At Rest

Suicide
Police in Oak Grove, Kentucky say they tried to serve a warrant at De Frates' home only to find out he had already left the area. They tracked him to Meridian using his cell phone. De Frates was chased by law enforcement through Lauderdale County and into Newton County. Local investigators say De Frates shot himself while he was driving and his truck crashed on Interstate 20 near Chunky, Mississippi.
