On Friday, May 6, 2016, Robert John McQuinn, 70, and his wife, Ada Pearl McQuinn, 66, were found dead of gunshot wounds inside their brick home on Wilson Lane in Booneville, Kentucky after a family member contacted authorities. The deaths were investigated as a double homicide.

That same day Kentucky State Police took the couple’s 48-year-old daughter, Lynette McQuinn, into custody. She was charged with two counts of murder and an additional count of tampering with physical evidence and was lodged in the Three Forks Regional Jail with bond set at $1 million. Reports noted she had a history of mental illness, which was mentioned during the investigation.

The community continues to absorb the impact of a family destroyed by violence. If anyone knew the McQuinns or has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
