PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — A pretrial conference in the Amber Spradlin murder case that had been scheduled for Thursday has been postponed for two weeks.

Special Judge Eddy Coleman issued an order on Tuesday, resetting the hearing for Nov. 6. No reason was given for the delay.

Spradlin’s body was found June 18, 2023, at the Arkansas Creek home of Prestonsburg dentist Michael McKinney. McKinney’s son, M.K. McKinney, has been charged with her murder, while both McKinneys and family friend Josh Mullins are charged with multiple counts of evidence tampering for allegedly trying to cover up the crime.

The three men are currently scheduled to go on trial Dec. 1, but Commonwealth’s Attorney Brent Turner filed a motion seeking a continuance on Monday. Turner’s motion says at least 33 items of evidence will not have been analyzed before that date, and more time is needed to ensure all of the evidence can be presented to jurors.

No ruling has yet been made on whether or not to delay the trial.
