Utah sheriff’s deputy stalked and killed by her father, prosecutors say
In a tragic and shocking turn of events, a Utah sheriff’s deputy was allegedly stalked and killed by her own father. The incident has left the community reeling and authorities scrambling to make sense of the senseless act.
According to prosecutors, the deputy, identified as Makayla Bollinger, had been stalked by her father, James Kammeyer, for several months leading up to her death. Kammeyer allegedly had a history of domestic violence and had been ordered to stay away from his daughter by a protective order.
Despite this, Kammeyer reportedly continued to harass and stalk Bollinger, even going so far as to follow her to work and text her threatening messages. On the day of her death, Bollinger was found shot multiple times in her car outside her home in Midvale, Utah.
Investigators believe that Kammeyer was the one responsible for Bollinger’s murder, citing evidence such as his proximity to the crime scene and his history of violence towards his daughter. Kammeyer was arrested and charged with aggravated murder, stalking, and violation of a protective order.
The tragic case has shed light on the dangers of domestic violence and the devastating impact it can have on families. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of taking threats of violence seriously and seeking help when needed.
Bollinger’s colleagues and friends have described her as a dedicated and passionate deputy who was loved by all who knew her. Her untimely death has left a void in the community and serves as a somber reminder of the dangers that law enforcement officers face every day.
As the case against Kammeyer moves forward, the community is left to mourn the loss of a beloved deputy and grapple with the senseless violence that took her life. It is a stark reminder of the need for continued vigilance in the fight against domestic violence and the importance of supporting those who are in need.
