More Twists and Turns in the Case of the Missing Bourbon

Abbey Oldham/WKU Public Radio

Franklin County authorities had hoped to announce a resolution in the Pappy Van Winkle theft case on Tuesday but it's still not closed.  
 
Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton says he is going to delay any announcements until next week, because of new developments that came to light, and continues working that and the Wild Turkey case, where five barrels of Wild Turkey were found at the home of 45-year old Gilbert Curtsinger.  
 
65-cases of Pappy Van Winkle were stolen from Buffalo Trace distillery two years ago. Melton won't say if the two thefts are related.  

 Sheriff Melton says the case involves significantly more stolen bourbon than previously thought and will eventually result in multiple indictments. He says investigators uncovered a new "major development" yesterday that will delay presenting the case to the grand jury in Frankfort.
