What does the local community lay the cause of corruption on?what does the conspiracies involve in your opinion? Money laundering, drug trafficking, politics, organized crime?

edted by me because something happened and included my question in the quote?!?!
That is a really big question, there are several things that have pointed to corruption within the Bardstown LE, one of them being that when Brooks Houck was being interview by LE about the disappearance of Crystal Rogers, Brooks brother Nick Houck called his brother during the interview and told him to leave the interview,( and at that time Nick Houck was a current Bardstown police officer) and that is what Brooks did. Then you have the fact that Tommy Ballard (Crystals Father) was killed while hunting on his own property with his grandson, there was evidence that tree limbs had been cut to make an ambush point that ran beside the highway that butted up to the Ballard property, Tommy had been extensively investigating the missing of his daughter Crystal Rogers.
And the first murder that started this mess is the only Narcotics K-9 officer was also ambushed at 2am in the morning on his way home from work, when someone put a bunch of brush in the middle of an off ramp of the highway knowing that Officer Ellis takes that route home and would get out to clear the brush over the road, he was found dead in the road with brush clutched in his hand and his service weapon had not been reached for, it has been long speculated that someone in LE was involved in Officer Ellis death as well as Tommy Ballard and you have Crystals boyfriends brother was a current LE officer when she went missing and was last seen on the family's farm property.
So there are several things that point to the speculation that some in LE are aware of what has happened in these cases and have been unwilling to do anything about them.
The FBI has finally been brought in after years of all of these cases lingering and since remains of an unknown female were found very close to the Houck family farm. They have not yet been identified as belonging to or not belonging to Crystal Rogers (they are at the FBI in Quantico VA)
There is also a unsolved double murder of of a teacher and her teen daughter at their home and there throats were slashed. Bardstown, KY is a very small community that has 5 unsolved murders, and without the FBI coming in now it seems that Bardstown LE and the Nelson County sheriff have had no plans on clearing these cases.
if you have not seen the docu-series on this case it is worth watching to be able to put all of these murders together, it can be found on the Oxygen network and also on youtube it is called "the case of Crystal Rogers"
There are other things I know about this case, as it is just a short drive from where I live, but since they have not been reported on yet by MSM I am unable to post about them at this time.
And for a direct question I think there is corruption in all of the following perspectives. LE, drugs, money laundering and gang activities. I hope this helps answer your question.
