ABC News Series To Highlight Steve Nunn

  • ABC's Revenge for Real news series has scheduled a segment called "The Governor's Son" for 10:00 P.M. Wednesday which will highlight convicted murderer Steve Nunn, a former state lawmaker and son of the late Kentucky Governor Louie B. Nunn. Steve Nunn pleaded guilty last June to the 2009 murder of his former fiancĂ©e, Amanda Ross and is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Monday, the gun and bullets used in the fatal shooting of Ross were displayed publicly for the first time in response to a request by ABC under the Open Records Act. ABC journalist Chris Cuomo says Revenge for Real will tell the story of Nunn "crossing the line from someone who didn't meet expectations to someone who wound up being a killer." Tracey Damron, who was married to Nunn from 1996 to 2006, says she still loves Steve Nunn the man but doesn't know Steve Nunn the murderer. Damron describes most of her marriage to Nunn as "a fairy-tale experience." She says Nunn began to exhibit very odd behavior after they moved into the governor's Pin Oak Farm near Versailles. Damron is working with true-crime author Corey Mitchell of Texas on a book about Nunn. Damron is one of several people connected to the murder case who have talked with ABC for its Revenge for Real news series. Others who have spoken with ABC include Ross' mother, Diana Ross, and Fayette Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson.
