An 8-year-old Letcher County boy is missing and his family believes he’s with his father who is a murder suspect.
Lillie Mae Adams last saw her 8-year-old grandson on October 9. Her son, Floyd Sexton packed his bags and left with Nicholas. It was nearly a month later that the news came out that Sexton was wanted for murder and the two were nowhere to be found.
“It’s just very hard to believe everything right now. It’s hard. I can’t hardly eat or sleep or anything,” says Adams.

Police say that Sexton fatally shot Bill Collins in Floyd County on November 5 and has been on the run with Nicholas and girlfriend Jennifer Jernigan ever since.
“He was raised in church and his daddy was a minister and this is a shock to us that he would do this,” says Adams.
Reeling with uncertainty and a heavy heart, Adams has searched desperately, begging the Letcher County Sheriff’s Office to help issue an Amber Alert. Unfortunately, she was told that the situation doesn’t fit the criteria for an alert because Sexton had custody of Nicholas.
That was changed Tuesday when a judge granted Adams sole custody of Nicholas. Now they must wait for the paperwork to be filed so that a nationwide search for the young boy can commence.
“I’m hoping that they’ll catch him and whatever he’s done he’ll have to pay the price for what he’s done and bring Nicholas back home,” says Adams.
If you have information on the whereabouts of Sexton, please contact Kentucky State Police.
