A Hardin County man has been charged with the death of his father, who has been missing since spring. 42-year-old Dustin Bolen was indicted on the charges of murder, tampering with evidence, and gross abuse of a corpse for the presumed death of his father, Michael Bolen. He was also indicted on weapons charges, trafficking fentanyl, theft from a person in a protected class, and possessing criminal tools.
The Hardin County Sheriff's Office released an update on the search for 66-year-old Mike Bolen. Bolen was reported missing on Easter and was last seen on Good Friday. Detectives searched Bolen's home on Saturday and collected items for forensic testing. They have done numerous interviews and searched various locations. Friends and family conducted their search in areas around Alger and McGuffey last weekend.
57-year old Dale Gear was indicted back in August of 2021 when new evidence was found surrounding the investigation into the disappearance of Kori Glosset. At a pre-trial Thursday, a criminal jury trial was set to begin on June 6th. Since a two-day search of Gear’s Middle Point property in October of 2016 more evidence was found that according to court documents “Glosset’s family identified as his clothing” led to the indictment.
