California Man Charged with Murder is Lodged in Adair County Jail

 

The suspected killer of a California Highway Patrol captain's husband has been released from the Sacramento County Jail and extradited back to Burkesville, KY where the killing happened; He was lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail.  
 
60-year-old Thomas Francis O'Donnell of Napa, California is accused of shooting Michael Harding, who was found dead in a home in Burkesville, KY on September 26, 2022. He was arrested at the Sacramento International Airport on December 8th, and a grand jury was convened in Cumberland County to formally charge him with Michael Harding's death the following week. O'Donnell was extradited on Dec. 22, 2022 back to Kentucky where he was lodged in the Adair County Regional Jail on a $1 million bond. He’s scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 26, 2023 in Cumberland County, KY.
 
Meanwhile, an investigation is also underway into the death of Michael Harding's ex-wife, California Highway Patrol captain Julie Harding, who was found dead at the end of the driveway to her Tennessee home on Dec. 10, 2022 just two days after O'Donnell’s arrest.
 
Police have not confirmed any information about Julie's potential involvement in her estranged husband’s death, but reportedly the belief is that Julie Harding had Michael Harding killed and that Julie Harding committed suicide.
 
Julie Harding's cause of death has not been released yet, but authorities said they did not believe foul play was involved.
 
Julie Harding was on leave from her California Highway Patrol job and was also arrested on Dec. 8, 2022. She was accused of stalking and burglarizing the home of a woman who was dating Michael Harding.
 
 
BURKESVILLE, KY (Dec. 14, 2022) - On September 26, 2022 at approximately 1:03pmCT, Kentucky State Police (KSP), Post 15, received a call from Cumberland County 911. They requested investigative assistance regarding finding a deceased male inside a residence on Glasgow Road in Burkesville, KY.
 
KSP Troopers and Detectives responded to the scene and learned 53-year-old Michael Harding of Celina, Tennessee had suffered fatal injuries from apparent gunshot wounds. 
 
The ensuing investigation led KSP to partner with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other local and state law enforcement agencies in Kentucky, Tennessee, and California as the planning and execution of the crime included multiple local and state jurisdictions.
 
Information obtained through this collective effort led to the arrest of 60-year-old Thomas O'Donnell of Napa, California. On Thursday, December 8, 2022 KSP, the FBI, and local authorities arrested O'Donnell at the Sacramento International airport, in Sacramento, California charging him with the murder of Michael Harding. O'Donnell is lodged in the Sacramento County main jail where he is awaiting extradition back to Kentucky. 
 
KSP Detective BJ Burton, assisted by Detective Mike Dubree and Special Agent's with the FBI Louisville/Bowling Green Resident Agency, are continuing the murder investigation.
