A Texas police officer who vanished from his home last week was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said.
Baytown police officer John Stewart Beasley, 46, was found dead Tuesday in a field three miles from his Cove residence, Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said.
Beasley, a 23-year veteran of the police force, was reported missing Thursday and last seen walking away from his home. It’s believed Beasley died the same day he was reported missing.
“As far as his mental state, everybody has their ups and downs and who knows whether there may be some depression? But actually we feel like he has a lot of good things going on in his life,” Hawthorne said.
The husband and father was in the middle of building a new house, according to KHOU-TV.
Several law enforcement agencies assisted Baytown police, including K-9 teams from League City and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, according to FOX26 Houston.
Its a good start… One of the few who had a conscience about the evil and chaos he directed at others thru the commission of his
po-lice gangster job. I hope more of them get a
Conscience. It will mean less rope nooses we will need to make.
Could it be some dirt was about to come out on this guy so he just decided to end it all to spare his wife and children? Who knows, we’ll probably never hear the back story.
Maybe he was depressed from being a fat, donut eating slob thug agent. Let’s hope so.
I hope many more follow in his footsteps!

Officials said?
Not that I’m complaining, mind you (OUTSTANDING THAT THE POS IS DEAD!), but I wouldn’t be so quick to believe it was self-inflicted.
Pigs make lots of enemies over the years… including within their own departments.
#1, your scenario definitely crossed my mind.
