Police say he killed his own step-mother and now his daughter tells WBKO he had 18 more in mind.

Daniel Kemp sat down with the woman who helped put an Edmonson County man accused of murder behind bars.

The daughter of 49-year-old Ricky Wells says her dad just wanted to kill, and says she's feared for her life and those of her kids for years.

Wells is accused of shooting and killing 69-year-old Lucille Wells inside her Brownsville home late Monday evening.

Now his daughter is speaking out with a message to Lucille's family and Edmonson County.

"I'm so, so sorry," said Tina Hubbard, the daughter of Ricky Wells. "And I know he's not going to apologize. I just want to apologize and tell them that I'm sorry."

Tina Hubbard is remembering her step-grandmother, "Lucy," and the crime she says her own father committed.

"I think he did what he did in absolute cold blooded murder," she said.

Police say Ricky Wells went into his step-mother's home and shot her in the head.

But "why" still remains unknown, even to his family.

"I really don't know the answer to that. I never think she did anything wrong to him. I don't think she ever did anything wrong to anybody," Hubbard said.

Hubbard says it was she, who helped police trace her father's location after the killing using her cell-phone--one of the last times she would speak with him.

"He just said that if she was dead, he wasn't sorry and that she deserved to die. And so, that's when I knew that he did it," she said.

Hubbard says her father's been a threat since his parole in 2006, when he was released from prison after serving 14 years for attempted murder in Bowling Green.

"He robbed a store and he cut the woman's throat," Hubbard said.

Ever since, she says the lives of her and her family haven't been easy but knows now her father, who she calls a killer, is off the streets.

"Words cannot explain what that man has put me, and my brother and my family through. I could never tell you how bad it feels to have your father to be that way."

Ricky Wells remains in the Warren County Jail without bond.

Visitation for Lucille Wells will be held after 1p.m. on Friday at the Crow Funeral Home in Glasgow.

The funeral will take place at 1p.m. on Saturday.
