292. Officer Down: The Execution of Sergeant Carl D. "Dewayne" Graham
It was a cold November evening on the 26th, 2004, in Van Buren, Missouri, when the events that would soon unravel in the small, unsuspecting town began to take shape. Two men, Lance Shockley and his sister-in-lawâs fiancĂ©, Jeffrey Bayless, embarked on an innocent enough drive in Bayless' truck. But as they made their way, something went wrong. Under Shockleyâs control, the vehicle careened off the road, plunging into a ditch. But it wasnât the crash that would raise the most questionsâit was what happened afterward that would haunt everyone involved. As the investigation unfolded under Highway Patrol Sergeant Carl DeWayne Graham, Jr., the small town would see another person lose their life.
