Nathaniel Linkey

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Nathaniel Linkey was killed when he crashed his car while fleeing from police. Police chief Kevin Jenne said Linkey's ex-girlfriend reported that he'd gone to her house intoxicated, demanding to speak to her and their children. Jenne said he then found Linkey had an outstanding warrant in Bond County, but could not recall for what. Approximately 45 minutes later, Jenne said he saw a car at Lone Grove bridge with a driver fitting Linkey's description. A pursuit ensued until about 1:54 a.m., when Linkey's other left the roadway and rolled numerous times into a field.
