Washington D.C. — Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Frederick F. "Fred" Guthrie Jr.’s sacrifice was remembered during the National Law Enforcement Memorial Service this past week. His name was added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial, in Washington, D.C. Tpr. Guthrie and his Patrol K-9 Reed died apparently after being swept away by swift moving flood waters. They were assigned to Missouri River flood duty and were working in the area of Big Lake on Missouri Highway 118 at Missouri Highway 111 in Holt County, MO. On Tuesday August 2, 2011, K-9 Reed was located in swift moving flood water. On January 12, 2012, Tpr. Guthrie's body was located under four feet of sand and silt near the original search site. Tpr. Guthrie is the 30th member of the Patrol to make the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting the citizens of Missouri. Colonel Ron Replogle and a small contingent of troopers accompanied the Guthrie family to Washington, D.C., for the event, which took place during National Police Week. The officers also placed tribute cards at the National Law Enforcement Memorial near the names of the 30 troopers who’ve died in the line of duty since the department’s inception in 1931.
