attorney the the family
00:17:14
very rightfully so good on them good job by them they hired an attorney his name
00:17:20
is Mark wander he issued a statement on behalf of spradlin's family announcing there
00:17:26
will be a press conference on June 29th that press conference was very interesting to listen to it I'm having
00:17:34
trouble finding it online or on YouTube today so I don't know if it was taken down you can find a short version of
00:17:41
that in fact that's what we played for you in the trailer today but that press conference was interesting because it
00:17:48
had details about the crime that were not listed in most of the papers or the articles that are about this
00:17:56
case this article goes on on to say the purpose the statement said is to discuss
00:18:01
updates on the murder investigation and the family's concerns about the case quote the family has questions as to
00:18:07
those who were at Dr Michael McKenna's house located on Arkansas Creek Road this is in Martin Kentucky so to kind of
00:18:17
paint a picture here Martin Kentucky is a community that is South eastsh it's it's south of Peterson uh it's South of
00:18:28
prestonburg Amber worked in prestonburg and that's not a huge Community it's like 3600 people looks to be a great
00:18:38
Community though like a lot of good restaurants uh very quickly you could be out in the
00:18:44
country off of any route going out of that little tiny town there but one of those communities would be Martin
00:18:52
Kentucky which is a much smaller Community I believe about 600 people live in that area and it's not terribly
00:19:00
far from prestonburg now the thing that I like here is that look the family what did they say the
00:19:08
family has questions as to those who were at Dr Michael McKenna's house they're not dancing around the idea that
00:19:14
we know where her body was found and this is a prominent doctor he's a dentist in prestonburg he's also the
00:19:22
owner of the restaurant that Amber Spradlin worked at so she worked as a hostess
00:19:29
I was trying to figure out how long she had been working there it sounds to me roughly maybe a year but the other
00:19:36
information that's coming out of East Kentucky is that she was friends with this Dr Michael
00:19:44
mckenny or at least thought she was yeah the doctor was her boss and supposedly her her friend and he's supposed to be
00:19:52
this well-known dentist in town probably doing pretty well for himself if he's a
00:19:57
restaurant owner and a a well-known well-liked dentist so how does this well-known well-liked
00:20:05
professional and this very much liked kind-hearted person Amber Spradlin end up back at his place
00:20:15
and then she's found murdered at about 10:00 a.m. the next morning well let's start breaking down the timeline in
00:20:21
Amber's case yes Captain so on June 17th it's my understanding that Amber bradin went to her place of work which
00:20:29
is The Brick House Restaurant I've looked them up online they got a cool menu looks like the kind of the place
00:20:36
that you could walk in and see the captain and the colonel sitting at a table big plates of food and a bunch of
00:20:42
beers having a good time Amber bradin like we said had worked there for approximately one year and she is
00:20:50
getting along with co-workers and friends with the owner who is this Dr Michael mckenny sometimes after her shift Dr
00:21:00
Michael McKenna and Amber and others these others are not named went to a place called the seasons in
00:21:09
motel now what happens is afterward time unknown they go from the seasons in motel and end up back at Dr Michael
00:21:20
McKenna's house that sounds all a little confusing but further digging found out
00:21:26
that there is a restaurant in bar at the seasons in motel my guess here without being able to confirm this what would
00:21:34
make the most sense is that do Michael McKenna and Amber Spradlin along with others unnamed go to the seasons in
00:21:41
motel they're at the restaurant they're at the bar they're having an after hours
00:21:46
good time right after work let's get together for a couple beverages maybe a pitcher of margaritas have a good time
00:21:52
right we've all gone out after work we all for the most part enjoy it however this this Gathering continues and makes
00:22:02
its way to the doctor's house which is not terribly far away maybe 10 minutes or so but this party supposedly
00:22:10
continues on through the night into the we hours of the morning what we've been told
00:22:17
is that at some point and this is believed to be in the 5:00 hour the 5 a.m. hour that there is a call from
00:22:29
someone that is at this party or at this Gathering that says to 911 and it's a little confusing what the
00:22:39
911 call is but the reason why people are up in arms and while people are Furious about this case especially the
00:22:47
citizens of prestonburg is that nobody ever responded to this call now to be perfectly clear we do not know exactly
00:22:57
what that that call was to 9911 and as the story goes there's another call to 911 this is close to the
00:23:06
10: a.m. hour this call is responded to and this is when authorities find Amber Spradlin
