Summary

On April 22nd, 2014 a mother and daughter from Bardstown, Kentucky are noticeably absent from work/school. 48-year old Kathy and 16-year old Samantha are rarely even late, so their absence is noted as being very unlike them.

When family is called to check in on the two Netherland ladies, it soon becomes apparent that something is wrong.

Soon, the region finds itself facing its second high-profile murder case in less than a year. This time, the targets aren't a police officer - but a special education teacher and a high school student. There is no apparent motive, but the crime seems personal...


This is the second part of a new Unresolved series, Bardstown - Revisited. I originally covered Kathy and Samantha's story back in February of 2016, but have gone back and expanded upon, rewritten, and rerecorded everything.


Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan

That skepticism would continue to mount throughout 2014, when another shocking crime brought

Bardstown to the forefront of Kentucky headlines.

This time, the crime was a savage double murder that would be every bit as tragic and even

ago.

This entire series is a re-exploration of the mysterious crimes plaguing Bardstown

in Kentucky, which is beginning to grow from the original two episodes I put together

back in 2016, to a much more explanatory and detailed series.
