The investigation remains ongoing as authorities pursue information and leads in the case.

A 19-year-old woman, Marly Kinney, was found dead in Grayson Lake in Carter County, Kentucky, about five days after she and friends went missing from a rented pontoon boat on June 24.

A man identified as Conley told Kentucky State Police he could not locate Kinney; authorities detected alcohol on him and a preliminary breath test showed a reading of 0.137.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Resources led an exhaustive search using boats, divers, sonar, helicopters, drones, UTVs/ATVs, and cadaver dogs.

Public tips are being sought to aid the investigation, with contact information provided for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement and the Kentucky State Police, as well as the Fish and Wildlife Information Center.

Authorities reiterate that the case is active and invite the public to come forward with any information.

The public is asked to contact KDFWR or KSP with information about the incident.

Kinney’s family expressed gratitude for community and law enforcement support and remain hopeful she will be found; no further details on her condition or location have been released.

Kinney’s family remains hopeful for a safe return and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to call 911.

Kinney’s family and community have paid tribute on social media, including messages from Boyd County High School, where she graduated in 2024.

Reports note that coverage from WKYT and People coincided with the arrest made on the same day Kinney disappeared, as troopers conducted interviews.

External outlets, including People magazine and WKYT, are cited regarding the arrest and ongoing investigation.