00:23:16
murdered having been stabbed at least 11 times rightfully so people were up in arms because many believe had there been
00:23:25
a response to the first 911 call that this could have all been avoided Amber's life could have been saved she
00:23:33
could have been walking around with the rest of us the thing here is though we don't know what that first call was
00:23:39
about now the rumors that are coming out and this would seem to make some sense there's two rumors one that there
00:23:47
were two calls in that 5:00 hour placed to 911 the other rumor is that there was
00:23:52
one single call but there were two people two voices that were on the call those 911 calls have not been released
00:23:58
to the public and I do not anticipate that they will be anytime soon even after an arrest is made the reason being
00:24:06
is there's probably going to be some kind of lawsuit that is involved in this case so the rumors I have heard and
00:24:15
these seem to make some sense to me Captain is that a 911 call is placed and there are two people on the call or
00:24:22
there's a follow-up call and both rumors are very similar that there's a fight there's some kind
00:24:29
of altercation going on at this residence they might need the police to come and break this thing up either
00:24:35
somebody else jumps on the phone or a second call is placed which kind of calls off the alarm
00:24:42
everything's fine here we got it all sorted out no big deal no need to send anybody whatever call comes in at 10:00
00:24:49
a.m. again this is not clear but this leads authorities to going out to Dr Michael McKenna's house and finding
00:24:57
Amber Spradlin dead as that article stated she was pronounced dead at the scene by the coroner's office that's on
00:25:07
the 18th of June so even though that the emergency didn't respond right away what
00:25:12
law enforcement now has to do is gather up all the information of who was at that party and who was having
00:25:19
interactions with Amber correct and so this article says the family has learned that along with Dr
00:25:28
McKenna his son Michael K McKenna Roy kid and there were at least two other individuals at the home when Amber was
00:25:38
brutally murdered and that's a quote from the family the family the statement that they
00:25:47
released will also be addressing concerns they have regarding Floyd County judge executive Robbie Williams
00:25:53
decision to transfer the 911 emergency call center from Kentucky State Police post 99 in Pikeville to the city of
00:26:02
prestonburg 911 call center okay so to break that down for everybody and this is one thing
00:26:10
that I don't appreciate we have people saying that there's some kind of police cover up here Kentucky State Police it
00:26:17
doesn't seem like they would have any vested interest in covering this up and as we said we know some members of that
00:26:24
Force it's a large force and we're not going to sit here and pretend that every one of them are Eagle Scouts the best
00:26:29
person you ever met in the whole world but what this article is stating is just the facts in
00:26:38
2022 December of 2022 it was a decision made by a judge and the mayor of prestonburg to remove
00:26:46
the 911 call center duties from Kentucky State Police from that post n and bring
00:26:54
them inhouse to prestonburg the reason why to save a whole bunch of money now where the gray area becomes is
00:27:05
who is supposed to respond to those calls and who is dispatch supposed to call to those calls and why didn't they
00:27:14
respond so the problem here is this residence is not in prestonburg but the 911 call center is in
00:27:23
prestonburg Kentucky State Police and it's this sounds reasonable says look this used to be our jurisdiction the
00:27:33
calls would come into our call center and we would dispatch a patrol car to the call well now that the call center is
00:27:43
moved and it's inhouse with prestonburg they are to dispatch one of their police
00:27:50
officers a prestonburg police officer patrol car to the call what we do know is whoever was dispatched or not
00:28:00
dispatched no one arrived to the scene nobody showed up to that 500 a.m. call the problem is this incident did not
00:28:09
occur within the city limits of prestonburg so we're getting conflicting reports and statements the mayor of
00:28:17
prestonburg is saying well we received the call at our 911 call center our officers have an obligation to the
00:28:25
citizens of prestonburg and if we have cars available we send them past City Limits meaning they the
00:28:34
gray area is who is supposed to be responding or dispatched to calls outside of prestonburg City Limits but
00:28:42
within the county of Floyd and so there's a little bit of finger pointing here the prestonburg PD and mayor are
00:28:49
saying Kentucky State Police or or the county should have been responding to those
00:28:55
calls and Kentucky State Police in the county are saying no no no the deal the contract that was made so your city
00:29:02
could save money is that you would take these calls or at least dispatch us if you don't have cars
00:29:10
