Florida Deputy Kidnaps Ex in Front of Her Kids, Kills Her and Himself, Detectives Say: "Very Horrific"
Authorities say a 14-year veteran deputy kidnapped and killed his ex-girlfriend after a dispute over belongings, then died by suicide.
- On Monday, Pinellas County Sheriff deputy Troy Savetz kidnapped and fatally shot his ex-girlfriend in Hudson following a dispute over a television, according to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.
- When the woman attempted to call 911, Savetz took the phone from her hand, prompting her children to contact emergency services and identify him as a Pinellas County Sheriff Office deputy.
- Investigators launched a search involving aircraft, drones, and K-9 teams after Savetz fled in a rental vehicle, discovering both individuals dead inside the car at about 7 p.m. near Platinum Drive.
- Pinellas County Sheriff Robert Gualtieri stated that Savetz, a 14-year veteran, was no longer a law enforcement officer when he committed the crime; the children are now in custody of their biological father.
- Sheriff Nocco praised the children for following their mother's instructions during the confrontation, while officials confirmed the victim's name has not been released pending ongoing investigation.
