As opposed to NOT an official?
This maniac drove all the way across the country to abduct this girl that he had an online ‘relationship’ with under an assumed name, then murdered her mother and grandparents upon entering their home.
Glad the girl is unharmed and that there won’t be a trial. Very sad for the victims.
It is not clear that he was a peace officer, even Barney Fife. He may have done payroll or accounting for the Sheriff's office. Regardless, glad he'd dead, truly glad, and sorry and saddened for the victims, truly saddened.
