The West Virginia State Police (WVSP) said on Friday that they had apprehended Timothy Kennedy, the man they believe k!lled Sgt. Cory Maynard. The WVSP reports that the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Timothy Kennedy of Beech Creek, was apprehended shortly before 11 p.m. after being discovered in a stolen vehicle.
He was feared because he had we@pons. Officials in the area advised locals to stay indoors while they searched for Kennedy. In 2020, when Kennedy was 26 years old, she went m!ssing. A closed coal mine in the Gilbert area yielded his body 400 feet underground in the end.
During their investigation, the rescue team discovered copper had been stolen. At the time, Kennedy had become lost after trespassing, according to the Department of Health and Human Resources. The WVSP reported in 2015 that Sgt. Maynard received the Lifesaving Award for his actions in January 2014, when he prevented the de@th of a pursuit suspect.
