Possible New Development in Murder of Bardstown Officer

Bardstown Police Department

Kentucky State Police say there is new information in the investigation into the shooting death of Bardstown Police officer Jason Ellis. 

An outside K-9 group got involved in the case, according to State Police Trooper Norman Chaffins, and the dog led investigators from the crime scene to a nearby pond.  Chaffins says the Louisville Police dive squad is combing the pond for clues.

Chaffins adds, they're not sure what will turn up, but it's just part of the lengthy investigation in which they are leaving no stones unturned.

Officer Ellis was killed in the early morning hours of May 25, while he was cleaning tree limbs from a ramp on the Bluegrass Parkway.
