Alright, so I decided to dig into this whole Kenneth Smith, Pikeville, KY thing. It sounded kind of interesting, so I thought, why not?
First, I started looking for basic information about this guy, Kenneth. Turns out, he used to be married to a woman named Susan Smith. They met when she was just 15 and he was 22. That was in Pikeville, Kentucky.
Next, I found out that Susan later got involved with an FBI agent named Mark Putnam. He was stationed in Pikeville in 1986 or so. He was there to catch some bank robber. Anyway, Putnam and Susan started having an affair.
This is where it got crazy. I learned that on June 8th, 1989, Mark Putnam, the FBI agent, actually killed Susan Smith. She was pregnant at the time, can you believe it? It all happened in Pikeville, the same small town where she met Kenneth.
I kept researching, and I found out that Mark Putnam went to prison for the murder. And then I discovered that while he was in jail, his wife, Kathy, died from alcoholism-related organ failure. What a mess. He was released in 2000, moved to Georgia, got remarried, and became a personal trainer.
About Susan’s ex-husband, Kenneth, I couldn’t find much. I saw something about him having a court record and a public profile. It mentioned his address, phone number, and even reviews. Seems like he was in the $40-$49 range? Don’t really get that part.
My Thoughts
It’s a pretty wild story, right? Small town, FBI agent, murder, affairs. There is even a movie called “Above Suspicion” about it all. I might watch that later.
- Started by looking up Kenneth Smith’s basic info.
- Found out about his ex-wife, Susan Smith, and their early life in Pikeville.
- Discovered Susan’s affair with FBI agent Mark Putnam.
- Learned that Putnam murdered Susan in Pikeville.
- Researched Putnam’s imprisonment and his wife’s death.
- Looked up what happened to Kenneth Smith but found limited information.
That’s all for now. I think I scratched the surface of this whole thing.
