How they died

Suicide

Christopher S. Moallankamp reportedly shot himself following a three-county chase. Perry County deputies and Pinckneyville police responded to a report of a truck sitting at IL-154 and Perry Street. Officers found Moallankamp slumped inside a 2001 Ford pickup truck that was towing a ski-boat and trailer. Police awakened Moallankamp and asked for ID, but he fled. Near Herrin, stop sticks flattened the truck's front tires, but Moallankamp continued on Park Avenue for about two miles. Moallankamp allegedly tried to seize a Ford Ranger pickup from a motorist at gunpoint, then turned his gun on himself when his attempt failed. Moallankamp died at a hospital the next evening.
