State Troopers ask for help in solving cold case

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (WTVQ) – Kentucky State Police are hoping someone can help them solve a murder case that dates back to 1972.

According to Troopers, on Friday, July 28th of that year, at around 4:00 p.m., Larry Stinson Key left his job at the Cave City Truck Stop, and drove his blue and white 1967 Ford Convertible north on I-65 toward his home in Glendale. Officers say around 4:30 p.m., Key took the north bound Glendale exit off of I-65 and stopped on the ramp. That’s when police say two men in a two-tone vehicle stopped on the ramp behind him. The driver of the two-toned vehicle got out of his car and approached the driver’s side of Key’s car and fired a shot inside the vehicle, say police. Troopers say Key then got out of his car and ran toward I-65, when he was shot a second time. Key was later pronounced dead at the scene.
