A 45-year-old man who served time in prison for murdering his mother and brother was arrested for allegedly killing two people, shooting at a third, and setting a house on fire this week.

WKLY-TV reports Caudill was arrested in 1994 for fatally shooting his 10-year-old brother during an argument, then killing his mother when she got home. He was 15 years old at the time. Caudill served 24 years behind bars and was released on parole in April 2020. He reportedly violated his parole and was sent back to prison in May 2023 until July 2024.

According to a statement, on Wednesday, Oct. 30, just before 5 a.m., the Elizabethtown Fire Department responded to the 500 block of Hennon Lane for a residential fire. When firefighters entered the home, they reportedly located two deceased individuals. The Elizabethtown Police Department identified the victims as 41-year-old Blake France and 43-year-old Anthony Garrett.
.................... Officials arrested Caudill and booked him into the Hardin County Jail on charges of first-degree arson, two counts of murder, tampering with physical evidence, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, first-degree robbery, and first-degree wanton endangerment.

I was reading a post on this subreddit about Beshear's chance in the 2028 presidential race and read other users who were saying that while a presidential primary might be tough to win, Beshear could potentially win a Senate race in Kentucky.

I think it's worth pointing out that state politics and federal politics are two separate leagues, and both Republicans and Democrats make the mistake of ignoring that fact. You can point to several examples of governors affiliated with a state's minority party running in Senate elections and losing by decisive margins, such as MT Gov. Bullock in 2020 and former TN Gov. Bredesen in 2018.

Also, some people claimed that Beshear might have a chance if he ran against Daniel Cameron, but I would be shocked if that proved true. Although he was defeated last year, Cameron is someone who won a state election by 15 points in 2019, and when the subject of federal issues comes up in a Senate election, the vast majority of Kentuckians agree with Cameron's positions over Beshear's. I know a lot of KY Dems don't like hearing that, but this is one of the most conservative states in the country, and that's just the honest truth.

Beyond running for Louisville's congressional seat (which won't happen cause McGarvey just got elected) or for the presidency in 2028, Beshear basically has no options for public office. I suppose if a Democrat won the next presidential election, then he could be chosen to be VP (unlikely) or some cabinet position, but honestly, after he leaves office in 2027, I think his career in public office is over.

Hello there,

I signed a month-to-month lease for a house, paid the rent upfront, and also paid the deposit. But before I moved in, I told the landlord that I decided to stay in my current place. Since then, I haven’t heard back from him.

How can I get my deposit back?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Good luck to those out hunting this morning. So excited. Time to stock the freezer. Have fun and be safe out there!

Hello all, I recently inherited an older firearm (1948 manufacture date) and it is stamped C.N. Co. My grandfather bought it used in the mid 60's, and the history of the firearms past was unknown before he acquired it. My grandfather lived and worked in Louisville. Does anyone have an idea if there was/is a C.N. Co around that area that would have issued a 30-30 rifle to their employees in the late 40's? I appreciate any help or possibilities that could lead me deeper down this rabbit hole. Thanks.

anybody know anybody who sell batterys thats not more than $15 in (covington ky)

i dont want tg to a smoke shop because even tho im 16 i look like a 12yld and its awkward

I've heard some people saying they would like Beshear to run in 2028.

I know that a lot can change in the political landscape in 4 years, but he might be able to run a winning campaign if he remains a good governor, and especially if Trump does a bad job, and many economists are saying that he will ruin the economy if his plans are implemented.

When Beshear was asked the other day if he would run in 2028, he said, "we'll see what the future holds," which sounds like he might be considering it but will make up his mind when 2028 comes around.

I think his biggest hurdle is that he isn't as nationally recognized as a presidential candidate should be. That was an issue that some people claimed they had with Kamala, but I also think that was a lazy and misogynistic excuse.

His accent might also be a slight hindrance because unfortunately a country accent is usually associated with not being smart.

Also, I think him running wouldn't be enough to make Kentucky a battleground state

I have heard MAGA people saying they want JD Vance or one of Donald's kids (they usually say Don Jr.) to run in 2028. How do you think Beshear could do up against the likes of them?

(22M) looking for drinking buddies to hit some bars/events with. Most of my friends are occasional drinkers or work weekends. Was hoping to find some groups to hit the town with.

