I published this tweet at 8:06 AM this morning:
Police say that a violent juvenile suspect escaped from detention, Lexington @heraldleader reported it, including suspect's name, but refused to print his mugshot to help police recapture him, even though mugshot was released. @JSChisenhall https://t.co/th1k6mipN1 pic.twitter.com/RRKFOofZej

That was true then; I got the mugshot from another source. But now, the Lexington Herald-Leader has done the right thing:
Teen escapes Lexington juvenile jail. He faces charges in deaths of his mom, sister
By Jeremy Chisenhall and Rayleigh Deaton | July 19, 2021 | 7:01 AM | Updated: 3:45 PM EDT
Officers searched Monday for a teen accused of killing his mother and 12-year-old sister after he escaped the Fayette County Juvenile Detention Center, according to Kentucky State Police.
The escaped inmate was identified as Luke Craig, 16, according to state police. Craig was charged in September with murdering 33-year-old Tefani Noe and 12-year-old Brooke Goggin in Anderson County, Sgt. Bernis Napier told the Herald-Leader Monday. Noe was Craig’s mother and Brooke was his younger sister, according to family obituaries.
Craig is considered “dangerous and a threat to public safety,” state police said.
There’s more at the original.
When I found the article, earlier this morning, then dated at 7:01 AM, no mugshot was included, even though several other local news sites had it. Checking the Herald-Leader’s website at 3:48 PM, I saw that the mugshot had been added. The article was last updated around 3:45 PM, but I do not know if that was when the mugshot was added. But, better late than never; the newspaper has done the right thing.
One thought on “Well, what do you know? The Lexington Herald-Leader finally published a mugshot of a dangerous criminal on the loose”
