It's sad that a family has had to wait so long for justice.

Is cold case thawing?
“We have new information ... it’s a very active case,” revealed Karl Clinard, public affairs officer for the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department. “We are waiting on lab reports,” Clinard added. He didn’t elaborate further ... except “we never close a case, regardless of how old it is ... when there is new information, the case becomes active.”
The decaying bodies of Gibson and Garrett, both of 324 High Street, were found July 7, 1994, in a fencerow about 10 feet east of the corporate limits of Somerset and about 1,000 yards east of Village Green subdivision off Rush Branch Road.

"Linda Gibson was a fun-loving and easygoing 21-year-old woman, according to her younger brother, Clayton Gibson. “She was real shy. She loved her family, and we love her too,” Clayton told Dateline. “Linda was the best sister in the world.”
According to Clayton, the Gibson family had always lived in the Somerset, Kentucky, area. He told Dateline that in 1994, Linda lived with her 4-year-old daughter, Stephanie, not too far from the family.
Clayton said that on July 3, 1994, Linda had been watching her younger half-brother, Cody Garrett. He told Dateline that Cody was a sweet and innocent 4-year-old. Clayton said that Linda’s daughter, Stephanie, was being watched by Linda’s mother that day. Clayton said that the half-siblings went for a walk to the local grocery store that day. They never returned home...
Clayton told Dateline that in the weeks and months leading up to July 3, his sister had told him and their father that she thought someone was going to hurt her. Clayton said that his father would beg Linda to tell them who she was talking about and why. He would say, “If you don’t tell us, we can’t help you.” Clayton told Dateline that Linda would just sit there and cry."

Heartbreaking.
I can’t imagine the frustration of knowing who killed your children and being unable to get justice. It’s not a mystery. The discovery of the bodies was a compete circus act. Warrants were served. Evidence was collected. The family has stood on the sidewalk holding signs naming the killer. Kentucky Gone Cold: At the Edge of Town: The Murder of Linda Gibson and Cody Garrett on Apple Podcasts
I also can’t imagine this case not getting more public interest, especially since the Sheriff was assassinated in the most Kentucky way possible, at a fish fry, by a former deputy also running for Sheriff. Sam Catron - Wikipedia There’s been no progress since. Kentucky politics are as crooked as a logging road. Regular people don’t often volunteer to get involved. See Brooklyn Farthing and Kandi Green Gonzales on websleuths. It’s like 1920s Chicago, with less liquor.
Pulaski has a long reputation for corruption, assassination, and famously unsolved murders.
