Officials had originally stated that just before 4-p.m., Saturday, officers were dispatched for an unknown problem near South 24th St. and Richard Downing Avenue. A male subject was reportedly hanging out of a vehicle window and the vehicle then left the roadway and traveled into a field. Upon arrival, officers determined the incident began at a local business where three people were in a disturbance. Two individuals left in a pickup truck and the third individual and suspect, 42-year old Eric Myers, jumped into the truck bed as they left the parking lot.

While the vehicle was traveling down the roadway, Myers was able to enter
the cab of the truck and assault the driver. The driver pulled over and Myers forced the female passenger, Kimberly Bovee, out of the vehicle and into a wooded area. Officers searched the area for several hours with the help of K-9 Olaf and OPD’s Able 1 helicopter but were unable to locate either party.
