In 1991, Robert Foley shot and killed brothers Rodney and Lynn Vaughn in his own home in Laurel County, Kentucky. At the time of the murders, 10 other adults and five children were present.
Male guests had checked their pistols in a kitchen cabinet, however, Foley kept his .38 Colt snub-nose revolver concealed under his shirt. The men were drinking and a fight broke out between Foley and Rodney Vaughn. Foley knocked Rodney to the floor, pulled his gun, and shot him six times. With multiple gunshot wounds to the left arm and body, Vaughn bled out and died. Foley then shot Lynn Vaughn in the back of the head, killing him as well.
Foley and three accomplices dumped the brothers' bodies in a nearby creek, where they were discovered two days later. Foley was charged with capital murder. After a jury trial, Foley was sentenced to Death on September 2, 1993, in Laurel County.
In 1994, Foley was convicted for the 1989 murders of Kim Bowerstock, Calvin Reynolds, Lillian Contino, and Jerry McMillan. The four victims had recently arrived from Ohio. Foley was angered after reaching the conclusion that Bowerstock had told his parole officer that he was selling drugs.
Foley found Bowerstock and assaulted her. When Reynolds came to her assistance, Foley pulled out his pistol. After shooting Reynolds, he took aim at Bowerstock, Contino, and McMillan. He then returned to Bowerstock to shoot her again in the back of the head. None of the four survived.
Foley relieved his victims of any valuables and then placed their bodies in a septic tank, after which, he covered them with lime and cement. The bodies were not found until two years later. Foley was sentenced to death for the four murders on April 27, 1994, in Madison County, Kentucky.
