Reserve Deputy George A. Pfeil, 57, was killed on December 29, 1977, in Lake Mary, Florida. A retired New York City police officer and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Pfeil was volunteering with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and was in uniform when he entered a pharmacy to fill a prescription and interrupted an armed robbery. The suspects opened fire, and Deputy Pfeil was shot and killed.

Investigators established three suspects in the robbery. One was arrested, tried, sentenced to death and ultimately executed in 2000. A second suspect was later murdered by the third suspect to prevent him from testifying. Pfeil left behind a wife and four children; his name appears on the Florida Sheriffs and National Law Enforcement Memorials.

Are there readers who remember Deputy Pfeil or who have information about the robbery and the three suspects?
