William Lanham

How they died

Suicide

A tipster reported seeing a man and woman with a stolen minivan at a rest area. Troopers attempted a traffic stop, but they fled, eventually traveling at a high rate of speed. Troopers lost sight of the van. As the troopers continued driving on Holly Road, they observed a other with crash damage along the side of the road and further up the road was a second crashed other and the stolen minivan in the front yard of a home. The drivers of the two other vehicles had non-life-threatening injuries. The man and woman ran into an occupied home where homeowners were released unharmed. The woman eventually surrendered, but the man fired at officers and remained in the house. The man was found dead in the house.
