At Rest

Suicide
Haverstraw police Officer Gerard Benderoth shot and killed himself outside a school as the FBI stopped him in his car. Benderoth was being investigated in connection with former Briarcliff Manor police Officer Nicholas Tartaglione. The latter was arrested in December in the murder of four Orange County men – Martin Santos-Luna, Miguel Sosa-Luna, Urbano Morales-Santiago, and Hector Gutierrez – who had all disappeared months before.
This record exists so that Gerard Benderoth, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
