I was back in Breathitt County today for what we all thought was going to be a preliminary hearing for Felicia Gross, the woman charged with the death of her son, 10-year-old Jayden Spicer.

Nearly an hour into the hearing being pushed back, the Commonwealth’s Attorney for the area dropped new information:

❗️There was no more preliminarily hearing. A grand jury indicted Felicia earlier that morning.

❗️Felicia was now being charged with murder instead of manslaughter.

❗️THEN the update none of us saw coming - a second person was being charged in this case.

Read more about it below ⬇️

Gross briefly appeared in court earlier Monday morning.

After the week-long search for 10-year-old Jayden Spicer ended in tragedy, the community members who’ve been praying for his return are sharing their thoughts on this situation.

An arrest citation is revealing new details about the death of 10-year-old Jayden Spicer in Breathitt County.

It’s an update no one covering this situation wanted to make.

KSP confirmed with me earlier that the body of 10-year-old Jayden Spicer was found.

I was just speaking with his aunts this morning and they were holding out hope that he’d return home safely.

We all need to send some prayers their way tonight.

I had a surprise visitor during my story today - my brother, Kole!

I was wrapping up an interview when I saw him riding his bike across the street and thought, “hey, I know that kid!” 😂

He got to watch me in action too, reporting on a story that impacts students just like him - Senate Bill 181!

Two days after police say Guy House shot five people in Lexington, killing two of them, his ex-girlfriend opened up to me about the week leading up to the tragedy.

I got a copy of the protective order filed against him by her, but it was never served.

His ex-girlfriend is still wondering what would’ve happened if her situation was taken more seriously.
