The Bullitt County Sheriff’s Department is looking for a missing man who may be in danger following the discovery of a woman’s body inside a burned out home.
Capt. Mike Murdoch said the missing man, 60 year-old Craig Ickes, owns the home in the 200 block of W. Audubon Drive that was set on fire around 9:35 p.m. Wednesday.
Ickes is a former truck driver who met the deceased woman out of state. Neighbors told investigators the two were in a relationship and lived together for several years.
Ickes still has vehicles outside the home. Murdoch said Ickes was seen at the home about 1 p.m. on Wednesday, the day of the fire.
Police said they have been searching in the woods along West Audubon Drive since Ickes disappeared.
The victim, who has not been identified, was found dead in the living room of the home.
Police said they have been at the home before for calls of shots fired.
Murdoch said they have reason to believe Ickes did not participate in the woman’s death.
A person of interest was interviewed by police and released from custody.
Authorities do not believe this incident was a random crime.
Murdoch urged neighbors to remain vigilant and call police at 502-543-2514 or email a tip to crimetip@bcky.org if they see Ickes or have any information in the case.
