New information regarding the bourbon heist that made international headlines will be released next Tuesday, according to the Franklin County Sheriff.

The sheriff’s department has been hot on the trail of the stolen Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon and Sheriff Pat Melton now tells LEX 18 that the case is bigger than anyone ever expected. The story begins with the theft of the Pappy back in October of 2013 Then, Gilbert Toby Curtsinger was arrested last month after deputies found five stolen barrels of bourbon from the Wild Turkey Distillery in Curtsinger’s home. Deputies also found a big stash of steroids and guns at the residence.

Curtsinger was an employee of Buffalo Trace Distillery. That is the same distillery which produces Pappy Van Winkle. LEX 18 has learned that Franklin County deputies have also recovered bottles of Pappy Van Winkle linked to Curtsinger. Coincidence? LEX 18 has uncovered facts that point to an organized theft ring between employees at two different distilleries.

At least one employee of Wild Turkey is under investigation for allegedly working with Curtsinger to move the barrels out of Wild Turkey.

The Franklin County Sheriff will hold a news conference on Tuesday April 21 to discuss the case. The initial press conference was to be held on April 14 but developments in the case delayed that date a week.

LEX 18 has been told there will possibly be several indictments, including at least one employee who works at Wild Turkey.

According to Taylor’s plea agreement, an undercover investigator with the Office of the Kentucky Attorney General, downloaded several files from the Internet that she suspected contained child pornography. Law enforcement later identified Taylor’s computer as the source of the child pornography files. Then, in February 2014, law enforcement executed a search warrant at his residence and located numerous images depicting prepubescent children engaged in sexually explicit conduct on his computer.

Kerry B. Harvey, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Jack Conway, Kentucky Attorney General; and Howard Marshall, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI, jointly made the announcement today.
