Mike 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.360 finds a new name in Dorry's iPad, another woman in 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.360 Texas Derek's been communicating with. He comes up with a plan. 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.759 It's a Tuesday morning. A woman named Tracy has just 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.880 started her work day. She's in the admissions office of 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.520 a busy rehab facility on the outskirts of Dallas Fort Worth. 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.360 Who do we have coming in? Who do we have discharging? 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.279 It's gearing up to be a busy day when her 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:43.000 phone starts to ring. No caller ID annoying. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.279 My first thought was spam. 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:51.680 Tracy picks up. A man introduces himself as Mike Elcare 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:53.080 Special Agent. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.280 I'm with the NCIS in you know, I need to 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:56.880 talk to you. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:02.480 And I'm just like okay, Special Agent Mike is trying 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:03.960 to reassure. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.880 It was just like, hey, you know, I need to 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.760 speak with you. You're not in trouble. I'm like, yeah, no, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:09.800 I haven't done anything. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.840 Tracy's not the kind of person who needs a lot 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:20.199 of reassurance. Her mind is already worrying. She's pretty sure 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.800 she knows exactly who this will be about. The guy 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.440 she's been dating for the last two months. 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.280 The closest thing I could come up with is okay, 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:34.080 ncis is military. He's supposedly military. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.840 A Navy pilot and college professor Richie Taylor. 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:40.720 God, did he kill somebody? 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:46.039 Special Agent Mike wants to meet in person asap, somewhere public, 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.400 anywhere of Tracy's choosing. 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.200 Okay, I'll meet you at Starbucks, because I'll see you 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:53.600 at ten. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:59.480 Thirty Later that morning, in a busy coffee shop in 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.880 downtown Fort Worth. Special Agent Mike is seated at a table. 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.200 Tracy walks in heels and a short skirt. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.240 It wasn't hard to recognize him. For one, he didn't 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:11.960 have any coffee. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.480 For another, classic establishment haircut, buzz cut. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.000 She sits down and I could tell that she is 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.120 not happy. She almost looks like she wants to kill somebody. 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:23.880 This is going to be interesting. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.880 He's got this portfolio and he opens it up, and 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.520 here's all these paperwork and stuff. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.000 I had some pictures of Derek in uniform. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.359 Courtesy of Dorry. She'd snapped to cheeky pick of him 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:39.200 sitting on her porch in his navy blues. Mike shows 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.560 the picture to Tracy. It's not yet clear to Mike 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.040 what Tracy knows about Derek Ordrett, Well, exactly she's so 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.320 angry about or whose side she might be on. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.200 He was saying, do you know this person? And I 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.520 go yeah, He goes, well, here's what his real name is, 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.520 Derek Aldred. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.480 And there's a warrant out for his arrest over credit 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.080 card fraud of a woman in the colony that's less 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.880 than an hour's drive from where Tracy and Mike are 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:12.919 meeting that morning. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.880 And I'm just like, this isn't real. I can't make 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:19.480 sense of it. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:21.440 And there's more. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.280 They said, to listen, we think he's been involved in 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.680 doing this type of activity across the country. Once he 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.480 realizes he's in trouble, he doesn't stick around, usually takes off. 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.960 It doesn't take long for that new info to sink in. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.400 Mike needn't have worried about winning Tracy over. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:41.440 It just enraged her. 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:49.760 You can't take advantage of people, you can't steal. I mean, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:51.480 who do you think you are? 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.520 I think personally she just wanted to wring his neck out. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.920 And then Mike comes to the real reason he's asked 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.320 to meet him in a coffee shop this morning. Mike 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.520 needs to arrest Derek Audred asap before he figures out 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:14.560 he's being investigated, and for that he needs Tracy's help. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.120 If Derek is in the dark about what Tracy knows, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.520 then maybe she can lure him into a trap. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.960 Let's get him off the street before he runs, and 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:26.960 then we can go from there. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:33.440 It would be the perfect plan except for one slight complication. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.480 I just dumped him this morning, only. 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.080 A couple of hours earlier. As she sewed him out 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.680 of the passenger side door of her car, Tracy made 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:48.960 it abundantly clear to Richie Taylor that she wanted absolutely 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.200 nothing more to do with him. