Eight years later and the signs, now yellow and faded proclaiming Officer Jason Ellis "our hero" remain in several storefronts on Bardstown's main street. The sacrifice of the young officer, who was killed at the age of 33, it seems has never been forgotten. In the early morning hours of May 25, 2013, Ellis was ambushed when he stopped to pick up tree limbs in the roadway. He was shot and killed on exit 34 of the Bluegrass Parkway. Ellis was on his way home, after just completing his overnight shift with the Bardstown Police Department."There isn't a day that goes by that we don't remember, honor or talk about Jason," Bardstown's assistant chief, Kevin Thompson, said at a memorial service.The department where Ellis served as the K9 officer observed the somber anniversary Tuesday. Ellis' widow, Amy and the couple's two young sons, now both teenagers, were joined by first responders and friends for a wreath laying at Nelson County's Fallen Officer Memorial."When people show up to help us honor and remember him the way he should be honored and remembered it means the world to us," Amy Ellis told 비바카지노 Viva."I think it's just important to let Amy and the boys know we're still here. We'll be here every year," retired Bardstown police Chief Rick McCubbin, who was Ellis' chief, said.But the hope is next year will be different and bring the answers family and friends have spent 8 years waiting for."Hopefully one day someone will come forward with the information they have. That's our prayer," Ellis said.The FBI and Kentucky State Police are continuing to investigate Ellis' murder. Anyone with information is asked to call the KSP tip line at 800-222-5555.The FBI in Louisville tweeted that they are "committed to bringing those responsible to justice and providing closure to a community who so desperately deserves it."Those wanting to report tips to the FBI can do so by calling 502-263-6000 or emailing tips.fbi.gov.
