On June 17, 1967, Patrol Inspectors Theodore L. Newton, Jr. and George F. Azrak, conducting traffic checkpoint duties near Oak Grove, California, failed to report in at the end of their shift. An intense search for the inspectors was organized, and led to Inspectors Newton and Azrak being found dead two days later.
