ACSO: Fake calls are not from Sheriff's Office By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office Today we have received several phone calls from Adair County residents stating they have received fraudulent calls that appeared to be from Adair County Sheriff's Office. These calls consist of people being told they have a summons or warrants on them that do not exist. The callers are using employees names of the Sheriff's Office. The number that is showing up on most of these calls is 270-290-1369. We believe they are using an app to change the outgoing number, and we are trying to track down the source at this time. The Sheriffs Office will not ever call and ask you for personal information over the phone. We do not accept payment for fines over the phone by credit card, nor do we ask for them. We do not call and tell you we have a warrant and are on our way if you don't pay as we ask. If you receive a call that appears to be from the Sheriff's Office, tell them that you'll call the Sheriff's Office back, and then dial 270-384-2776. 2019-07-16 15:03:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports

Lexington police digging into 40 year old mystery By Valarie Honeycutt Spears, Lexington Herald-Leader Lexington police have renewed their search for the body of Melanie Flynn, a Lexington woman from a prominent family who has been missing since 1977 and whose disappearance has been one of the city's most enduring mysteries, Lt. Albert Johnson said. The people thought to be involved in her disappearance "had influence, they were powerful, there was money," said Johnson, who heads the homicide unit for Lexington police. The case figured in a book called The Bluegrass Conspiracy: An Inside Story about Power, Greed, Drugs and Murder published nearly 30 years ago. It was also written about in a 1989 Herald-Leader series called "Birds of a Feather" about former local law enforcement officers and others in Central Kentucky who fell into the drug trade. Lexington and Kentucky State Police officers were at Murphy's Landing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Mercer County last Friday searching for possible evidence in the Melanie Flynn case.

Moon Landing movie screening and discussion series at WKU By Tommy Newton Saturday's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, taking place at WKU's Hardin Planetarium, features screenings and discussions of excellent but rare Apollo 11 related films. The event, which starts at 1pmCT and continues throughout the day on Saturday, July 20, 2019, will be held in the Ogden College Hall auditorium at the corner of State Street and 14th Avenue in Bowling Green. All movies are free to the public and discussion of each movie will follow its screening. It is not required that visitors attend every movie: people can drop in and out over the course of the day. Nearby parking is available free of charge. The film Apollo 11 came to Nashville this March, including the IMAX screen, but never made it to Bowling Green. There will be one showing of Apollo 11 at 4:45pmCT on Saturday. Apollo 11 consists of restored and rediscovered footage taken during preparation for the mission and on the trip itself, and provides a powerful sense of Apollo 11's mission from the Earth to the Moon and back again. Richard Gelderman, Hardin Planetarium's director, was amazed at the emotion and excitement conveyed in this film. He noted as he sat in the audience that "we were all on the edge of our seats, even though we knew good and well how it was going to end." "It felt a bit like time traveling back to 1969," said Ronn Kistler, Hardin Planetarium's coordinator, "especially with the soundtrack of communications between Mission Control and the crew."
