Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And if you've never heard of Amber Spradlin's case, well, then you're not from Eastern Kentucky. Because in Floyd County, this case is all people are talking about. For over a year, this could have been considered a who done it. Six people went into a house. One ends up dead. One is covered in blood

and failed a polygraph. The one with scratches left the house right around the time when the murder

is thought to have happened. Two others don't seem to be talking to police at all. And at least

one did talk, but said that she went to bed that night and everyone was fine when she did.

And a camera that was pointed right at where the crime took place and should have made this an open and shut case is just missing.

But some people in town never considered this a whodunit.

They believe that the person police arrested,

the one that's about to go on trial here any day, they believe he did the crime he's charged with,

a brutal murder of a young woman who had already been dealt one of the toughest hands in life.

There are still questions, mainly why? Thirty-eight-year-old Amber Spradlin hardly knew these people. So why would someone cut her throat, stab her in the face, and leave

her dead and covered in blood on the couch till morning? And why would a police chief, unconnected to the investigation,

allegedly tell Amber's family that she wasn't murdered at all and just died by aspiration?

Something in Floyd County stinks.

And based on what we found, this might just be scratching the surface of what's been happening

there.

So with the trial right around the corner, we're trying to make sense of what happened to

Amber Spradlin that night in June of 2023.

Her mom and sister died when she was young, and she was barely into her 20s when she lost her dad.
