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

In an order filed in the case on Wednesday, Special Judge Eddy Coleman rescheduled the hearing from Feb. 27 to March 13.

No reason was given for the delay.

Spradlin’s body was found in the Arkansas Creek home of Dr. Michael McKinney on June 18, 2023.
She had been stabbed at least 12 times in the neck and head.

McKinney’s son, M.K. McKinney, has been charged with her murder. Both McKinneys and family friend Josh Mullins are also charged with eight counts of evidence tampering for allegedly trying to cover up the crime.

All of the defendants have pleaded not guilty.
