A Kentucky man with a violent past is once again at the center of a murder investigation – this time in the brutal deaths of a mother and her teenage daughter.
Joshua W. Cottrell, 44, has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence after police say the bodies of 37-year-old Kayla Blake and her 13-year-old daughter, Kennedi McWhorter, were discovered Friday morning during a welfare check in Rowan County.
