Jack E. Roerink, Sr., 79, a retired General Motors welder, was found stabbed to death in his Eubank, Kentucky, home in January 2010. The discovery of his body indicated a violent crime and led investigators to a nearby resident, Michael Andrew Abner, who lived less than a mile away. Evidence at the scene, including a vehicle Abner had driven to Roerink’s home, connected him to the killing, and Roerink’s stolen truck was later recovered.

After being found hiding under a mobile home, Abner confessed that he had broken a window to enter during the night, stabbed Roerink multiple times with a kitchen knife, and stolen items including a rifle and the truck. He told investigators the motive was robbery. Abner also admitted responsibility for two unsolved murders from the 1980s. If anyone knew Roerink or has information about his life or the events that led to January 2010, please share what you remember.
