Webb

"As police chief of Lyons, Nebraska, 30 miles northwest of Omaha, Gregory Webb was a figure commanding substantial respect. A 36 year old bachelor, he apparently enjoyed no shortage of female companionship, and chief among his ladyfriends was Anna Marie Anton, a 34-year-old neighbor who lived in the same apartment house with Webb. By December 1986, however, their relationship had fallen on hard times, Anton was complaining about the attention Webb was paying to other young women in town.On December 15, the quarrel came to a head, and Anton was killed by two gunshots to the abdomen. Chief Webb had already fled town by the time her corpse was discovered, and investigation led to his indictment on first-degree murder charges. Catching up to the fugitive cop was another matter, however, for Webb had run all the way to Central America. In March 1987, he returned to the United States and settled in Volusia County, Florida, working construction under a variety of psuendonyms that included "Mark Engelkens, "Gregory James Webber, andBig Jim."Webb had nearly stopped looking over his shoulder by February 1993, when his case was profiled by Robert Stack on the NBC television program Unsolved Mysteries. A neighbor in Holly Hill, Florida, recognized his photo on the tube and called police, who waited for Webb on February 23, arresting him when he appeared to pick up a crew of Daytona Beach construction workers. Returned to Nebraska for the trial, Webb was held without bond...On March 3, 1994, Webb pled no contest to manslaughter in Anton's death' he also pled guilty to a charge of tampering with evidence, related to his attempted concealment of her body. Two months later, on May 5, Webb was sentenced to a maximum of 19 years in prison for his crimes." This is what Michael said.
