The Kentucky State Police is conducting a murder investigation in Meade County and the alleged suspect is still at large.

According to KSP Post Four, just before 1 p.m. Monday the Meade County Sheriff’s Office contacted the KSP “regarding a deceased individual located at a residence on Simpson Lane in the Ekron community”. Troopers and detectives responded to the scene and began an investigation.

KSP Post Four says the preliminary investigation indicates 55-year-old Mary Crase of Brandenburg sustained at least one gunshot wound. The alleged suspect, identified as Scott Hornback of Irvington, fled the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement.

Hornback remains at large at this time. He is described as a 5’8’ tall white male weighing 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Hornback should be considered armed and dangerous and the public is urged not to approach him if he is seen.

Anybody with possible information on Hornback or his whereabouts is asked to contact KSP Post Four at 270-766-5078 or call 911 immediately. The investigation is ongoing and additional updates will be posted as they become available.
