How they died
Suicide
A deputy tried to stop a other suspected in a reported gas drive off at Doud's Quickstop around 5 p.m. The driver, Michael Anthony Vandekamp, didn't stop and a high speed pursuit began, crossing into Jefferson County and back. Vandekamp crashed his other and fled on foot into a wooded area. Officers from multiple agencies established a perimeter and searched the area. According to police, the search was called off after dark and Vandekamp's other was impounded. At around 7:30 a.m. on October 28, Vandekamp's body was found nearby in a building at a vacant farm. Police said Vandekamp had hung himself.
