The stepdaughter of a Boyle County murder victim who was reported missing the same day as the crime pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges connected to the case.
15-year-old Jenna Oakley was reported missing after the body of Rhonda Oakley was discovered in their Boyle County home. The death was labeled as a homicide.
Jenna was found in New Mexico along with her boyfriend, 20-year-old Kenneth Nigh. The two were discovered in a white Honda Civic that belonged to Rhonda Oakley and was reported stolen the day her body was discovered.

Nigh committed suicide in jail.
Oakley is facing charges of complicity to commit murder.
Rhonda Oakley’s husband spoke to LEX 18 back in September saying he believes the death was completely preventable.
“It’s just unthinkable,” Phillip Oakley told LEX 18. “People will ask you, if you know something, talk to someone. Guess what? We did, and no one did anything. This is the result.”
Jenna Oakley entered a not guilty plea to charges of complicity to commit murder and theft on Tuesday.
Her status hearing will be January 3.
