Cop Killer: FBI's Pursuit For America's Most Wanted Fugitive

On September 22, 1986, a routine home visit in Indianapolis spiraled into a deadly nightmare when Michael Wayne Jackson shot and killed his probation officer at point-blank range to avoid a mandatory drug test. Armed with a shotgun, Jackson fled the scene and launched into a brutal 13-hour crime spree that spanned Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

As he fled across state lines, Jackson left a trail of chaos, hijacking vehicles, taking hostages, and shooting innocent bystanders who crossed his path. Recognizing the extreme danger Jackson posed to the public, the FBI joined forces with local and state law enforcement, quickly elevating him to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
