From Kentucky State Police Post 10 -
On December 10, 2018 at 6:16 p.m. Kentucky State Police, Post 10 Harlan, received a call from Knox County Dispatch requesting assistance after human remains had been located off of Garland Cemetery Road in the Gray community of Knox County. Troopers and Detectives from Post 10 responded to the location and began an investigation.
Preliminary investigation indicated a 15 year old juvenile was riding his four wheeler in a wooded area off of Garland Cemetery Rd when he came across human remains. After locating the remains, KSP was notified to investigate.
The human remains were sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Frankfort for identification and a cause of death. KSP has since learned, the human remains were of Adam Pinkley. Pinkley was 34 years old at the time of death and based off of evidence collected, he was murdered on or about May 31, 2018.
KSP also discovered Pinkley was reported missing to Laurel County Sheriff’s Office in 2018 before his remains where located in Knox County. The victim has ties to Laurel, Knox and Whitley Counties.
