This was my grandfather. My understanding is that they did catch him and he got life in prison without parole. If there's any more info, I would like to know as much as possible. He died before I was born.

I too am a retired law enforcement officer and an extended family relative. Walter died in the line of duty serving his community. God bless his family.

So sorry for your loss. I wish I could help you but I have no knowledge of the incident. I am a retired officer and I truly hope you may some day learn more about your grandfather.

My name is Jill Fletcher. Walter McEwen is my grandfather, but my brothers and I don't really know much about him. He was killed before we were born and my mother never really talked a lot about his death. If there is anyone who would be willing to share some details about his life and what he was like and anything else that you might be willing to share, we would be very appreciative.