available the thing here is trying to sort out who dropped the ball was it the call center and they actually dispatched
00:29:18
somebody to go to the scene and nobody showed up right or did the call center just not dispatch anybody the statements
00:29:26
by the mayor are trou because it it almost sounds like the mayor is saying well if we have a car available we send
00:29:31
someone if not we have priority with prestonburg because the taxpayers that are funding the 911 call center live
00:29:40
here okay well what like you you you call and order a pizza and they're just like no all of our cars are out so we
00:29:48
can't sell you a pizza that's not how it works somebody has to respond to this call even if it was called off and most
00:29:55
jurisdictions that's protocol some somebody calls 911 even if somebody calls back and says Nope all good here
00:30:02
officers they still send somebody out to make sure that there's nothing horrible
00:30:07
going on at that [Music] scene this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays maybe
00:30:36

[Music] go all right we are back cheers mates to the windows to the walls and cheers to
00:34:21
everybody in the back cheers to you captain and one thing here that we need to sort out out is in this article it
00:34:28
says that the family spradlin's family has said that they have learned that along with Dr mckenny his son Michael K
00:34:36
McKenna Roy kid there were at least two other individuals at the home when Amber
00:34:42
was brutally murdered that's their words I don't know we cannot figure out because their
00:34:49
names have not been released who those other two people were and the the statement is at least two other people
00:34:56
were there now when they say two other people is one of them Amber or is this five people plus Amber or is it five
00:35:05
Plus+ Amber it's a little difficult to sort out right now exactly who was there and again the details coming out are
00:35:15
sketchy the way that they're delivered it's almost like they're concerned about protecting the
00:35:22
people at this Gathering the problem for that for me is until I can prove you didn't have
00:35:30
anything to do with the murder of this woman you had something to do with the murder of this woman who cares about
00:35:37
protecting these individuals it seems pretty clear to me right police show up detectives show up
00:35:45
we've got to we've got to secure this scene and collect evidence you were here you were here you were here you were
00:35:50
here what happened the good people need be charged with something because they you know first of all you didn't stop
00:36:00
the attack and then once she was attacked when there was a call made which we believe was made by Amber it
00:36:07
wasn't made by anybody else you did not you did see that I don't know you did nothing in the assistance of getting her
00:36:16
help correct yeah that I don't know I don't know if Amber called or if somebody else called and said hey
00:36:21
there's a fight going on here and then somebody else called off the dogs but what I would like to know is the time of
00:36:30
death because what we do know is everything we're hearing is that that first call came in in the 5:00
00:36:36
hour second call or the third call comes in in the 10:00 10:00 a.m. hour and that's when they find her dead at the
00:36:44
scene well if you can get a an expert to say that you know what she was very likely killed before that 5:00 call well
00:36:53
now you have a whole different set of circumstances or if you can get an expert to say that
00:37:00
she was killed shortly after that 5:00 call we got other concerns and if if she was killed hours
00:37:09
before the 10: a.m. call one who called at 10: a.m. why and what was done in the
00:37:15
meantime do we have people there that were cleaning up the scene destroying evidence yeah tampering with
00:37:25
evidence some of the more disturbing rumors coming out regards the injuries to our victim here and it goes beyond
00:37:35
stabbed at least 11 times in the head face throat neck area the rumors are that a knife was
00:37:45
broken off in her Temple that the cause of death was actually due to her throat being
00:37:53
slit and this is even more troubling I believe it or not more troubling it's believed that she had no defensive
00:38:06
wounds so was somebody or some budi's holding her down while she was attacked and she was not able to defend herself
00:38:13
yeah or was she passed out at the time the other rumors is that there was a bag of bloody objects found bloody towels
00:38:23
cloths maybe even clothing this to me would suggest that somebody was attempting to clean up the scene right
00:38:31
the other rumor is that the scene was incredibly bloody and and I think this this one carries a lot of weight because
00:38:39
of something we know that has been stated by Kentucky State Police and the family's attorney
00:38:46
later this rumor is that there was the the hallway along with the stairs and maybe even a portion of the upstairs of
00:38:54
this home covered in blood another statement by the family's attorney is that at least one other
00:39:02
individual was cut and that individual was somebody that we've already named Roy kid so then you got to wonder
