Former Porn Star Kelsey Michaels murder trial rescheduled for August

Two years ago former porn star Kelsey Michaels, was arrested, charged with murdering her roommate in November.

An order was filed on Tuesday, April 26th in the Pulaski Circuit Court Clerk’s Office rescheduling the trial for August 16th.

Her original trial date had been last October before all trials were put on hold due to the pandemic.

According to testimony from her November preliminary hearing, both Kelsey Michaels and her roommate LeeAnna Brumley had been staying with 55-year-old Gerald Avalon Hendricks of Shady Grove Road in Science Hill.

On May 22, there had reportedly been an issue with Brumley’s health.

Detective Lieutenant Bobby Jones of the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office testified Powell told authorities that rather than take Brumley to the hospital, Gerald Avalon Hendricks had a relative — Corky Lee Hendricks, 40, of Anderson Valley Lane — take her to a farm on Hendricks Road.

Gerald Avalon Hendricks followed in a separate vehicle with Kelsey Michaels.

Once the four met back up at the farm, according to testimony, Kelsey Michaels shot Brumley with a sawed-off shotgun reportedly on orders from Gerald Avalon Hendricks.

Authorities located burned bones believed to be Brumley’s at yet another family farm on Charter Oaks Road. Neither Hendricks man has been charged in connection to this case. However, both are currently in custody on unrelated charges.

Kelsey Michaels is scheduled to appear in Pulaski Circuit Court on August 6, 2021, for a pretrial conference.

In the meantime, she remains in custody at the Pulaski County, Kentucky Detention Center in lieu of a $200,000 cash/property bond.
