Letcher County Killer Denied Parole
Earlier this week, the Kentucky Parole Board denied parole for confessed notorius Letcher County murderer, 51 year old Donald Terry Bartley. Bartley of Evarts (Harlan County) was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the August 1985 murder of 23 year old Tammy Dee Acker and robbery and attempted murder of her father, 79 year old Roscoe J. Acker of Fleming Neon. Bartley pleaded guilty in 1987 and testified he and death row inmates Roger Epperson and Benny Lee Hodge fatally stabbed Tammy Acker after robbing Dr. Roscoe Acker's bedside safe of $1.9 million.
