Trenton, KY – Police have identified a 9-year-old girl who was found dead in Todd County a few hours after she was reported missing. Kentucky State Police spokesman Stu Recke says the child was Amy R. Dye, who died of blunt force trauma. Recke says the investigation is continuing. Todd County investigators found Dye's body before dawn Saturday along a road between Trenton and Guthrie. Police say she had been reported missing late Friday. The sheriff's department took a man and woman in separate patrol cars from the investigation scene to Trenton City Hall for questioning. Recke says he doesn't know if they were family members or suspects.
