Murder in a coal camp - Finding Dan McCoy - Burnwell Kentucky
Was it a hunting accident or cold blooded murder? Dan McCoy's life ended in Premier West Virginia, at a well known rowdy and wild coal camp. What happened really?
A old resident is said to recall it was a hunting accident, but his death certificate clearly states Homicide. I cant find any articles about it either.

Both my living daughter's love cemeteries. Not quite as much as I do, but they'd go with me. My youngest will pick wildflowers and place them on Graves with lambs or Graves we know were children. ( I want to camp in our small family cemetery, but she wouldn't ) She like the mysteries of finding certain Graves and putting them on find a grave. My girls are 22 and 32.

You are the voice for the voiceless. Your job is very important to history and to those that have no means of getting there to see a grave of loved ones. You and Heather are very special God bless you

I just want to thank you for teaching me the history that surrounds me now . I love history and come from Boston Massachusetts and have grown up learning all the History and visiting all the historical places. From the Pilgrims , Indains to the witch trails . Am now much older and was in search of a safe environment in today's horrific world. I traveled when I was younger and went through Kentucky into West Virginia. At 23 year's old I was astounded by the beauty and the welcoming people who lived here. Ive always had a big spot in my heart for this God Given beautiful state . Am back and here to stay but in this process like to know the history of what this beautiful state has to learn about the people before me . Thank You for your Historical lessons and your wonderful stories. Leo & Heather your videos mean the world to me . Love a Nana from a different world who appreciates all of my surroundings. ❤❤❤
Appreciate your well put together videos. Thank you.

Good job! I remember when you went to the murdered man cemetery and practically 2 generations of one of my family lines were buried there. You also mentioned and showed a picture of my 3rd ggrandfather. Very interesting stuff.
Beautiful little cemetery, I remember it from one of your prior videos. Nice to see that the family takes pretty good care of it. Great walking tour, thank you very much Leo and Heather. Have a great weekend. 😊
Nice & peaceful video. Who & why would someone kill him? So sad. Love your channels!
Another nice video, I look forward to some more camping videos

I appreciate this as a historian and family record keeper. But, your comment about stepping on graves is important. My parents were from the Ozarks and we were told never to step on a grave it causes bad luck, you could fall through, and do not disrespect the dead. I am that way now and taught this to my children.
Leo and heather, you two are amazing.
Yes that would be a beautiful place to be.❤
Dan's dad only lived less than 5 years after Dan's murder. Broken hearted. Did Dan's widow suspect who killed her husband? After all he was in a 'hunting party'. The others had to know who murdered Dan.

Another nice video, ya'll. Interesting story, and I think you're correct. Many old murders were covered up by calling the hunting accidents, or just not enough investigation into suspicious situations. I want to take issue with Leo on one point, the grave is not your final spot. Your final soft will be Heaven or Hell. I will agree that this will be your final worldly resting spot. I've caught myself before, standing in a graveyard looking at stones, reading names and dates, and start wondering what it would be like to talk to these folks again for a bit. My grandmother always said there was more stories in a graveyard than you could read in a lifetime. I want to say thank you to ya'll, for all the research , both in the leg work side and the digging records side. I know both can be equally exhausting and frustrating. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels to these destinations. We all would hate for ya'll to become a part of history. 😊❤😊

R.I.P. to all. always sad about babies and small children but their resting in Jesus arms for sure.
I like button mushrooms and shantral but can't do morels and wouldn't eat the fungus you were showing us.
Leo, that’s plenty close to your last meal ( mushrooms). Dan McCoy was a handsome young man, seems unbelievable he was shot in the back of the head. The name Pett is nice for a gal.
