In the small community of Mousie, Kentucky, a sense of unease settled over the residents in the summer of 2021. On the morning of Sunday, June 27th, a call was made to the Kentucky State Police regarding an unfamiliar vehicle parked in a driveway on Pine Tree Hollow. Responding troopers and detectives discovered a grim scene. Near the vehicle lay the body of 33-year-old Bradley Landon Mullins of Vest.
He had sustained several gunshot wounds, and the Knott County Coroner's Office pronounced him deceased at the scene.
From the outset, investigators suspected foul play in the death of the white male, and their focus quickly turned to a homicide investigation. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the full extent of his injuries. Bradley, who was born on September 29, 1987, in Clintwood, Virginia, was a beloved member of his community. The news of his violent death sent shockwaves through the area, leaving friends and family to grapple with the sudden and tragic loss.
He was survived by his mother, a special dad, his three children, and his fiancée. The community mourned the loss of a man described as having a warm personality and being dedicated to his family. Funeral services were held the following Thursday at the Nelson Frazier Funeral Home in Hindman, with burial at a local cemetery.
Despite the ongoing efforts of the Kentucky State Police, the case remains unsolved. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with Bradley Mullins's murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation is active and authorities continue to seek information from the public that could lead to a breakthrough in the case and bring a measure of justice to his grieving family and community.
