Kentucky State Police say the woman who was kidnapped in Cadiz Wednesday morning and the man accused of taking her were located Wednesday afternoon and both are now dead in what appears to have been a murder-suicide.
KSP says the suspect’s vehicle was located on US 27 in Lancaster and after a brief pursuit, the automobile was stopped near the city limits of Stanford. As troopers approached the car, they found the bodies of 53-year old Tammy Beechum of Dover, Tennessee and 65-year old Thomas Hungerford of Cadiz.
Investigators say the deaths appear to have been a murder-suicide and no other suspects are sought.
As previously reported, Beechum was reported missing about 8 a.m. Wednesday and evidence collected made it appear she had been taken by force by Hungerford from a business parking lot on Lafayette Street.
