Charges Dropped Against Man in Troy Murder Investigation, Woman Now Charged

Investigators with the Troy Police Department have uncovered new information in the murder of Gary Lee Pergler. Ashlee Beebe has now been charged with Murder in addition to Hindering Prosecution 1st degree for her role in the case.

Beebe remains incarcerated in the Pike County Jail, with bonds totaling $105,000. A bond of $100,000 has been set for
Murder (Class A felony) and $5,000 for Hindering Prosecution 1st degree
