On the evening of May 22, 1979, in Goessel, Kansas, Reserve Deputy Sheriff John T. Morgan, 47, was killed after answering a domestic disturbance call. Morgan, who worked with the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, arrived at the scene with his son and, upon exiting his vehicle, was shot and killed by an assailant armed with a rifle.

The same attacker also killed his own ex-wife and wounded her boyfriend, turning a domestic dispute into a multiple-casualty incident. The suspect was taken into custody and later convicted for the murders of Deputy Morgan and the ex-wife.

What information do readers have about Morgan’s service in Marion County or the events that evening?
