A reward is now being offered in the 2013 murder of a Kentucky man gunned down in Georgia.
In January 2013, Keith Ratliff, a 32-year-old Frankfort native was found dead in his home office in Carnesville, Georgia. Investigators said he had been shot once in the head and his body had been there for “some time” before it was discovered.
“Doesn’t seem real. Doesn’t seem real, today,” the victim’s father, Dick Ratliff told LEX 18’s Josh Breslow on Friday. “I thought maybe a year, something would happen.”

It’s been more than two years and no one has been charged with Ratliff’s murder.
Ratliff was well-known in the online firearms industry as a co-creator of the popular “FPS Russia” channel on YouTube. Dozens of videos there, focusing on firearms, have millions of hits.
Another big name in the online firearms industry, “Col. Richard Hunter” had only met Ratliff once, but said he felt compelled to do something to help with the unsolved murder.
In a 10-minute video posted to YouTube, Col. Hunter said he will offer a $5,000 reward for information leading the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who killed Ratliff.
“There is no justice in this case,” Col. Hunter said in the video. “One of us being murdered, especially with a firearm, we should come together on this. We should do whatever we have to for justice to happen. ”
The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is in charge of the investigation. Anyone with information on Ratliff’s murder is asked to call (706) 552-2309.
