A murder trial has been delayed due to a time conflict with the main investigator – namely, new Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office’s Bobby Jones and his training to take over
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.
Gerald A. Hendricks
A Science Hill man indicted earlier this month in connection to the fatal disappearance of LeeAnna Brumley has pleaded not guilty to her murder.
Gerald Avalon Hendricks, 55, of Science Hill, was arraigned in Pulaski Circuit Court on May 20 after being indicted earlier in the month on charges of Murder and Tampering with Physical Evidence in connection to Brumley s fatal shooting in the spring of 2019.
Hendricks joins 34-year-old Danelle Nicole Powell of Somerset, who was indicted for Murder back in January 2020. Her trial is currently scheduled to begin on August 16. Her original trial date had been last October before all trials were put on hold due to the pandemic.
