Man indicted for murder in connection to Powell County overdose death
Kaylieb Thompson, the boyfriend of Reacheal Dawson, who also died from an apparent drug overdose in June, was at the arraignment.
Police say Epperson is connected to Dawson’s case as well. Epperson has not been charged for murder in Dawson’s case.
"68 days is the day it makes. 68 days since I've seen Ree. Since that night, and I play the day over and over again in my head,” said Thompson. "I do not understand why there wouldn't be a murder charge in Reacheal's case. I do not understand if there isn't."
