Emerald "Emmy" Forgette, a beloved mother of three from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, disappeared on January 11, 2026, only to be found lifeless in Nortonville, Kentucky, on March 25, 2026. Her story is not just another statistic; it's a heartbreaking reality. Despite clear evidence suggesting otherwise, the Kentucky State Police have ruled out foul play, providing an autopsy in less than 24 hours.

Emmy's last moments tell a different story. She was seen barefoot, in harsh winter conditions, pleading with people not to leave her behind in a town where she did not belong. Her pleas for help went unheard, partly due to the stigma attached to her past struggles with addiction. Her situation was ignored because she was an addict fighting for recovery. But Emmy was more than her addiction; she was a loving mother trying to rebuild her life.

The inconsistency in the investigation raises significant concerns. Surveillance footage paints a different picture—one that hints at foul play and abandonment in crucial moments. How can a mother begging for help be so easily ignored? How can such a rapid conclusion be drawn from an investigation with so many loose ends? Emmy’s three children deserve the truth about their mother’s untimely death. Our demand is simple yet profound: let’s bring in outside agencies or experts to conduct a complete, transparent investigation to uncover the truth. This isn’t solely about Emmy; it's about every person who has been marginalized and overlooked because of their past. We owe it to them to do better!

This fund will go towards helping the family get justice for Emmy and help provide anything the children need.
