The search for Joseph Couch intensifies
SUMMARY: The manhunt for suspected Highway gunman Joseph Couch is entering its seventh day, prompting law enforcement to deepen their search in the Daniel Boone National Forest. State Police report that Exit 49 on I-75 has reopened, but they continue to patrol the area for new evidence. The search is complicated as Couch appears to be actively avoiding capture, making it challenging to locate someone who is hiding in such a vast area. Authorities have found no evidence suggesting he has left the region, and the reward for information leading to his arrest has increased to $35,000.
Law enforcement told FOX 56 that its search for Joseph Couch has expanded further into the Daniel Boone National Forest as the search enters day seven.

Kentucky manhunt: Personnel 'reallocated' outside forest as search for I-75 shooting suspect continu
SUMMARY: In Laurel County, a manhunt for suspect Joseph Couch continues 11 days after his alleged shooting spree on I-75. Governor Andy Beshear emphasized that the state will not succumb to fear, stating that the priority is community safety. Over 28,000 acres in the Daniel Boone National Forest have been searched, but with limited results, law enforcement is shifting strategies. They will redirect resources from the forest to local communities, increasing patrols to create a stronger public safety presence. Officials have pursued every tip but have yet to locate Couch, who is still at large.
As 10 days have passed since the shooting on I-75 in Laurel County, state and area leaders held a briefing Tuesday afternoon regarding the ongoing manhunt for the suspect.
