A Jessamine county couple stumbled upon a disturbing discovery during a hike Wednesday afternoon along the Kentucky River.

“I just seen something laying there that looked like a hand,” said Kelly Brumfield, witness. “I didn’t know if it was animal but he said that looks like human.”

“You can see the acrylic nail, it had to be a she because it had acrylic nail,” said Richard Bryant, another witness. “There was flesh on the bone and everything.”

However, after spending several hours on the scene on Lock Number 7 Road, Jessamine county coroner couldn’t determine if the bones found were human.

“There’s a partial limb which consists of a hand and part of an arm,” said Michael Hughes, Jessamine county coroner. “That’s difficult for us right now and I can’t really say with any certainty whether that’s human or not.”

On Monday crews, from both Jessamine and Fayette counties, spent the entire day searching the Kentucky River near the Valley View Ferry after receiving a tip a body may be in the river but weren’t able to find anything.

According to a preliminary investigation, the Jessamine county coroner doesn’t believe the cases are connected.

“They would not be related primarily based on the decomposition of this material as opposed to a freshly submerged body,” Hughes said.

The coroner also said aside from the limb they also found several small bones along the river bank.

The hikers say the shocking discovery will keep them from hiking the area again.

“Oh yeah I ain’t gonna go hiking here no more,” Bryant said.

The coroner said the limb will be taken to the medical examiners office and he hopes to have a report Thursday morning.

The missing Madison County man who vanished in the Red River Gorge area has been found alive.

Officials confirm that Josh Adkins, the man missing since August 1, was found walking near the Powell/Wolfe county line.

Adkins was last seen in the Koomer Ridge Campground. He suffers from mental illness and wandered away from the area. Family tells LEX 18 that he survived by eating corn, apples and drinking stream water.

Searchers used drones and dogs in the search for the missing man. But after several minor injuries and a threat of venomous snakes, the search was called off. More than 100 rescuers from 25 different agencies across the Commonwealth worked tirelessly until the point that the search was ended.

His family held out hope that Adkins was alive. “We still think he is walking,” Adkins’ aunt, Patricia Bailey told LEX 18 News at the beginning of the search.

The family began going door to door, distributing fliers and asking anyone they saw to see if they knew where the 31-year-old man could have been.

Sparks tells LEX 18 that it appears that Adkins was uninjured.

Former Boy Scout leader Jack Cassidy pleaded guilty to molestation charges relating to incidents dating back to 1975 on Wednesday.

His twin brother Jerry was too ill to attend court.

Jack Cassidy pleaded guilty to nine sex-abuse related charges in a plea deal. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 16. A hearing for Jerry Cassidy will take place the same day.

Police charged Jack and Jerry Cassidy with child porn. Police say officers found hundreds of photos of young boys tied up, naked and kissing each other in the 77-year-olds’ home. After further investigation, police filed additional charges of sodomy, and indecent and immoral practices with another.

Police say they found journals documenting the abuse the twins are accused of. Investigators say there were records of practically every young boy in their Boy Scout Troop, including birth dates and a timeline. Investigators say there was a “poem book” about each child and two books containing logs of sexual abuse. Investigators described the records as “trophies.”

Jack and Jerry Cassidy stand accused of abusing children, mainly boy ages 8 to 15, from 1963 to 1985. The case that LEX 18 first broke, continues to get bigger as more people come forward claiming abuse by the twins.
