A kidnapping suspect who was killed in a shootout with police Friday night in downtown Ogden had allegedly held a woman he had previously dated hostage for much of the day before abandoning her minutes before his fatal confrontation with police.
Ogden Police Chief Randy Watt said 37-year-old Richard Galvan was at the woman’s home in west Weber County when she woke up Friday morning. He allegedly kept her there throughout the day, shifting between homicidal and suicidal ideas, Watt said at a Saturday news conference, before forcing the woman to drive him around sometime late Friday afternoon.
