Double murder suspect appears in court

August 12, 2008|George Lewis

One of the suspects in the 2002 double murder of Ryan Shangraw and Bo Upton, hooded and protected by body armor, was transferred today from the Lincoln County Regional Jail to the Lincoln County Judicial Center, where he was scheduled to appear before a juvenile judge. Although he's an adult now, the suspect was 16 when the crimes occurred and is, at present, considered a juvenile under Kentucky law and protected by the juvenile justice code. Authorities haven't identified the suspect, and the hearing was closed to the public and the media. The Interior Journal reported last week that the suspect's name is Matthew Tolson. Arrested in Tennessee July 29, Tolson lived for a while in Richmond, Ky., and was acquainted with at least one of the other suspects, Jamarcos Campbell.
