On the evening of January 19, 1990, Special Agent L. Douglas Abram, 47, was killed during a St. Louis County, Missouri, SWAT operation. Abram, an FBI agent with fourteen years of service and a background in the United States Air Force, was among the first officers to breach a residence in the 4400 block of Theiss Road while executing a search warrant tied to a bank robbery investigation. Agents were attempting to recover weapons and currency believed to be inside.

When the tactical team announced their presence and entered the home at about 7:00 p.m., the occupant, identified as James Price, opened fire. Abram was struck in the head during the initial exchange. Two other federal agents, Carl A. Schultz and Terrence M. McGinnis, were also shot but survived. Responding medics took Abram to St. Anthony’s Medical Center, where he died at about 9:00 p.m. Price was killed at the scene by return fire. The investigation concluded Price was responsible and the case was closed with no arrests or prosecutions.

Did anyone have contact with Agent Abram or the operation on January 19, 1990, who can share further details?
