How they died
Suicide
Joshua Diefenbach reportedly killed himself after deputies came to his house. The deputies arrived at around 1:30 p.m., after receiving a tip that several utility trailers similar to those stolen from Southeastern Illinois College were in the driveway and front yard of Diefenbach's house. Diefenbach consented to a search of the home and outbuildings. As the deputies interviewed other witnesses, Diefenbach went inside the house. Minutes later, a deputy reportedly entered the home and found Diefenbach dead in his bedroom from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The deputies said they didn't hear a gunshot. Diefenbach had worked for the SCSO as a dispatcher and jailer in 2008.
