Hope this search leads to something. If anyone learns of anything, please post it here. I wonder if anyone owns the property in Mercer County that is being checked or is it owned by the county or the commonwealth? I noted the possible involvement of the Lexington Metro Police in this. Does that agency still remain under a cloud as we have come to read about in connection with this case?
I wish I knew the address of "Triad" - the property owned by Thornton, Canan... As I would love to see how close it is to the current search area.

In the book, The Bluegrass Conspiracy, Herrington Lake and the Ky River are both referred to as the location of Thornton’s Triad Farm. The location is near Nicholasville but closer to the Wilmore and Shakertown area. Mike Kelly later had a farm in that same area, lived there until he died (cancer). The KY River runs through that area, a tributary of the KY River is Dix River which runs into Herrington Lake. No one wants to go down under on that lake, as it’s treacherous—you would likely never be found. When the lake was formed, all was left as it was damned up—trees, undergrowth & Lord knows what.
It's close but not the same area. Murphy's Landing is off US 68 in Mercer Co heading towards Harrodsburg. Their used to be a restaurant there, on this property called Murphy's Inn (?). I've driven by this a million times, it's around the curve after the Brooklyn bridge.I wish I knew the address of "Triad" - the property owned by Thornton, Canan...

The Triad is near Camp Nelson along the Kentucky riverThank you, msboo!
I have searched for an address many times but haven't found anything. Maybe property records search would give me an address but I don't know if that's public info. Maybe that's something I should check into? I wonder who owns the land now.
