Gary Duane Bradley, 44, of Williamstown, West Virginia, was shot dead on April 5, 1992, while fishing at the Ohio Power Recreational Area in Noble County, Ohio. An avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting, Bradley was struck twice in the back during what investigators later linked to a series of similar attacks on people engaged in outdoor activities.

Investigators connected Bradley’s killing to four other ambushes between 1989 and 1992. The suspect, Thomas Lee Dillon, had passed Bradley and waved at him as he drove by before returning and shooting him. A multi-county task force and the FBI later linked the cases; an arrest was made the day after Thanksgiving in 1992 and the suspect took a plea bargain to avoid the death penalty.
