According to the Sheriff’s office, the burglars kicked in the doors of several homes and stripped the house of anything valuable.

Deputies have arrested Candice May, 35, and Carl Dupin, 38, and charged them with burglary.

They are still searching for at least one other person they believe is involved.

A DNA test could connect a teen killed by a train almost 100 years ago in Scott County with living relatives.

Since 1921, the grave has just said “Some Mother’s Boy.” Scott County coroner John Goble did some research and may have found living relatives of some mother’s boy, who is believed to be Frank Haynes of Bronston.

“I just called a number out of a data bank and said, ‘do you know such and such’ and she said, ‘yes, that’s my uncle’,” said Goble.

He found Mamie Hahn and Margaret Bell in Pulaski County. They may be the nieces of Haynes.

A simple swab of Hahn’s mouth could be the DNA test that will tell the truth after all these years.

“It’s good to know it’s finally going to be settled. My mom, when she told me the story, she just sat and cried,” said Hahn.

In 1921, Frank ran away from home as a teenager.

“Apparently he got upset when dad said he’d taken something and he ran off,” said Hahn.

Sadly, he was hit and killed by a train in Georgetown and never positively identified.

Hahn said that back then, Pulaski County to Scott County was a long was to travel for a large family.

“I think my dad he’d be very happy to see him come back home,” said Bell.

Another family in Trimble County may also be related to the unidentified teen.

The Frankfort State Journal is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying an “extreme couponer” who they say is stealing newspapers from their sidewalk newsstands.

Someone captured a photo of the suspect after she allegedly raided one of their stands. Landscapers say they watched as the woman rode her bike up to the sidewalk stand, and instead of only taking one newspaper, she reportedly filled two book bags worth.

“Extreme coupon-clippers are wiping us out, especially on Sundays, making it hard for those who want to enjoy our newspaper to find a copy. If you know the person in this photo, send us a DM with her name and any other information you have about her. If it leads to a successful prosecution, we’ll give you a free one-year subscription to The State Journal and FRANK. magazine,” The State Journal said via their Facebook page.

State Journal Publisher Steve Stewart told LEX 18 that there has been an industry-wide uptick in people taking more than one newspaper.

“That just happens to be the day you can count on there being coupons in the newspapers as well,” said Stewart.

Thefts are causing the paper to lose profit, but Stewart said it’s also creating an inconvenience for customers who come later.

“This crime involved a five-year-old boy, and the things the defendant did to this five-year-old boy are some of the worst things I have ever had to see,” said April Smith, Chief Deputy Prosecutor.

Damon Junior’s attorney claimed he committed these acts due to methamphetamine use, but Judge Jay Gaskill disagreed. He denied a request for Damon Jr. to be placed on a rider program, instead sentencing him to between ten to 30 years in prison.
