How they died
Suicide
Brian Goddard reportedly shot himself in a cornfield during a standoff. More than 30 law enforcement officers converged on the scene southwest of St. Joseph, after police believed Goddard had pretended to be someone else and called 911. Goddard reportedly displayed a 22-caliber rifle throughout the ensuing two hours of negotiations. At about 11 a.m., Goddard ran into the field and apparently killed himself. According to officials, a suicide note was found.
