Authorities are investigating after a kidnapping on Lafayette Street in Cadiz led to a pursuit, and a murder-suicide investigation Wednesday afternoon.
Kentucky State Police say they were called just after 8 am for a female that had been kidnapped from a Cadiz business parking lot and after talking with witnesses were able to identify her as 53-year-old Tammy Beechum of Dover.
Police say the suspect 65-year-old Thomas Hungerford of Cadiz and Beechum were located on US 27 in Lancaster and he fled from law enforcement leading them on a brief pursuit near Stanford.
When authorities approached the vehicle the bodies of Hungerford and Beechum were found in what police say appears to be the result of a murder-suicide.
Police say Hungerford is the estranged boyfriend of Beechum.