00:39:14
a couple of things here if there was a fight that broke out amongst who did this fight break
00:39:21
out why is Roy kid injured we know that in abing it's very common for the perpetrator to
00:39:30
accidentally cut themselves the other thing that we're wondering is if there were in fact no
00:39:37
defensive wounds and she was awake moving attempting to defend herself if she doesn't have defensive
00:39:44
wounds that means somebody or some buddies held her down or she was restrained in some form or
00:39:50
fashion did Roy kid get this injury because he's the perpetrator did Roy kid get this injury because he was involved
00:39:58
in holding her down or did Roy kid get this injury because he was attempting to defend her her or he was in an
00:40:07
altercation himself with somebody else lots of questions here and it seems very easy to me that we should be able
00:40:16
to have the names of the persons that were there if you all are innocent then you
00:40:22
have no reason to not tell us who else was there that night I believe Kentucky State Police have a good idea who else
00:40:29
was there that night oh definitely and the other thing to Circle back to the blood everywhere rumor that is out there
00:40:38
is that Kentucky State Police have said that they have been interviewing people and have searched numerous residences
00:40:44
electronic devices and have a bunch of physical evidence the evidence that they have Captain is now at the Kentucky
00:40:52
State Police laboratory so from from what we've been told is that some of the blood evidence
00:41:01
that was collected at the scene contains blood from two if not more sources of course we would expect to have our
00:41:09
victim's blood there Amber's blood unfortunately right we know from information coming out of East Kentucky
00:41:16
that Roy kid may have had an injury a bleeding injury a cut that night there would seem to be reason that you might
00:41:25
have another individual that had some type of injury especially if Roy kid wasn't the
00:41:31
sole perpetrator of whatever went down that night so what they're doing now is these lab reports and please push
00:41:41
Amber's case to the front line because you have a killer walking amongst everyone out there in East Kentucky
00:41:48
nobody's been arrested yet nobody's been arrested or charged at all we're going on 6 weeks now so
00:41:55
they're going to need to sort out the DNA and the blood evidence that they have one thing that's that I have a lot
00:42:02
uh I believe there's a lot of Promise here Captain is I believe once they have those results those results are going to
00:42:09
confirm or completely refute some of the statements given to them at the scene it's of my belief that where the
00:42:20
problem is in this investigation currently is you probably have multiple people giving multiple versions of this
00:42:28
story right and it's all going to collapse like you said as as more reports come out and more of the
00:42:35
evidence is examined by professionals then they're going to go uh see you told us this story but that doesn't line up
00:42:42
with the evidence and people are going to start folding and uh turning on each other pretty quickly I hope so and I
00:42:49
think I think the way that that kind of starts is to quit dancing around these ideas and and just say what it is it's
00:42:55
not suspect effective Foul Play It's a brutal homicide of a good-natured person it's not found in the area of Arkansas
00:43:04
Creek it's the victim was found dead at this dentist's home right where he's there with his son and some other people
00:43:13
and who knows who who came or went throughout the course of that evening the other thing too
00:43:20
is when you have the finger pointing going on and that makes sense that you would have that because I believe that
00:43:26
there will be a lawsuit in this case regarding the 911 or lack thereof 911 response is it wouldn't
00:43:36
be outside of your best interest to release those 911 calls at some point especially after you've charged someone
00:43:43
or someone's in this murder because I think what we need here is clear evidence who dropped the ball
00:43:53
because if the dispatch call center did not not call anybody did not dispatch anybody well there in lies your problem
00:44:02
that's you that's easily fixed you take the power back from that prestonburg call center and you put it back at the
00:44:11
Kentucky State Police post n I'm wondering if it's the problem to me if I had to sit
00:44:18
here and and make a wager on it Captain I feel like the problem is either the call center or the prestonburg
00:44:28
police because it sounds to me that a lot of people are saying prestonburg police were supposed to respond to
00:44:35
this and I'm getting the vibe that it's like well if we have a car available we send somebody and in this situation
00:44:44
somebody again just rumor somebody called back or somebody hopped on the phone and said nope everything's fine
00:44:50
here so we disregarded the call well if protocol in that area is to respond anyway to any call coming in then you
00:44:59
