Ronald Exantus, convicted in Logan Tipton’s 2015 stabbing death, was released from prison in October 2025 despite opposition from the victim’s family.

The Tipton family of Versailles, Kentucky, says justice remains elusive after Ronald Exantus, convicted in the 2015 stabbing death of their 6-year-old son Logan, was released from prison in October 2025. Exantus, a former dialysis nurse from Indianapolis, was sentenced to 20 years after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for Logan’s murder but guilty but mentally ill for injuring the boy’s father and sisters. Though denied parole in 2021 and 2023, he was released on supervised release in 2025, with plans to serve six months of parole in Florida. The family, who had no prior connection to Exantus, expressed deep distress over the release, calling the trauma life-altering and the justice system’s outcome unjust. The case, described as a random, unprovoked attack, continues to draw public attention.
