In this gripping first episode of a three-part chapter, Kentucky Case Files unpacks The Steve Nunn Case. In Part 1, The Governor’s Son, His Obsession and Her Fear, we meet Amanda Ross — a bright, beloved young woman gunned down outside her Lexington home in September 2009. Her killer? Steve Nunn, a former state legislator and the son of a powerful Kentucky governor.
Hosts Emily Steele and Marcus Roland trace Nunn’s fall from political royalty to convicted murderer, revealing a harrowing story of power, control and ignored warning signs. From a fast-moving relationship to escalating violence, the episode exposes the dangerous facade of a man who once helped pass a law meant to protect domestic abuse victims like Ross — the same law that would ultimately seal his fate.
Featuring expert analysis, firsthand accounts and archival media, this episode sets the stage for a haunting tale of love turned lethal and the system that couldn't stop it in time.
Trigger warning: This episode discusses domestic violence and intimate partner homicide. Listener discretion is advised.
