KSP: Suspect arrested in Cumberland Co. murder

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

Burkesville, KY - On September 26, 2022, at approximately 1:03 P.M. CST, Kentucky State Police (KSP), Post 15, received a call from Cumberland County 911. They requested investigative assistance regarding finding a deceased male inside a residence on Glasgow Road in Burkesville, Ky.

KSP Troopers and Detectives responded to the scene and learned 53-year-old Michael Harding, of Celina, Tennessee, had suffered fatal injuries from apparent gunshot wounds.

The ensuing investigation led KSP to partner with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other local and state law enforcement agencies in Kentucky, Tennessee, and California, as the planning and execution of the crime included multiple local and state jurisdictions.

Information obtained through this collective effort led to the arrest of 60-year-old Thomas O'Donnell of Napa, CA., in Sacramento, CA, on Thursday, December 8, 2022. KSP, the FBI, and local authorities arrested O'Donnell at the Sacramento International airport, charging him with the Murder of Michael Harding.

The Columbia Kroger Store, 1936 - 1959

By JIM

After James T. Page died intestate, unmarried, and sine prole in the spring of 1926, it took years for his estate, consisting in great part of vast land holdings, to be settled among the four surviving collateral line heirs, to-wit: his brother, Dr. Lafayette Page; his sister, Mary Jane Blakeman; a niece, Elma Fraser; and a nephew, Paul Azbill.

The land holdings included town lot 60, running from the exit corner of Campbellsville Street to the east corner of the square, and a part of the adjoining town lot 59, extending from the east corner to what is now called North Reed Street.
