PRESTONSBURG, Ky. — The next hearing in the Amber Spradlin murder case has been postponed.

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 case is currently set for trial May 11, and the defendants were supposed to appear in court Feb. 26 for a pretrial conference.

However, Special Judge Eddy Coleman signed an order on Wednesday postponing the next hearing until April 3.

No reason was given for the delay.
