Son of Allen County Man Charged in Girl's Murder Now Under Arrest

Simpson County Jail

The son of an Allen County man charged with killing a young girl is now behind bars himself. 

Bradley Madden is the son of Timothy Madden who is charged with raping and killing seven-year-old Gabriella Doolin of Scottsville. 

Since his father’s arrest, Madden has allegedly sent the Scottsville Police Department several messages on Facebook.  Police accuse Madden of making obscene comments and threats toward officers, including the statement “I am coming for you.” 

The 20-year-old Madden is charged with terroristic threatening and intimidating a participant in the legal process. 

Bradley Madden is being held in the Simpson County jail. His father remains in the Barren County Detention Center under $1 million bond.
