How they died
Suicide
Nicholas J. Ridgley reportedly killed himself after leading state troopers on a high-speed chase that started in Arnold. At around noon, a trooper had stopped Ridgley for driving a pickup truck with expired license plates near the intersection of Church Road and Highway 141. Ridgely fled when the officer ran a background check and found he had warrants. The chase ended on I-270 near Gravois Road (Route 30), where troopers said Ridgley shot himself.
