After the murder of Officer Jason Ellis, the relatively small area of Bardstown, Kentucky was on-edge. However, their fears were not soothed with the introduction of a troubled group of young men, who called themselves the "Bardstown Money Gang." In the following years, a woman and her teenage daughter - named Kathy and Samantha Netherland - were mysterious found murdered in their own home. And with the backdrop of these prior tragedies - the veil of police corruption looming around the town - a young mother went missing, showing that one of America's most beautiful small towns had some ugly truths to face. Part two of two. Written and hosted by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

In 2013, Officer Jason Ellis lived out his life as if it was any other. He was a family man, with a wife and two young sons - one of which was special needs.

However, one evening would see the lives of everyone around his forever changed, and create a mystery that has marred the image of a legendary town. Part one of two.  Written and hosted by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.
