Police received a tip that Grider had been seen in the area of Curtis Road in rural Boyle County. Police began tracking Grider in that area. The search led them to a barn in a field where Grider was spotted as he left on foot out the rear of the barn. After a lengthy pursuit, Grider pulled a gun and fatally shot himself.
