PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County man indicted on attempted murder and arson charges is now being featured in Kentucky State Police’s "Wanted Wednesday" campaign this week.
Fifty-year-old Marty Eugene Hurley of Stopover was indicted in January on three counts of attempted murder, three counts of kidnapping and one count of first-degree arson.
Investigators say Hurley held two women and a man at gunpoint with an AR-15-style rifle in May, forced them into a mobile home and set it on fire while threatening to kill them if they tried to leave. The victims were able to escape but suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns. One woman was intubated due to severe smoke inhalation.
Hurley was released from jail in October after more than 60 days passed before indictment. A warrant was issued January 21, but he has not been arrested.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kentucky State Police Post 9 in Pikeville at 606-433-7711.
