Shaffer died Thursday, June 1, from acute intracranial trauma.

LINCOLN COUNTY, Ky (LEX 18)The Lincoln County Sheriff has confirmed that one person died in a crash on US 150 east.

He said the crash involved a truck pulling a camper and a car. The camper apparently became unhinged and hit the car head on.

http://liarcatchers.com/accident_reconstruction.html

One person died in the crash, a 6-month-old child was airlifted to the hospital, and two others were injured.

Sheriff Curt Folger says the camper disconnected from a Ford truck, and barreled about 100 yards before crashing into the SUV.

Police are trying to figure out exactly how the camper became unhinged.

“To see if it was secured properly, or if it broke. There’s got to be a reason that camper came off the truck,” said Folger.

Private Detective: Vehicles Stolen From Driveways in Marion Co.

Cars and trucks have been stolen from driveways in Marion County while their owners are sleeping inside their homes.

“Somebody posted it on Facebook, talking about ‘has anybody seen this vehicle?’ It was reportedly broken into and stolen,” said Marion County resident Joey Reed.

http://liarcatchers.com/contact.php

The sheriff’s department said that this isn’t the first time it has happened.

They believe that the person responsible for a vehicle theft ring in the past is involved this time around.

“Makes me want to roll my windows up, lock my door. It’s just one of those things that makes you feel uneasy. You want to feel comfortable in where you live and where you’re at but it’s kind of a different day and age,” said Reed.
