Thursday, August 25 1985, around 10:30pm KSP Trooper Phillip Yates spotted a 1979 GMC Jimmy barreling out of a corn field onto US 68 near Burgin, KY. The vehicle had been reported as stolen. A shoot out, high speed chase and a crash later, the suspect fled on foot.
The man in the stolen vehicle was responsible for so much more.
Special Outgoing song is by the Mighty Lonelys "Where an Old Ghost Remains"
