Arrest made in 2006 murder

Investigation by the Christian County Sheriff’s Office has led to a grand jury indictment and arrest in connection with a murder from 16 years ago.

The grand jury recently indicted 56-year old Regina Vause of Hopkinsville for murder and first degree robbery in connection with the April, 2006 death of Roscoe Mayes at a home in the 2000 block of Greenville Road.

The indictment alleges Vause used some type of instrument to stab or beat Mayes to death during the course of a robbery, or that she acted as an accomplice in the crime.

Detective Malcolm Moore was the most recent investigator of the case and Vause was arrested by the sheriff’s office and lodged in the Christian County Jail on a $1 million bond.
