Officer Casey Kohlmeier and K-9 Draco
End Of Watch 10/30/13
Officer Casey Kohlmeier and his K-9 partner Draco of Pontiac, IL police department were killed in car accident on I-55 2 days ago to a drunk driver on I-55 near Pontiac. I was completely shocked, the news about them when a member of a group had report about them on the page. I was shocked that they were from Pontiac and I felt too much close kit to Bloomington where I always have been to. Everyone include me were in shock. I cried nonstop. They are having the funeral tomorrow for Casey and Draco. I did lighted the candle for them. I need to find a blue lightbulb so I can have it light in my front porch. Their deaths had hit me harder. I know I don't know them very well but still they were SO young when they died.
It was not the first time it did hit me. 2 police officers in my town were killed in helcopter crash 7 years ago, they were on duty helping other town police department chasing a suspect who fled when it happened.
I always travel on I-55 going south from Chicago to Bloomington and I would be able to pass Pontiac every time I travel on I-55 when I was child living in Chicago. Also coming from Michigan on I-94 toward to Chicago and switch to I-55 when I was a teen and now. It was simple trip that way where I am coming from Michigan. I always wonder what Pontiac is like. I know that the town is small. I am just wondering what small town like Pontiac is like. Hopefully someday I can stop by to see the town and maybe stop by at Casey's grave and visit.
My sister had left for New York City for The ING New York City Marathon which is on Sunday. I wish my sister good luck on her first Marathon since Boston and from Superstorm Sandy.
