Add to My HeroesCarl T. Wilder
Trooper Carl Wilder was shot and killed during a traffic stop on Tuxedo-Greenwood Lake Highway in the Village of Tuxedo.
The necktie he was clutching in his hand when he was found, apparently torn from the neck of his assailant, provided no clue to the murderer. It was theorized that Trooper Wilder might have been killed by bootleggers operating in the area. Trooper Wilder was unable to reply to inquiries regarding his assailant before he died.
No suspects were ever identified.
Trooper Wilder had served with the New York State Police for three years. He was survived by his wife.
