A day after the body of Skip Brinkley was found and Deputy Adam Klutz was memorialized in a moving funeral service, members of the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office started to get back to their daily operation as best they could.
For five days, members of the Sheriff's Office and countless agencies across western North Carolina as well as the State Bureau of Investigation and FBI conducted a massive search to find Brinkley, the 32-year-old military veteran suspected of fatally wounding Klutz Sept. 19 when the deputy responded to a 911 hangup call at 3940 Fox Winkler Road in Oak Hill.
That shooting set off a massive search for Brinkley that ended Wednesday when a member of a Hickory S.W.A.T. unit found his body in an upright position near a tree about a half mile from his residence on the 30-plus-acre farm he had in Oak Hill. The body was located on a densely wooded area of the property looking toward Brinkley's residence at the same time Deputy Klutz' funeral was taking place at Mountain Grove Baptist Church.
Brinkley apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The SBI continues to investigate the case.

A department grieves

The search for a suspect in the shooting death of a Caldwell County Sheriff's deputy enters its fifth day, and there still has been no sign of him.
Law enforcement officials from Caldwell County and across western North Carolina have been trying to track down 32-year-old Skip Brinkley, also known as Larry Wayne Brucke Jr., since the Friday night slaying of Deputy Adam Klutz at 3940 Fox Winkler Road in the Oak Hill community.
Brinkley is alleged to have killed Klutz with a gunshot to an unprotected part of his body and shot Lt. Chris Martin three times. Martin was hit in the chest, but his bulletproof vest saved his life.
Teams of investigators went into the Oak Hill and Dudley Shoals communities and surrounding areas Monday and again Tuesday distributing wanted posters and seeking any information about Brinkley, a former law enforcement officer, who served in Iraq from 2004-06 and has U.S. Army Ranger training.

Support from other agencies proves pivotal
There have been quite a few sightings of Lenoir Police Department patrol cars out in the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office jurisdiction the last five days and a number of law enforcement faces not so familiar to the county. That's because a host of agencies from county, state and federal levels have pitched in to aid the Sheriff's Office in its massive search for Skip Brinkley, the man suspected of shooting and killing Deputy Adam Klutz and shooting Lt. Chris Martin three times Sept. 19.
