Police charged 37 year old John William Pigg with murder. 38 year old Lloyd Steven Pigg and 31 year old Christina Collins are charged with complicity to murder. Police say it is unknown if the Pigg's are related. All three are at the Letcher County Jail. no bond has been set.

"I wondered why they were sitting here and they told me they were looking for Ralph," said Norma Caudill.

Police continue to investigate and are talking to anyone who might know something about Friday night.

"There was some policeman here last night and I went out there and asked that one guy if I could call him when Ralph come home," Caudill said.

Caudill says Marcum lived alone and she doesn't know why someone would hurt him.

"He was just a friendly person. That is all I knew about him," Caudill said.