guys drop the ball and I'm sorry but saving money is not worth risking lives we need people to respond to these
00:45:11
calls people rely on having this Lifeline well one of the things I'm I'm proud about being a part of this show is
00:45:20
our audience and and the call to action like we said before getting so many people on social media and through
00:45:28
emails saying please take a look at this case I know on the surface it looks like
00:45:33
you know there's maybe some kind of conspiracy here but what the conspiracy to me is the people at the party MH and
00:45:41
it's not law enforcement and and we're going to play a clip just a little bit later where you'll hear about how
00:45:47
they're tracking down every lead but a lot of the leads that they're getting right now are just hear say but I think
00:45:54
this case is very important again lack of information lack of evidence but we can get people talking
00:46:01
about this this doesn't need to go away from the Public's eye well and in the defense of Kentucky State Police I
00:46:09
believe the reason for the lack of information made available to the public currently is that they're sorting
00:46:16
through these different statements that were given by people that were there either when she was killed or there at
00:46:22
the gathering before after she was killed again we it would be foolish of us to sit here
00:46:28
and believe that all of those statements are 100% true because if they were there
00:46:33
would be an arrest by now and so my belief is and I think this will pan out once an arrest or arrests are made is
00:46:45
that Kentucky State Police are rightfully so withholding a lot of this information in details about the
00:46:52
timeline about the crime scene and about the evidence because they're still sorting through these stories and
00:46:58
probably a lot of them are a lie and what they do know is that if a bunch of these people that were involved or not
00:47:05
involved or at least there that night if they have all the information that Kentucky State Police do well they have
00:47:13
a a greater Arsenal than the detectives have and so that's why they're withholding information rightfully so
00:47:20
let's get the lab results Let's test all the evidence the pH physical evidence let's gather all of the statements and
00:47:27
here's the thing too you're exactly right Captain conspiracy on the part of the people that were supposed to be her
00:47:33
friends because guess what she's not hanging out with any of these people at the seasons in motel and restaurant
00:47:40
unless she's invited there she's not at the dentist home unless she's invited there she thought these people were her
00:47:49
friends and it turns out I don't this kind of thing happens none of these people are your friends what why
00:47:57
is the truth not being delivered on a silver platter to the detectives now a couple things that I wanted to make sure
00:48:05
from this article that we include before we wrap up here in the garage today it some very key things here Captain the
00:48:12
family in their statement said that they have all the confidence in the investigators conducting the
00:48:24
investigation this is the Kentucky State Police quote the family continues to support and thank Captain Randall subber
00:48:32
and the men and women of the Kentucky State Police for their dedication and involvement in the investigation of
00:48:38
Amber's murder the statement said the family has complete confidence that those responsible will be brought to
00:48:46
Justice spradlin's cousin Debbie Hall who has been at the Forefront of keeping her cousin's case in the public eye said
00:48:54
the community support has been overwhelming quote I knew she had a lot of friends and touched a lot of lives
00:49:01
but I really had no idea she said she goes on to say I have received thousands of messages texts and phone calls since
00:49:10
this happened and we talked about Amber's sad and tragic life leading up to this her childhood with her mother
00:49:18
passing away with losing her parents than losing her sister and then taking care of her grandparents because they
00:49:24
did a great job taking care of her what a good what a good person to recognize that and to say you know what I will be
00:49:30
there for you because you were there for me put my life on hold because you put a
00:49:35
lot of things on hold for me and so she does her grandparents a solid and then unfortunately this
00:49:42
horrible what a horrible thing to happen to such a good person and Hall goes on her cousin goes
00:49:49
on to say in this article that she believes that there are many at fault and I think the captain and I share that
00:49:56
opinion she goes on to say quote politicians have placed politics and profit before people and their policies
00:50:02
have failed Amber the monster who committed this crime and the people supporting them will hopefully be
00:50:08
punished they do not deserve to be in society anyone who committed such a brutal murder will do it
00:50:16
again well it's definitely sad I mean some people believe that Amber knew that there was a call into 911 and that she
00:50:23
was waiting for help that never showed up up but again this is important to keep a
