A multi-county pursuit from Madison to Laurel County ended Wednesday with the discovery of a deceased female inside the suspect vehicle and a Florida man charged with murder.
David Maurice Reed, 54, of St. Petersburg, Florida, is facing charges of murder-domestic violence, tampering with physical evidence, abuse of a corpse, first-degree fleeing or evading police (motor vehicle), second-degree criminal mischief, second-degree wanton endangerment of a police officer, resisting arrest, careless driving, and no operator's license in connection to the incident that began around 10 a.m. on Interstate 75 in Madison County.
According to Kentucky State Police Post 11 Public Affairs Officer Scottie Pennington, state troopers attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle driving carelessly along I-75 near mile marker 83.

A "stranger" LOL
The police are citing it as a domestic violence/murder. :lol
The driver did stop but when troopers approached the vehicle he took off at a high rate of speed," Trp. Pennington said. "The pursuit went through multiple counties including Madison, Rockcastle and Laurel. While in Laurel County, we received assistance from the Laurel County Sheriff's Office and other agencies to get this vehicle to slow down. Continuing through Laurel County, the vehicle struck several Kentucky State Police cruisers. The troopers were able to get the vehicle stopped and got the suspect detained."
Pennington said that's when the situation became more complex.
"Troopers located what they thought to be a body in the back seat of the vehicle. On further investigation, they did locate a deceased female in the back of the SUV," he said, adding that the suspect was then arrested.
UPDATE: On Thursday afternoon, Kentucky State Police Post 11 in London released the victim's identity following notification of next of kin. Rachel Louise Carder, 53, was from Huntington, WV. This case remains under investigation by Post 11 London Detective Ryan Loudermilk.
