Tina Adkins: Adkins charged with murdering Gregory Allen Shepherd
By Clarencia Cynrae on November 23rd, 2008Tina Adkins, the mother of a teen in Michigan who poisoned her grandmother with morphine, was herself charged with killing a man from Kentucky. During this week, Tina Adkins, 33,was charged with murdering Gregory Allen Shepherd, 38. Tina Adkins showed police the location of Shepherd’s body in eastern Kentucky. Police are investigating possible motives for the murder as Shepherd was allegedly, Tina Adkins’ boyfriend.
Tina Adkins is the mother of Kristina Adkins, 16, who pleaded guilty to giving her grandmother, Virginia Bentley, morphine in 2006. Kristina Adkins was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Adkins may win a chance at parole later on. Virginia Bentley was not the mother of Tina Adkins and the defense lawyer said Bentley mistreated Kristina Adkins.

Tina was always a very evil person,She abandoned both her daughters at a very small age and never looked back,She was into drugs really bad and I feel thats what caused Greg’s death.My mother died at the young age of 46 and I will always believe Tina pushed her into the path of the car that took Mothers life that night,I will never foget that as long as I live,When her trial begins,I will be there through it all,Not for Tina but to support Greg’s family any way I possibly can,Justice will be served cause no judge will allow such a crime go unpunished ! Now Kenisha will spend her Thanksgiving and Christmas without her Father,Just as Amber & Kristina spent ever year without their Mother and Father !! Tina never once tried to contact the girls as they was growing up nor did she ever care how they was or what they was doing,She lost a little girl (Courtney) a few years ago to death. It’s like she has no concience,I can sum her up in one word.EVIL !! May GOD bless Greg’s family and comfort them all in their time of need,I knew in my heart the day he was announced missing that Tina has a major role in it,This is my opinion of the whole matter and justice will preveil !!,

First off let me say Tinas Mother is Shelia Tucker,My mother took Tina in as a very small baby,3 months old and Johnny was drove to drink in order to have to put up with Shelia,To this day we still have no clue as to Tinas real father,Tina was evil and we know she pushed our Mother in front of the car that killed her but GOD will take care of that,Second off,yeah Gary did steal and will pay for his crime,I am not upholding a wrong,I never had any child or grandchild lost in a social service dept.You need to get your facts straight if your gonna post them,I have been happily married for 20 years now!!And you do not know the facts about Tina leaving her children,I do cause she came 2 doors down from us and when their dad called and ask for Tina and she got on my phone and Told him she was not coming back and to do whatever with the kids,If you know so much then why not tell it like it is and was,Tina is getting exactly what she deserves and it’s only just begun,No judge would allow her to go without severe punishment for her actions,And my daughter is not court ordered to do anything,I can safely say my kids are drug free,,Can YOU !!!!I am not hiding from the truth and post my name,You must know a different Tina that everyone around Pikeville does or floyd co,for that matter,I know this is one of her so called sisters that we all had nothing to do with but hey thats life and I will never stoop to your level,,I really pity any kids you may have and surely no man would tolerate such ignorance,,So,If you think you know my life well think again,,Yes we are pure West and mighty proud to have been blessed with that name,To bad Tina wasn’t or she would have gotten some decent genes and not passed it down to her kids!!!and no my mother didn’t raise tina,,She never got the chance,,So blame that on her real Mother,and I have never drank or done drugs in this life,Can YOU say the same and be honest about it,lol,,I think not, You have made my night by reading just how stupid some people really are ..BTW,Ya need another name to go under,cause truth sure doesn’t fit it…Now you have a great night,,ya hear…

First off , Edith Scott, let me commend you on being a REAL lady. If you have something to say , you say it. You don’t hide your identity. Edith is a wonderful lady that would do anything in her power to help her family. She has been a wonderful mother and grandmother. ALL children NEEDS a mother’s love like the love this mother has gave her children. And who do you think SHE got this talent from ??? HER MOTHER !!!
And as far as her brother, Johnny, he was a very loving, kind and fun loving person. I wish you were as good as him,truth. But, alas. you could never fill his shoes, nor those of his mother. So sad that she lost her life( questions remain) at such an early age.She was a true angel that walked this Earth.
Truth, since we are talking “truth” why not tell the truth about you and your dirty laundry. You don’t have the guts to even leave your name. I have known this family for over 30 years. They are not as bad as you are portraying them to be. Any skeletons in your closet ???
I will make a deal with you, you tell your name and I will tell you mine. Then we will see the real “truth”

The first thing I have to say is the anyone stupid enough to uphold Tina needs to be in a nut house…I don’t think you are getting the point “Trueth”…What does it matter if some drinks,does drugs or whatever else you want to say thats not “MURDER”…I don’t think gettingdrunk is even close to killing someone..Where r your morals?This stupid b**** Tina West Adkins Shepherd or whatever else name she wants to go by is nothing but “EVIL”.she is the “DEVIL” walking here on earth.I saw her in court today as she stood under oath and said she didn’t kill Google and she is the same Heartless,Cocky,Selfless person she always has been….I hope her and her horrible friends have to set the rest of their lives in a cell and have to think every moment what they done to him…Some how some way I hope that it eats to them until they can’t stand it anymore and slowly lose their wonderful will to live……You need to rethink your feelings for this evil person….

I my self have seen tina in action and she is nothin but a crazy,ignorant,liar,and has been doing
wrong to everyone she has met, she has used everyone. She will get what she deserves. Greg’s family will see justice. I know she was the one who did this and it was her idea. The other two got pulled into it. Thats how she works !!!
And for her to be cocky she has no class at all! She of all people cant be cocky she dont know the meaning of it LOL. Theres only one work that comes to mind TRASH.

Looking for information on Gregory Alan Shepard.
I realize the spelling is a bit different. My Greg Shepard was born Sep. 13, 1970 to Bernadette C. Shepard and Kenneth E. Shepard. That would make him the same age as the deceased — a bit coincidental.
If the deceased is the man I have identified, please send me contact information for Greg’s parents (Kenneth and Bernadette). Thank you.
