FOUR INVOLVED IN MURDER AMONG THOSE IN KENTON COURT THIS WEEK
The "Ugly Mugs" from Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders's office this week include four people sentenced for their involvement in local murders. An interesting development appears in Sanders's newsletter about how Covington Police detectives were able to get the necessary information from suspect Samantha Mayse (accused in the murder of Shawn Davis):
Exhausted and at wits end with a lying suspect, Wietholter and McGuffey told Mayse she was going to jail and walked out of the interview. Detective Brian Kane, who had been a detective for less than a year at the time, asked the senior detectives if he could take a turn with Mayse. Kane calmly entered the interrogation room despite actually knowing very little about the details of the case. Kane made Mayse back up to the very beginning of her story then slowly and methodically went through it in painstaking detail. After an hour, Mayse started to get caught up in her own lies. Before long she began to crack and finally admitted being present when Davis was killed but denied any involvement in the crime. Before Kane was done, Mayse had admitted to luring Davis to the residence after meeting him on a phone chatline, and to being present in the room when Davis was attacked.All the details from the investigation are included at the link (it's a must-read), along with all the other people sent before Kenton judges this week, and those who are still on the lam.

DEAD ANIMALS, SICK KIDS. WHAT'S GOING ON AT THIS NKY FARM?
A very bizarre story from Channel 9's I-Team:
She’s talking about 5-year-old Aidan, a quiet boy who never said a word as he sat coloring at the kitchen table of their new home. Angie says he has selective mutism and an anxiety disorder, all developed after that day when, “He was playing and he just went down. He couldn’t hold his head up.”She says she rushed him to Children’s Hospital. Medical records she provided the I-Team show doctors ran a gamut of tests trying to find the cause.“They tested for drugs, botulism, anything over-the-counter," Johnson said. "Four days later he was able to walk and regain his coordination and (the doctors’) diagnosis? ‘Unknown.’”
