In the early morning of June 14, 1994, 25-year-old Greenville, Alabama police officer Gary Wayne Heath was shot and killed while intervening in a convenience store robbery. Heath had been with the Greenville Police Department for ten months. The robbery also claimed the life of 29-year-old store attendant Pamela Jean ’Pam’ Scruggs.

After the killings in Greenville the suspect took Officer Heath’s service weapon and continued a multi-state crime spree. The man later killed a Pearl River County deputy, Len J. Rowell, and Lieutenant Coy Smith of the Alabama Public Service Commission in Mississippi. The rampage ended when law enforcement surrounded the suspect and he died by suicide.

What details from that night or the suspect’s movements might still help piece together how the robberies unfolded and who else saw the suspect before he left Greenville?
