Trooper Richards Trammond Murdered in Michigan

In Monroe Michigan on a foggy January night an off duty state trooper Richards P Trammond was found murdered and his body bound to a mailbox five hours after he was abducted. A nationwide hunter hunt led to fugitive Alcide Benoit alias Jon La Rue with officers from Indiana Ohio and Michigan involved in the search. The suspect overpowered the trooper and fled in a patrol car before being cornered later by roadblocks. Local deputies chased the suspect and a gunfight ensued ending with Benoit and John Smith captured while the trooper lay dead. Benoit had a prior parole from the Michigan reformatory at Tennis and was described as a six foot man.
