SCOTTSVILLE, Ky. (WTVF) — Kentucky State Police are investigating a double homicide in Allen County that left a 12-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman dead.
Troopers with KSP Post 3 were called just before 7 p.m. Wednesday to a home on Stamps Road at the request of the Allen County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a death investigation.
At the scene, investigators found a 12-year-old male juvenile and Traci Trasky, 42, deceased inside the residence. Authorities said Trasky’s vehicle was also missing from the home.
A short time later, the vehicle was located unoccupied on Pleasant Field Church Road. With assistance from the Allen County Sheriff’s Department and the Scottsville Police Department, including the use of a drone, officers spotted a person running through a nearby wooded area.
After a brief foot pursuit, a 17-year-old male juvenile was taken into custody without incident.
Following multiple interviews, the juvenile was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence, theft of a motor vehicle and first-degree fleeing or evading police on foot.
The investigation remains ongoing.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
