A Central Kentucky family waits for answers after a young mother was found dead Thursday on the side of a rural Fayette County Road. With the autopsy for 20-year-old Kyley Palmer pushed back until Saturday, those answers will take longer to get.

Palmer lived on and off in Jessamine County with her mother and her three children, ages 4 years old to just 6 months.

“She was a very special mommy and I liked her very much,” Palmer’s four-year-old son, Jase told LEX 18, while cradled in his grandmother’s arms.

“She was truly a loving mother. She loved her children,” said Palmer’s own mother, Beni Parsons. “There’s been a lot of emotion because we had a lot of hopes for Kyley.”

Palmer’s family said the 20-year-old was a talented singer and dancer. Her mother had not seen her daughter since last week. Palmer’s body turned up Thursday afternoon along the side of Leeann Lane in Lexington.

“I don’t think she had reason to be there. I believe someone else did,” Parsons said.

Police have labeled the case a “death investigation.” The cause of death is “undetermined” and how Palmer wound up on that rural road remains a mystery.

“The thought of her suffering, that’s what bothers me,” Parsons said. “I can’t understand someone having no regard for human life.”

Parson said she has her own guess as to what happened, but with no clear answers, she and the rest of her family are left to wait.

Palmer’s funeral arrangements are still pending, though her family believes she will be buried in Berea.

Palmer’s family has set up two funds to help with funeral costs. The first is at People’s Bank in Berea. The other one is at Town Square Bank in Nicholasville. Both are called the “Kyley Palmer Memorial Fund.”

A Madison County man who admitted he tried to murder his wife by giving her rat poison disguised in a cup of coffee was sentenced in the case Friday.

William Cain, 56, was originally charged with attempted murder after his wife, Deborah Cain told police he made her some coffee last summer then left the house. She says the coffee looked dark green and she found a residue at the bottom of the pot. She then called a friend and then police, who found her husband at a neighbor’s home. According to a police citation, William Cain admitted putting the poison in the coffee.

Cain, who entered a guilty plea to the lesser charge of first-degree attempted manslaughter in January, was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison. He was denied probation.

Deborah Cain told LEX 18 after the guilty plea that she got word her husband was going to poison her five days before so her guard was up.

Corbin Police said Friday that the posting of a picture of a child who was found at a McDonald’s parking lot in Corbin Thursday afternoon on LEX 18’s Facebook page is what helped identify him.

Police say the grandmother of the boy, who has custody of the four-year-old, thought her daughter-in-law was with the boy and vice-versa. Joanne Lowe, 62, was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor. Investigators said the child has been placed in custody of the state.

An aunt of the child, whose name has not been released, contacted police after seeing his picture on LEX 18’s Facebook page.

The child was standing outside in the parking for 15 minutes, according to police.

The family lives a few miles outside city limits, police said.
