58: MURDER: Deputy Jeff Mitchell

In the early hours of October 27, 2006, Deputy Jeff Mitchell, a 38-year-old beloved father and husband, was patrolling a remote area in Sacramento County when he noticed a suspicious white Chevy van. At 3:27 a.m., he reported pulling the van over, but minutes later, dispatch lost contact with him. When fellow deputies arrived at the scene, they found Jeff lying near his patrol car, shot with his own weapon after a violent struggle. The van was gone.

Twelve hours later, a white van was found submerged in a nearby river with two bodies inside. However, it was eventually determined that neither person was involved in Jeff’s murder, deepening the mystery. It’s been almost 18 years since Deputy Mitchell was killed in the line of duty, and investigators are still searching for the people responsible...

Deputy Jeff Mitchell was on patrol at around 3:27 a.m. on October 27, 2006, near Meiss and Dillard Roads in Sacramento County, California, when he pulled over a suspicious white Chevrolet van that was missing a license plate. At some point after that, Jeff was involved in a violent struggle with the suspect, during which he was shot with his own weapon. Approximately 12 hours later, the van was found submerged in 18 inches of water in the Consumnes River, with the bodies of two people inside.

Anyone with information is asked contact the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.