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.240 I said, listen, I'm not telling you for real. I 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.920 just need you to help. Just bs him a little bit. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.839 And he's just like, Okay, can you get him back? 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.839 It's like, yeah, of course I can. It's easy. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.120 Derek is about to learn the hard way. 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.000 You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.359 I'm Anna Sinfield and from the teams at Novel and 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:47.280 iHeart podcasts. You're listening to the girlfriends Trust me, babe, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:06:01.039 episode five, don't mess with Texas you. Tracy is a 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.800 country girl through and through. She grew up in a 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.120 small town in Texas. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.920 The only thing going down there was a little country store, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.320 two gas pumps, the post office, and a little automotive garage. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:16.599 That was it. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.920 And what does a young girl do in the country 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.599 when there's not much going on. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.240 Find stuff to shoot out? You get your gun, you 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.080 get your dog, you get your horse, and you just ride. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.800 Sounds like me and Tracy had pretty similar childhoods. I 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640 certainly shot a few cans in my time, although I 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.800 had a mini motorbike, not a horse. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.760 I was a tomboy, obviously. 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.800 The joke here is that this is very much not obvious. 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:48.080 Unlike me, Tracy didn't stick with her boyish roots. She's 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.680 got a gorgeous blond blowout for one thing, But that 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.440 scoutfinch tomboy independence is very much still there. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.400 In a typical man's world. You have to be strong 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.040 because otherwise you're gonna get run over. It's called survival. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.040 Don't ever depend on anybody to do anything for you 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.120 depend on yourself. 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.800 That's the woman that Richie Taylor aka Derek had found 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.960 himself up against. But why are they already on such 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.160 bad terms before Tracy had even stormed into Starbucks to 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:27.040 learn the truth. Just a week earlier, Tracy and Richie 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.400 had been gearing up for a very special weekend. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.640 Were supposed to be gone to pass some Kingdom Lake 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:34.840 that weekend. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:40.560 Possum Kingdom Lake, Rugged Cliffs, Crystal clear waters of the 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.840 Brasis River, just a few hours drive out of town. 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.840 Tracy's even purchased a doggie life vest for her beloved Pooch, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:50.720 a rescue boxer. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.360 She was pretty lazy, so I couldn't guarantee how well 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.320 she would swim. Still have the dog floaty. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.160 But on the Wednesday before their special weekend, while Tracy's 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.360 at work, she gets a phone call from Richie. 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.400 He was at one of the hospitals in the emergency room. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.440 He goes, my chest is hurting really really bad. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.680 Tracy heads down to meet Richie at the hospital. 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.920 They want to do a heart caf the following morning. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.240 A heartcath is where they stick a tube up a 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.640 vein to evaluate your heart problems. With Richie now safely 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.520 in care, Tracy heads home for the evening. 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.760 I'm literally about to walk up the stairs in my 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.040 apartment and he's calling. They've cut my pain meds in half. 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.720 I'm in so much pain. I can't take it. Come 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.080 back and get me. And I'm like, I Am not 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.199 going to come back and get you. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.120 Tracy thinks he'll be fine in hospital for one night. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.600 She'll go in the morning. The sun hasn't even risen. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.880 The next day before Tracy's phone is ringing again. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.199 He calls me about four four thirty in the morning. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.480 Strike one. As far as I'm concerned. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.360 He goes, were you going to come up here? And 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:08.240 I said, well, of course. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.000 Thursday morning dawns a more reasonable hour this time, just 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.040 after six am. Tracy arrives at the hospital and Richie 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.400 is in preop for his procedure. She stays by his 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.120 side until he's taken into surgery. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.360 But he wasn't in there. Fifteen twenty minutes. Here comes 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.640 a surgeon and he's like, I didn't find anything. I 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.440 can't explain why he was having those kind of pains. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.199 I didn't see a previous stint. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.720 This strikes Tracy is odd. Richie had told her about 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.000 a previous stint from an old war injury. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.840 He said he was in Afghanistan. He'd gotten some shrapnel 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.600 in his body ended up having to have a stint 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.120 put in his heart, blah blah blah. 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.079 But the doctor seems to be saying he couldn't see it. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.520 So I'm just like, Okay, that's weird. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.880 But on Friday, Richie is discharged. They're supposed to be 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.559 leaving for their big weekend that day, but now Richie 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.720 needs rest from the procedure that you did not need. 