I don’t know you but I’ve heard the stories. I wish God had let you stay because your family needs you and your county needs you. Those awful people who did this may think they will see the light of day sometime (and they may but they better not come back to Pawnee County), but God will always get the last word when you have done wrong.

I just saw this show on the ID channel. Just heartbreaking. Many thoughts and prayers for this family. My dad was sheriff in a small town. I remember how my family always worried about these things. Much thanks to Sheriff Dwight's service.

I just watched Murder Comes to Town and learned of your murder. I’m sorry you were taken from your beautiful family and many good friends!
I pray your children and wife have found peace and have been able to move on from your terrible murder knowing how very blessed they were to have experienced life with a person as special as you seem to have been. I have read many many reflections about you and I Know you were an amazing person, father and sheriff.
I can only wish I will be lucky and blessed enough to meet someone as special as you Atleast once in my life.
Thank you for your service and Rest In Peace in the arms of the Lord always

I just watched a documentary about this man's death. It will always be a mystery to me why people feel the need to kill. But it is especially a mystery when people to choose to kill those meant to protect us. God bless you Sheriff Woodrell and your family. And may you all be reunited in heaven one day. Until then rest in peace.

Just a little memory I have of Dwight. I was hanging clothes on the clothesline in my back yard. I saw Dwight milling around the neighbor's yard, who was having a garage sale. I asked him if he was doing crowd control for the garage sale. He said,"No. I'm seeing if there's any good stuff."
Such a great guy.

It seems like not long ago when you taught Calvin and Mikeal how to catch Crawdads at the pond. The younger boys weren't allowed near the water. As they watched, they knew their turn would come when they were older. I remember how excited Mikeal was. He couldn't wait to catch Crawdads again. Mikeal was in disbelief that you asked him if he ATE Crawdads.
When I see cars flying down the road that separates our houses, I know you would jump in your car and go after them if you were still here. The difference now, Jessica's barbies wouldn't fly off the car as you sped from the driveway. I remember the first time Randy found Barbies in the road and the end of your driveway. Then, the time Brandi went for a walk and watched some guys in a pickup load up your dog and drive off. I laugh everytime I think of it as you come out of house still buttoning your shirt and fastening your belt. You asked permission to borrow our daughter to help find your dog. A week or two later the dog showed up out by Balmer Hill. I know it wasn't funny.... But I'm sorry, I still laugh.
You know, I've thought I've seen you recently outside a few times lately. When I took a picture of the flag at half staff today the wind had settled. I wasn't sure I'd get a photo. Your family would say you had a hand in the breeze picking up at that moment to raise the flag proudly. I know I've been seeing you out around the yard again lately. I used to see you all the time. By the tractor or the old pickup in the pasture or by the old well house. Even by the barn where you worked on the fence 14 years ago.

Missing you I asked you after 9/11 what is going on in the world I still wonder after all these years and all the tears no one knows sacrifice an officer offers up or how high the price could be. Praying for our country tonight to know the true value of all who are willing to wear a badge and to respect them and their families! Love you always miss you forever!