00:50:30
spotlight on this not not that we need to put pressure on law enforcement because I think law enforcement is doing
00:50:35
what they need to do and it's tragic that uh no First Responders showed up and nobody came to her rescue and nobody
00:50:43
saved her but nobody at that party did anything right and and so what's going to
00:50:49
happen I I wouldn't be surprised if if if everybody at that party isn't charged was something right and I think here the
00:50:58
situation Captain Justice for Amber bradlin first right the I understand 911 being an issue remember the old song
00:51:07
Chuck D Public Enemy 911 is a joke uh yeah 911 is a joke in Yo toown and we're talking about prestonburg Kentucky we're
00:51:17
talking about Floyd County Kentucky your 911 system is a joke return it to the the Kentucky State Police where they
00:51:25
didn't have problems before sorry it cost you a little extra money but it may save lives and fix that problem after
00:51:33
you fix this problem because there's going to be a lot of red tape involved in the 911 problem what we need to focus
00:51:39
on now is getting Justice for Amber finding out who is responsible it sounds to me like this is probably a situation
00:51:47
where more than one person has some level of involvement in her murder so that means there are killers or
00:51:53
witnesses to a murder walking around free well and that's what the community can do the True Crime Community can put
00:52:01
pressure to go here are the individuals that were at the party these are the individuals that need to be cooperating
00:52:08
with police and giving them the correct information and not trying to be uh nefarious with their answers or their
00:52:15
details or their lack thereof so let's put pressure on them to tell the truth tell us what happened and let's get
00:52:24
Justice for Amber be the good person in the room somebody there can be the good person and tell police what it is that
00:52:31
they need to know because here here's the thing the captain said conspiracy the captain said cover up when it comes
00:52:36
to the people there at that home that night he could not be more spot on because if the rumors are true that
00:52:44
either a second individual jumped on the phone and said nope nothing to see here
00:52:48
call off the dogs we don't need any help the everything's been straightened out or the other rumor that somebody then
00:52:55
called called in a second call shortly after the first saying the same thing call off the dogs nothing to see here we
00:53:00
don't need any help that is the start of a cover up that is the start of the conspiracy that is the first
00:53:09
Domino that falls in preventing anybody from outside of those four walls knowing
00:53:16
what's going on inside of those walls and it's not a big leap to make to go from somebody called off the
00:53:25
authorities and called off police to someone or someone's started to clean up the scene and cover up what really
00:53:33
happened here that night that horrible tragic night and our thoughts are with the community and with Amber's friends
00:53:41
and family the ongoing investigation of the murder of Amber bradin Kentucky State Police have issued a PSA regarding
00:53:48
information related to the case they humbly request that anyone who wishes to share information to be sure it is true
00:53:55
KSP is currently investigating what little evidence they have during the course of this investigation
00:54:00
investigators with Kentucky State Police have interviewed several uh members of the community and executed numerous
00:54:06
search warrants on different residences electronic devices uh collecting physical evidence along with DNA
00:54:13
evidence uh all those all the evidence has been transported to the KSP Laboratories and we are currently
00:54:19
awaiting the results of the evidence any false information submitted is likely to
00:54:24
consume KSP Resources with nothing to show for it this can also lead to others making claims they believe to be true
00:54:30
any credible information that anyone may have about this investigation uh we would really like to talk to you so if
00:54:36
you have any information that is credible please call us at 606 433 7711 we would like to add that every tip
00:54:44
that comes in or any bit of information that these detectives receive they have to look into to make sure there's
00:54:49
thorough as possible so please if you do call make sure it's credible information
00:54:53
and not hearsay or false information because they have to track those leads down and that's taken time away from the
00:54:58
investigation while they're out looking for information that turns out just to be false a lot of these tips that we're
00:55:04
getting they're going out and they're spending countless hours out investigating and it turns out that it
00:55:08
was just false or third-and information that that was wasn't true at all uh so we just ask that if you do have
00:55:15
information we definitely want it but make sure that it's credible information that could help help us lead to an
00:55:20
arrest in this investigation reporting from Mountain Top News I'm Nick Colum [Music]
