At Rest

Suicide
Deputy Steve Edwards responded to Voght's home in the Wakefield subdivision after his wife called 911. She wanted to leave the house with their two children, but says Voght got upset. After shooting at Edwards, Voght fled to Bartholomew County. There, one of Bartholomew County Sheriff Kenny Whipker's off-duty deputies crossed paths with Voght. The off-duty deputy gave chase. Indiana State Police also got involved. Voght drove into an unfamiliar neighborhood where deputies left him with nowhere to run, and he shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that David A. Voght, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
