Overview

• Troopers found Damian Poole’s decomposed body in the Stearns camper he shared with Daniel Kearney, with his ankles bound and apparent gunshot wounds.
• Two dogs were discovered shot dead inside the residence, forming part of the cruelty-to-animals charge.
• An alleged checklist detailed cleaning the home, removing evidence, painting with an odor sealant, burning remaining items, and dispersing ashes outside Kentucky.
• Investigators seized firearms, including an AR-style rifle, along with bullet-casing evidence, bullet holes, and blood-stained materials.
• Kearney is held at the Knox County Detention Center on $1 million bond and is scheduled for arraignment Thursday, as forensic analysis and the medical examiner’s review continue without a stated motive.
