Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On this day, January 11, 2023, I reminded the officers of your name in roll call this morning.

The department has grown substantially since you served here, and there are no officers left who knew you personally- but you are not forgotten.

Dave was my dad’s deputy in Atlanta Indiana. (Robert Holloway Atlanta Indiana Town Marshal) I remember Dave from that time as he visited our house in Atlanta often with my dad. I remember how devastated my dad was when he got the news of Dave's death. My dad was a police officer in Carmel Indiana at the time. I have clippings from newspapers of Dave being shot and I am the one that added the picture of Dave in this memorial. I remember he had a son and daughter and from what I remember after Dave’s divorce the kids with their mother moved to South Carolina. I may be mistaken because I was very young at the time. I can say that Dave was a good man. I hope that his kids remember him as the kind man he was.

Rebecca,

This webpage contains details of the evidence against Fred C. Stuck for your father's murder. It is an appellate decision that upholds the conviction for second degree murder. It gives a pretty good summary of the physical and circumstantial evidence and actions of police that night which led to the arrest.

Hope this helps.

I understand that Mr. Stuck died in prison. Could anyone please tell me the date of his death?

Thank you for this Web site. It helps me to feel more connected with Dad.

The hog was later found butchering in the McClure (suspect's father-in-law)home. Your father had written down Stuck's license plate number on a notepad (common police practice when working alone). Thomas Simpson, the farmer, told investigators he drove by seeing the officer talking with a man in a red cap sitting in the patrol car. Your father was found by two high school students 10 minutes after he had notified dispatch of the stop. The suspect fired all six rounds from your father's service revolver. I have read several newspaper articles but was in high school in northern Indiana on that date. His father-in-law testified against Stuck. Oct. 8, 1969 Tipton Newspaper reports that Stucks' attorney was relieved from the legal responiblity and he stated Stuck received a fair trial and there was no reason for an appeal. Probably too late for scientific evidence at this time as evidence probably doesn't exist anymore. Nearly fifty years since his death.
Please contact me.

The newspaper said that the guy who was convicted of murdering my dad proclaimed his innocence in that killing. He was convicted the day after my birthday. Was he telling the truth? I hope someone thinks to use this technology to find out the truth about who killed my dad! The newspaper article also said that a red toboggan was left in the squad car. There must have been hair attached to that toboggan. Do they still have the evidence???

Your service and sacrifice has not been forgotten by your brothers and sisters at Westfield PD.

I was moved to leave this reflection after recently and randomly being contacted by a family member of your killer. It struck me that even though the family was 1000's of miles away and decades later... were also still effected by the tragic events that took place that fateful day. She expressed the grief, remorse, and sorrow for the events that her family still feels. This event will forever effect three families, Dep. Brown's family, the WPD family, and the family of your killer. Such a shame...
