Letcher County Man Found Dead In Pike County. Three Arrested. More Arrests Could Be Pending.
The Kentucky State Police have made three arrests thus far in the murder case of a Letcher County man.
The body of 70 year-old Ralph Marcum was found in the Dorton area of Pike County.
Police responded to the Neon residence of the victim after a woman called authorities saying that she found blood and she was afraid something happened.
Authorities arrested John W. Pigg, 37, of Thornton and charged him with murder. Christina Collins, 31, of Millstone and Lloyd S. Pigg, 37, of Jenkins were charged with complicity to commit murder.
Trooper Tony Watts of Post 13 told us Monday that it will take several weeks to get the results of the autopsy and that more arrests could be made.