Hello, I am a recent graduate of Bellarmine. I moved here for college from Indianapolis, and I am also in the Army Reserves based out of Bowman Field here in Louisville. I was able to secure a job here post-graduation, and there seems to be a tax-reciprocity agreement between the two states, but I want to get a Kentucky ID and start the official process of domicile. Everything I have seen online includes submitting bills in my name, however, I live with my husband who is a Kentucky resident and the bills are all in his name from his accounts. Aside from the obvious of switching these bills to my name (he gets an amazing deal in his name from his job so this isn't ideal), is anyone aware of an alternative process? Thank you in advance!

Here are a few of mine. Ever thought about taking the family out to Red River Gorge? You know, where fathers go from ‘ordinary dude’ to ‘legendary outdoorsman’…or, at least, try not to get hopelessly lost. Sure, social media shows those perfect family shots at scenic overlooks, everyone in peak photogenic form. But you and I both know the real deal:

• You’re hauling enough supplies to survive a zombie apocalypse.
• Your wife is wondering why you didn’t just pick the zoo.
• And your kids are already asking if there’s WiFi in the wilderness.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being “that dad” who’s got it all figured out in the great outdoors—this is the guide for you. From the “Pack Like a Special Ops Dad” approach to the “Pretend I Know Where I’m Going” navigation tips, this is your man-guide to hitting the Gorge without losing your dignity (or your kids).

Currently, neither of Kentucky's major cities are served by passenger rail. However, there is an existing rail line connecting Louisville and Lexington through Frankfort and Shelbyville that could be used to run a state-supported Amtrak service. Such a service would make it significantly easier to travel between the two cities without a car since there are currently no public transit options between them, and would help to reduce traffic on I-64. Since the two cities are only about 70 miles apart, the overall operating cost would be relatively inexpensive, and as with other state-supported Amtrak services would cover about half of it's operating budget with ticket revenue and half with state funding. For a route of this length, a service frequency of roughly every two hours per direction (8 trains per direction per day) would be reasonable by American standards, though could potentially be increased in the future if demand is high enough. I encourage you to discuss your thoughts on the question, especially if you live in one of the cities on the route (Louisville, Shelbyville, Frankfort, Lexington).

I moved out on the 6th of October, and I've received no communication regarding my deposit from my landlord. No email, no snail mail, no phone call. I called them this morning to ask and they said it was currently waiting in their accounting office, but the manager was out for the week so I'll have to wait.

Do I have any room to twist their arm about it? It's not my fault they waited until the last minute.

Hello everyone!! i’m trying to plan a little weekend trip to Kentucky in December! What is there to do in Kentucky in December? Also good food places and if there are RV parks in a good area too!!

They are at the animal shelter and being taken care of but need a loving home together. I live out of state and can’t take them. My brother loved them so much and it breaks my heart that they have to be in a cage when they had his large country property to run free. We don’t know how old the larger one is but the Jack Russell is a puppy. Both are female. The shelter thinks they can find them a home, but can’t guarantee they’d go together so I wanted to get the word out as far as possible. They were in the house with him for 5 days before he was found. He collapsed from a heart attack when he walked inside and left the door open so they weren’t locked in with him and the authorities took them to the shelter. It is hard enough losing my brother but thinking about his babies is devastating.

Can anyone recommend a good independent Subaru mechanic in the Louisville, Lexington, or anywhere in between? Specifically, I am looking for someone familiar with servicing a Subaru CVT. Dealerships are too expensive, and most mechanics near me are not familiar with CVTs.

Building a terrace-style garden in these hills has been both challenging and rewarding. I've been tackling a mountain of paperwork lately, but I wanted to take a break to share some of the progress and the experiences I've had along the way. From preparing the land to planning what to grow. there's a lot that goes into turning this vision into reality.

Ask me anything about starting an organic farm, terrace gardening, or just what it’s like to build something sustainable here in Eastern Kentucky. I’d love to share what I’ve learned (and learn from your ideas too)!

Taking a day out to Richmond soon and not familiar to the area. Are there any nice spots for a date there or any steakhouse restaurants? Also any peddlers malls or places to walk around?

Hi, everyone! Over the past couple years, I’ve transitioned and updated my name and gender markers on pretty much everything in the state except for my birth certificate. Due to recent events, I started thinking about trying to go ahead and do that now as well. I know that the state of Kentucky requires a letter from a physician confirming that you’ve had confirmation surgery in order to change the gender marker on your birth certificate, but does anyone know if chest reconstruction surgery is sufficient for that? I don’t plan on getting anything else done, at least not in the immediate future. I would love to hear from anyone who has firsthand experience with this! Thanks in advance 🩵
