Virginia Beach Stabbing/Abduction Suspect Apprehended
At approximately 8:48 PM on August 14, 2024, the Virginia Beach Emergency Communications and Citizen Services (ECCS) received a call reporting a stabbing in the 900 block of Jay Are Court. Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) officers responded to the scene, where they discovered two female victims—one adult and one juvenile—both suffering from multiple stab wounds.
The victims were transported to local hospitals for treatment and are currently listed in stable condition. The preliminary investigation indicates this incident is domestic-related. Dana Plummer, (M/36) of Virginia Beach, is believed to have stabbed both victims before fleeing the scene with his children: two male juveniles ages 7 and 5, and one female 1 year of age.
VBPD detectives secured warrants for Plummer, charging him with two counts of Aggravated Malicious Wounding, three counts of Parental Abduction, four counts of Contributing to Delinquency of a Minor, and Domestic Assault. At the request of VBPD, an Amber Alert was issued by the Virginia State Police (VSP) to aid in the search for the missing children.
At 8:46 a.m. on August 15, 2024, it has been reported to VBPD that a citizen recognized the vehicle from the Amber Alert and notified local law enforcement. It is reported that VSP attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle which was traveling northbound on I-95 in Fairfax County. The vehicle refused to stop for VSP and fled north on I-495 into Maryland, where the driver lost control and crashed. Plummer was apprehended at the scene. The three juveniles were located, with the one-year-old being transported to a hospital for treatment, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
“Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones who are grieving this morning,” said Police Chief Paul Neudigate. “This is an unimaginable tragedy, and on behalf of the VBPD, I extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by this loss.”
This case remains under investigation. If you have information about this case, please contact the VBPD Detective Bureau at 757-385-4101 or anonymously through Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP/P3tips.com.
