About David Durham

Born 1967. David Durham is an American.

David Anthony Durham (March 11, 1967 – disappeared January 23, 2011) is an American fugitive who disappeared under mysterious circumstances after allegedly shooting and critically injuring a police officer during a traffic stop in Lincoln City, Oregon. After allegedly shooting the officer, Durham's vehicle was rendered inoperable via a spike strip south in Waldport, where he fled on foot and is alleged to have begun shooting at two crab fishermen in Alsea Bay before disappearing. Durham's whereabouts remain unknown.

Disappearance At approximately 10:58 pm on January 23, 2011, Lincoln City police officer Steven Dodds pulled over a 1984 Dodge pickup truck owned by David Anthony Durham, of Sauvie Island, Portland, Oregon, During the interaction, Durham told Dodds that he was driving to a military base in California. At some point during the traffic stop, Durham is alleged to have shot Dodds multiple times in the chest, critically injuring him, and then fled in his vehicle, heading south on Highway 101. Initially, law enforcement theorized that Durham may have been hiding in an abandoned house in the woods or in one of the area's numerous vacant vacation homes. "He was definitely going through something. We just didn't know how serious it was." He also stated he believed Durham may have been hiding at a house in Manzanita owned by his employer.
