Trooper Charles Campbell was shot and killed after being abducted while making a traffic stop in Perry, Florida. After taking Trooper Campbell hostage the suspect used the patrol car siren to pull over a motorist and take his car. Trooper Campbell was found tied up and shot to death in Georgia along with the motorist. The suspect was later shot and killed by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent after he tried to gain control of another officer's weapon after being arrested.
It was later discovered that the suspect was a spree killer responsible for at least 18 murders, including Trooper Campbell, beginning July of that same year.
Trooper Campbell had served with the Florida Highway Patrol for 9 years.
