WESTERN KY (1/3/12)— The Kentucky State Police (KSP) investigate criminal activity across the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky, and, in many instances, the information provided by individual citizens allows law enforcement officials to make important breakthroughs in difficult cases.
With this in mind, members of the KSP Post 16 in Henderson, KY are requesting help from the public in solving the murder investigation of Donald Ray Baird.
As reported per KSP officials, Baird was discovered in Morganfield, KY (Union County) at the #4 Townhouse Apartments over 30 years ago on July 7th, 1981.
Baird, a 25 year-old white male, was first located by his brother in his apartment. Baird was shot to death.
The murder weapon, which was privately owned by Baird—a .38 caliber revolver—was found lying beside the victim at the apartment complex. Evidence shows that Baird died from two shots to the chest and one shot to the head from the weapon.
At this time, detectives with the KSP are requesting help from the community or anyone who might have information on the murder of Donald Ray Baird. Anyone with information can contact the case officers, Sgt. Jackie Carver or Lt. Sean McKinney, with the Kentucky State Police Post 16 in Henderson, KY at (270) 826-3312 or via email at
