Kentucky State Police said an Estill County man was found murdered on Friday, and they’re searching for two people of interest in the case.
Investigators said the victim is 44-year-old Micky Randall Riddell.
“This right here was the last thing anybody expected to happen around here. It’s just shocking,” said Sheri Grace.
Grace said it’s difficult to believe that her neighbor and second cousin, Micky Riddell, was found dead at his Pea Ridge Road Home. The crime happened at his house behind the Valley View Baptist Church, sometime before noon on Friday.

“All I know is that somebody had beat him. That’s the only part I have got so far, is that he was beat pretty bad,” said Grace.
While police aren’t saying how Riddell was killed, family said he was found by a friend on Friday morning. Relatives who live nearby, first learned the news when they saw all of the commotion.
“Here comes ambulances flying through here, and cops flying through here, and it’s just …Wow,” said Grace. “Everybody was just all tore up.”
Once police left the home they said they were looking for two people of interest in the case. They said they think one person is local, and one is not local. They’re also searching for the driver of a dark purple van or hatchback, that has gold trim and running boards on the side.
“I am just hoping they can find out who done it,” said Grace.
Relatives said they want to know why Riddell was killed. They said he had been in trouble before, but he was a good man.
“He was nice, he was good, good to everybody,” said Grace.
A good man, who family said deserved better than this.
“Nobody deserves something like that, nobody. That’s just, no way for somebody to go ,” said Grace.
If you have any information in this case, or see the dark purple vehicle, you’re asked to call Kentucky State Police.
