A couple, who were married in Williamsburg last Wednesday, are now suspects in the shooting death of a Paducah man.
Angela Michelle Orenduff, 38, of Kevil and Dustin Mackie, 22, also of Kevil were arrested last Thursday in South Carolina after investigators traced the couple’s cell phone calls.
"Mr. Mackie had been speaking with his family," Paducah Detective Brandon Barnhill said to a local Paducah news station, WPSD.
Mackie has family in Williamsburg where detectives initially started their investigation.
Investigators say Orenduff and Mackie killed a man identified as Jon Crouch following an argument last week. The two pulled in behind Crouch near the intersection of Trimble and 27th streets in Paducah. Orenduff allegedly got out of her car and began an argument with Crouch. Crouch drove away, but police say the two suspects followed him and pulled up beside him. Mackie is then alleged to have fired the shot that killed Crouch.
Investigators believe the couple married so they wouldn’t have to testify against each other, but police say that won’t work because the crime happened before the marriage.
Mackie’s mother, Teresa Marie Mackie Rains was a witness on the marriage license issued last week at the Whitley County Clerk’s Office. The couple was apprehended around 7:00 p.m. the next day sitting in the same car police believe they were traveling in prior to the shooting. Also found in that car: a gun of the same caliber believed to be used in the crime.
Crouch was found in his car after it flipped over and crashed on Trimble Street in Paducah. Witnesses told police they heard gunshots just before the crash. Crouch was taken to Western Baptist Hospital, where doctors discovered a gunshot wound to his head. He died the next day.
Orenduff is charged with complicity to commit murder and Mackie is charged with murder. Orenduff and Mackie remained in custody in South Carolina Friday night. Police say they could be extradited back to Kentucky as early as next week.
