Corky L. Hendricks
A local man previously identified as a witness to the 2019 murder of LeeAnna Brumley has now been sentenced to five years for his role in the attempted coverup.
Corky Lee Hendricks, 41, of Science Hill, pleaded guilty last month via Rocket Docket to one count of Tampering with Physical Evidence.
The charge stems from the May 22, 2019, fatal shooting of Brumley.
Brumley was 25 when she disappeared in May 2019. A break in the case came that fall after local law enforcement announced that Hendricks was wanted for questioning but it was ultimately 34-year-old Danelle Nicole Powell who was charged with Brumley s murder.

A local man identified as a witness to the 2019 murder of LeeAnna Brumley is awaiting trial on a separate charge.
Corky Lee Hendricks, 40, of Science Hill, was initially due to stand trial last week on charges of Convicted Felon in Possession of a Handgun; Cultivation of Marijuana, 5 or More Plants (1st offense); and two counts of first-degree Persistent Felony Offender.
Hendricks current charges are not connected to the Brumley murder and he has not been charged in that case. However, he was appointed conflict counsel so that he wouldn t have to be represented by the local public defender s office, which had already been appointed to someone else also involved with the Brumley case.
