I met Cory through the Monroe County Sheriff's Reserve. .I issued his probationary uniforms to him for the unit and it seemed like the same week he returned them and said he had been accepted to I.S.P. and was going to the academy ,I shook his hand and congratulated him.He was a fine person, every time I see a Troopers car memories are brought back..RIP Trooper Elson you'll not be forgotten

It's been too long since i have last talked to you. A lot has changed since you left us. But becuase of you, your fellow officers are safer. We talk about what happened to you and how we should never let down our guard. Please keep watching over us. Tell my mom, I miss her.

My dad was a senior trooper when this happened. It was Easter Sunday, we were on spring break in Texas. Mom called the post to let them know dad had a minor heart attack that morning, and then was informed by one of the corporals that Cory was killed earlier and another trooper's dad had passed as a result of a severe anxiety attack due to the incident. It still makes me cry when I think of it. God bless you Cory.

Cory,

I have thought of you and the other Brothers and Sisters often. You were great to know your short time at D22. You were fun to train. I no longer live in Indiana and but still think of your sense of humor. I'm sorry,
Your Brother in Christ

I did not know Cory, but when he was killed I lived in Berne, Indiana, just down the road from Decatur.
This tragedy has never left me, and I want the family to know that we still reflect upon that day and lift you in prayer... now and always. RIP Trooper Elson.

I remember getting the call from our Honor Guard Sergeant asking me if I wanted to go to Indiana to represent our Department at your memorial service Being a Hoosier I was honored. I remember having a feeling of loss the entire trip and your memorial service was deeply moving and emotional for me. Thank you for your service and to your family God Bless. You are not forgotten.

It was 10 years ago that Cory was killed. Cory was an Indiana State Police Officer when he was killed and is proudly remembered for this. For many, that is how Cory is remembered. For others, Cory is remembered for much more than that. Cory was a husband, a son, a brother and a friend. I proudly consider Cory a good friend and will always remember him. During his 26 years he did many things that will be remembered. I hope that everybody who knew Cory can help keep the memories of his life alive by sharing with others.

For many, Cory’s funeral will always be remembered. Many things about the funeral stand out in my mind but I will just share one. While at the church somebody asked me who the dark haired girl with the family was. My distracted reply was, ‘that is sister’. I got a look and then realized what I said. I then explained that she was Cory’s sister Lori.

I will always have fond memories of Cory from growing up in the neighborhood, boating, skiing and mountain biking. I have two pictures of Cory that were given to me by his parents after his death. One is of Cory standing and smiling and the other is a picture of him in his State Police Uniform. These pictures hang in the basement over the bar and are a reminder that my friend is gone but not forgotten.
