The Traffic Stop That Turned Deadly // Deputy Joshua Moyers

When Deputy Joshua Moyers set out on patrol on September 23, 2021, he had no idea it would be his last time. That night, a routine traffic stop turned volatile fast. Inside the vehicle were two occupants high on meth, and the driver had an active warrant. What happened next sparked a five-day manhunt that gripped the community and ended in an unexpected place: the bathroom of a local baseball park. The suspect, Patrick McDowell, was a Marine veteran with a troubled history, and the evidence revealed he was determined not to go back to jail. Dig in with Margot as she walks you through the stop that turned deadly, the intense search that followed, and the death-penalty outcome that remains tied up in the appellate courts today. ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?
