An Update On The Timmy Sterner Case And A Family’s Fight For Answers

from The Murder Police Podcast · host The Murder Police Podcast

Send us Fan MailA father’s worst fear met a hard truth: remains found near a previously searched area were identified as Little Timmy Sterner. We invited Timmy’s dad, Tim, and stepmom, Ashley, to share what changed, what hasn’t, and how a family holds steady when communication from investigators goes quiet. The conversation moves from the moment the detective confirmed the ID to the agonizing weeks of no callbacks, and the practical fallout—memorial plans paused, questions multiplying, and a city’s attention drifting while a family can’t sleep. We unpack the scene details that matter for investigators: the proximity to a known house, the pet cemetery nearby, and the personal items still in his pockets, including a jail card and debit card. From there, we walk through the forensic realities of skeletal analysis—how labs assess bones for trauma, tool marks, and environmental effects to determine cause and manner of death. It’s slow work, but it’s essential, and it deserves clear, regular updates to the people who are living with the consequences. The heart of this episode is simple: respect the dead, and honor the living with information they can hold onto. Timmy and Ashley speak candidly about grief without closure, the need for accountability, and the question that haunts every parent: why. We also make a direct plea to the community. Someone knows what happened after Little Timmy walked out of custody and into that house. If you’ve heard anything, come forward—your voice may be the missing piece that moves this case toward arrest and conviction. After recording, we received one meaningful step forward: the Kentucky State Police released Timmy’s remains to the family so they can lay him to rest.
