HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A shocking turn of events unfolded Friday when a former Huntersville JetBlue pilot, charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, took his own life.
According to Massachusetts State Police, the deadly encounter with the Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section happened at the Wonderland MBTA Station.
The suspect, identified as Jeremy Gudorf, 33, was found parked in his vehicle. When troopers approached the wanted suspect, they said he pulled out a firearm and “abruptly shot himself.”
Gudorf was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Authorities are still awaiting official confirmation of Gudorf’s identity from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, but they believe the man involved is indeed the same Jeremy Gudorf who was arrested previously at Logan Airport in February.
Gudorf had been on the radar of law enforcement for a while. In October 2024, investigators with Huntersville Police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding images tied to the sexual exploitation of a minor.
The investigation led to a search warrant for Google, which eventually provided crucial information linking Gudorf to the crime.
Authorities believe that, at the time of the offenses, Gudorf was living in Huntersville. They said before he could be identified as a suspect, he moved to Ohio.
After an arrest warrant was issued for him in connection with charges of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested him in February.
Gudorf had an outstanding child sex charge when Friday’s confrontation occurred.
