At Rest

Suicide
Whitley County Sheriff Lawrence Hodge sat at a kitchen table for three hours, drinking coffee and talking to a man who would later shoot and kill himself after a 12-hour standoff with police. Randy Collen kept a cocked and loaded pistol to either his ear or his mouth throughout the conversation.
This record exists so that Randy Collen, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
