A homicide investigation is underway in on Old Hustonville Road in Boyle County.
Don Hamner, the Boyle County Corner, says the victim is Rhonda Oakley, 52. He says her step-son found her dead in the basement when he came home from school Thursday afternoon.
The coroner says Oakley was in the basement for about an hour before she was found. Hamner cannot say what kind of wounds she has, but says they are not self-inflicted.

“This is a death of a 52-year-old lady that was found on the basement floor when her son got home from school,” Hamner said. “It does appear to be a homicide.”
Troopers say no arrests have been made and no persons of interest have been identified.
However, the victim’s car is missing from her home. Troopers need help finding a 2014 white Honda Civic passenger car with Kentucky plates 211-3BT.
Investigators spent much of the afternoon gathering evidence and talking to neighbors to try to find out what led up to Oakley’s death.
“I’m a few feet away from it I can really only see the yellow tape but I’ve seen a lot of people walk back and forth there really hasn’t been a lot of commotion,” said neighbor Dyllan Stocker.
Others, like Bryan Stocker, say they’re surprised to hear of something like this happening in what is typically a family-friendly neighborhood, “there are signs that say slow down playing so yeah there’s typically not much noise or disturbance out here.”
The victim’s body has been taken to the medical examiner’s office in Frankfort for an autopsy.
Anyone with information, regarding the whereabouts of the white 2014 Honda Civic with Kentucky plates 211-3BT, is asked to contact KSP Post 7 at 859.623.2404
