Denney pleads not guilty to murder

David Denney appeared in Circuit Court Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to murder.

Denney, 44, has been charged with murder stemming from the Nov. 16, 2022 death of Darcey Nadine Albee, 38. Adair EMS was called to a residence at 1972 Little Cake Rd. around 7:42 p.m. after a caller said a woman fell down the stairs. The caller said she was not breathing and he was starting CPR.

Denney was indicted by an Adair County grand jury on Aug. 17 and arrested a short time later. In addition to the murder charge, he was charged with resisting arrest by Kentucky State Police.

He entered a plea before Circuit Judge Dan Kelly Tuesday with his attorney, Matthew Dehart, of Russell County, by his side.

He is scheduled for a pre-trial conference on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 9 am.
