Stephen R. Anderson, 60, a veteran Salt Lake City correctional officer with 22 years’ service, was killed on June 25, 2007 while escorting inmate Curtis Allgier to a medical appointment at the University of Utah Medical Center. According to accounts, inside an examination room while preparing for an MRI, Allgier overpowered Anderson and took his firearm, then fatally shot the officer.

Allgier fled the medical facility, carjacked a vehicle and led police on a high-speed chase that ended when the stolen car crashed into a fast-food restaurant. Inside the restaurant he reportedly brandished the weapon and attempted to take hostages before a customer disarmed and restrained him until officers arrived and took him into custody.

Allgier pleaded guilty to Anderson’s murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Did anyone who worked at the medical center or in corrections at the time have direct knowledge of the escort procedures used that day?
