Law enforcement authorities still are trying to piece together what happened just before a Franklin mans Chevrolet Blazer plunged into Barren River Lake. The Blazer, owned by Steve Hooks, 45, of Franklin, was found submerged in the lake Tuesday. Two bodies found inside were identified Thursday as that of Hooks and Lisa Diane Shelton, 34, also of Franklin, who had been missing since Sept. 11.The bodies were so badly decomposed that (at this point) we cant tell how long they had been in the water, Kentucky State Police Trooper Nick Stephens said. The only thing police are positive of now is the identity of the bodies. They arent talking about any clues that might lead them to some conclusions. Stephens said they should know more when a preliminary autopsy report is complete, possibly within a week. Barren County Coroner Mike Swift said the state is awaiting a toxicology report before making any preliminary determinations. Barren County Commonwealths Attorney Phil Patton said hes watching the case. If it is determined that a crime took place and there is someone to prosecute, he and Warren Commonwealths Attorney Steve Wilson will decide where prosecution should happen. But it is really too premature to speculate whether that will happen, Patton said. Shelton and Hooks last were seen in a Bowling Green restaurants parking lot. The two had been in Bowling Green separately earlier in the evening Hooks at an event at Greenwood High School, where he was assistant principal, and Shelton on an outing with friends. Greenwood High School students had been bracing themselves for the worst since hearing that Hooks vehicle was found. The impact of their emotions is not as significant now as it wouldve been if the bodies were discovered right after the disappearances, Warren County schools Superintendent Leonard McCoy said. Nevertheless, theres grief for the loss and compassion for the families. Greenwood has kept students informed of developments, he said. Today, Principal Peggy Cowles announced over the intercom that Hooks body had been positively identified. Staff members then decided to start a trust fund for one of Hooks sons, Carter Hooks, who frequently attended school functions with his father. Cowles, who announced the trust fund this morning, said the staff wanted to help students redirect their focus on helping Hooks family. McCoy said he wants to remember the contributions Hooks made to the school system. Simpson County school system also is coming to grips with the positive identifications. Hooks worked in that district for a year before coming to Greenwood three years ago. Shelton worked at Franklins alternate school, Learning Opportunity Center, and her husband, Greg, is a coach at the high school. After the vehicles discovery everybody had pretty well accepted the fact that it was going to be them, Simpson Assistant Superintendent Frank Schwab said. Weve been dealing with this for six weeks now. A lot of people were dreading this final announcement, but at least it can bring some closure. We are all saddened by the fact that they are gone. Its a terrible tragedy and our heart goes out to their families. Hooks funeral will be at 1 p.m. Monday at First Baptist Church in Bowling Green, but he was a member and formerly a youth minister and then music minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Franklin. Steve was here for a long time and was well loved. … Im just doing what I can to comfort the church and the Hooks family, said the Rev. Buddy Crabtree, pastor at Calvary Baptist Church. Lisa Sheltons funeral will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Crafton Funeral Home in Franklin.
