KSP investigates missing person and murder in Marion Co.

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

Lebanon, KY - On the evening of December 23, 2022, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 received a complaint of a missing person in Marion County.

Family members spoke with KSP Troopers and reported that Kevin Thomas Elder, age 56 of Elizabethtown, was missing and he was last known to have been in the Raywick community of Marion County.

The ensuing investigation led KSP to obtain and execute a search warrant on a property and residence belonging to Donald Keith Elders, age 53 of Raywick, on the morning of December 29, 2022. Information obtained during the execution of the search warrant lead investigators to locate the body of Mr. Elder in an outbuilding on the property. Mr. Elders was subsequently arrested and charged with murder and has been lodged in the Marion County Detention Center.


Detective Mike Dubree continues his investigation of this case. Det. Dubree was assisted by other KSP Post 15 Troopers, KSP Aircraft Branch, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, Marion County Sheriff's Department, and Marion County Coroner.
