A Breckinridge County man wanted for murdering a Meade County woman has been found dead.

The incident began when Kentucky State Police responded on Monday afternoon at approximately 1:00 to a home on Simpson Lane in Ekron in Meade County after the Meade County Sheriff’s Office discovered a deceased female, 55-year-old Mary Crase, at the residence.

Crase was suffering from “at least one gunshot wound,” state police said.

The suspect, 45-year-old Scott Hornback, of Irvington, fled the scene prior to law enforcement arrival and remains at large.

In an update, Kentucky State Police Post 4 Public Affairs Officer Bryan Washer said that Hornback has been found deceased.
