The man accused of murdering a Northern Kentucky couple was in court Wednesday afternoon.

Crystal Warner and Bobby Jones went missing over the Fourth of July weekend after going to check on the property they were renting out to Craig Pennington in Washington County.

Bobby Jones’s body was found on the side of a Clark County road in August, and Crystal Warner’s body was found in the woods off I-64 in Bath County just a few weeks ago.

LEX 18 asked Jones’s sister, Becky Isom, what the recovery of Warner’s remains means for the case and their family.

“I feel like it will make the case stronger, he will be punished more. As far as closure, we will never have that. We never got to say goodbye,” said Isom.

“With Christmas coming up, you know, the holidays, even the days that aren’t holidays, you miss them. You think about them. Every time you hear a phone text or ring, the first thing I think, it’s Crystal,” Crystal Warner’s mother, Mary Reeve, told LEX 18.

Isom said that it is difficult to see Pennington in court.

“You just want to scream out ‘murderer!’ You just want to tell him how awful he is, what harm he has caused,” said Isom. “He don’t even know what he took from us.”

The family told LEX 18 that they believe they will never know what really happened, but that Wednesday’s court appearance was about something so much more.

“Stand up for them, fight for them until everyone that is involved is punished, and justice is served,” said Isom.

The family appeared in green shirts to show solidarity for Bobby Jones and Crystal Warner.

The family also had a message for Craig Pennington.

“He did take their life, but he can’t take what they meant to us, and take their souls,” said Reeve. “We know they are in a better place.”

Wednesday’s hearing lasted only a few minutes, but Jones’s sister told LEX 18 that no matter how short the court appearances are there family will be seen and heard.

Evidence from the field is still not ready to be presented in court.

The families tell LEX 18 that Pennington was served with an eviction notice weeks before the couple’s deaths. They now question whether or not the murders were planned.