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.120 When asked about all of this, Derek said, as far 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.840 as my cardiac history goes, it is extensive. I've had 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.560 multiple surgeries. He doesn't address the war injury half of 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:32.320 the allegation, though. Beyond this broad denial that aside. In 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:38.079 this particular moment, Tracy is unimpressed and skeptical, and more 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.000 concerned with when they'll be setting off for Possum Kingdom Lake. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.760 So we plan on that Saturday morning. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.760 Saturday morning arrives and Richie seems to be doing fine, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.680 but Tracy can't help but note that he doesn't seem 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.000 to have organized a car for their weekend away. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.640 Yet he goes, well, let's go get my carr out 0:10:58.640 --> 0:10:59.080 of the shop. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.520 Richie claimed to have totaled his car a few weeks earlier, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240 but it should be fixed by now, just a simple 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.800 matter of picking it up from the auto repair shop 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:10.400 in Dallas. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.720 So that's Saturday. We leave, go to Dallas. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.800 Richie has Tracy driving all over the place. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.440 I'm like, why are you having a try time knowing 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:23.480 where your car is? 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.440 He can't seem to direct them to the right shop 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:32.360 for ages, and then when he finally does closed, he 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.520 suggests they rent a car have it delivered, so I'll 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.000 be waiting for them at Tracy's when they get home. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.760 Richie gets it all sorted while Tracy drives all the 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.680 way back to hers. But by the time they arrive, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:47.560 where is it at? 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.240 No car. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.920 Richie makes a big fuss of yelling at a customer 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.240 service rep from the rental car company, but by nine 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.560 point thirty that night, they're no closer to setting off. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.440 So now I'm really mad. My tongue can be very sharp, 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.640 and I'm like, no, I'm going to try to be 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:06.640 a better person than that. 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:12.480 Gracefully and with great decorum, Tracy goes to bed. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.319 I left him in the living room. I'm thinking, I'm 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.280 a crappy person because you should be a little bit 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:19.920 more patient. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.440 But inside, if she's honest with herself, she's had enough. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.760 This isn't the first time this kind of thing has 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:34.760 happened with Richie. Here's another great series of unfortunate events. Conveniently, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.520 none of them Richie's fault. I don't want that kind 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.760 of hassle. The next day is Sunday, and Richie doesn't 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.960 appear to be making any moves in the direction of 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.959 Possum Kingdom Lake, or any moves at all. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.959 He's laying around all day long. All this time, I'm 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.360 getting more and more angry because my apartment was small. 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.560 You have been faded my space. I cannot stand needy, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.360 whiny men. It just it's repulsive. I don't want to 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.800 deal with it. I'm not gonna sit in the house 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.360 all day long. So it's like, Hey, do you want 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:20.800 to go to Fred's and grab a burger? We have lunch, 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.160 we have a couple of drinks, get ready to go 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.079 get the bill. Oh, he doesn't have his wallet? All right, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.719 strike too, so I pay for it. 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:36.439 Needless to say, the Possum Kingdom Lake weekend never happens. 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:41.160 By the time Tuesday morning rolls around, Tracy's expecting Richie 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.000 to go to work. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.559 Tuesday morning, I'm like, thank god, I get up. I'm 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.200 getting ready for work. It's about seven and he's just 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.880 laying there and I'm just like, got class today and 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.840 he's like, yeah, I don't have class till nine thirty. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.120 And I said, it's now seven thirty. You better get ready. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.199 I said, if you're going to be having to get 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.120 an uber, you better get on it. This whole time, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.520 he's texting on his phone and I'm like, what the hell. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.160 Ritchie looks up from his phone. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.600 He's like, I really need to go get a check up. 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.440 And I'm like why, and he goes, well, I didn't 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.679 want to say anything, but last night, while you were sleeping, 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.080 I had a coughing fit and I think I dislodged 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:21.600 my plug. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.160 Tracy doesn't know what this means. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.240 I said, just rub some dirt on it. She'll be 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.640 fine because I'm done. I mean, I'm so done at 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.480 this point. It's like all I need to do is 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:33.920 get him out of the house and I don't talk 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.440 to him again. Get him in the car, get him out. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.680 And so she breaks the news to Richie. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.480 Okay, I'll drop you back off at the hospital or 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.640 wherever you want to go, but I need my life back, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:50.520 I need my schedule back. That over you've got to go. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.400 A couple of hours after ditch Richie, Tracy finds herself 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:07.120 in a fort Worth Starbucks processing the most validating piece 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.560 of post breakup info a girl could ever dream of 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.240 Richie Taylor not just annoying, but an actual con man 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:21.760 named Derek Aldred. After the first wave of outrage subsides, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:29.080 the decision is obvious. Of course she'll help catch him. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.120 The thing is, Tracy couldn't have made it more clear 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.880 to the guy that she never wants to see him again. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.400 So I get on my phone and start texting right 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.200 there in the coffee shop. I'm so sorry about this morning. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:45.760 I was just hormonal. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.360 It won't be very long at all before her phone 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.000 pings back a new message. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.000 He's like, oh baby, it's okay. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:59.880 Works like a charm, and then, as though he's orchestrating 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.880 his own downfall, Derek tells Tracy exactly where he'll be 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.760 two days later, the hospital. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.320 He's got to come back for a follow up appointment. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.240 So she offers to pick him up afterwards. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.320 He goes our, Thanks babe. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:24.760 The plan is officially in motion and Special Agent Mike 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.600 is ready for action. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.320 You keep me updated. Will assemble a team take him 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:30.880 into custody. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:57.480 It's go time. After hatching a plan with Mike, Tracy 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.560 leaves Starbucks, walks to her car, gets in and closes 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.080 the door behind her, and. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.760 I drive to work and I'm like, what the hell 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:08.520 just happened? 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.639 Parked at work, Tracy calls her son. He's met Derek 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.560 plenty of times over the last two months, but he's 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.840 only just learning the guy's real name. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:26.480 Now he gets on the computer and he's finding all 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.960 of the stuff with the real name, and he's like, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.640 holy shit, man, this guy's crazy. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.240 This is how Tracy gets hold of the phone number 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.680 for Cindy from San Francisco. Her son finds it online. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.040 He's kind of a little sleuth himself. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.639 Cindy is still the unofficial secretary of this ever growing 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:51.119 club of Derek harl dread sexes. Sitting in the parking 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.280 lot of her work, Tracy gives Cindy a call. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.680 She's been tracking him for years. He keeps avoiding the police. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.000 Tracy is the newest recruit, but she's not the only one. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.320 In Texas. There's also Dorry. 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.600 Cindy connected us. It was very awkward. It was kind 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.600 of like, oh, okay, you're seeing him too. She met 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:14.800 him a day before I did. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:20.440 Oh, all right, well, what do you know about him? 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.639 Tracy tells Dorry that Derek sometimes turned up in a 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.280 borrowed car for his dates with her while his was 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.240 in the repair shop. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.639 License plate cover was pink. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.840 It turns out Dorry has a Camaro. 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.000 The camera was black, but it had pink on the inside, 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.240 pink emblem. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:38.679 The same car. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.760 I said, How did he explain away that, don't mind 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.280 this car, it's my daughter's. 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.680 Another time, Richie invited Tracy round to a townhouse in 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.320 the colony. He'd cooked them dinner, He'd opened a bottle 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.080 of wine, introduced her to the dogs. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.280 He told me it was his sister's. It was Dorry's 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.359 apartment with her dogs. Was very upset about that, and 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.760 rightfully so Dorry. I'm sorry I did not know. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.000 Then there was the Memorial Day weekend plans. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.879 He said he was taking me to the lake with 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.560 an Airbnb and Tracy goes, no, that's where we're going. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.320 I really think that he was going to take my 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:19.800 car and stuff and go with Tracy. 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.119 It's no wonder Richie, or should I say, Derek hadn't 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.320 booked a car for the Possam Kingdom Lake weekend. He 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.080 must have been expecting access to Dori's Camaro until she 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.320 inconveniently discovered the truth. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.200 He was whining and dying Tracy on my dime. All 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:42.560 those charges I saw for airbnbs and concerts and flowers 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:47.639 and gift cards, it was all for Tracy. I just 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:48.639 felt so used. 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.199 As for Tracy, she didn't feel used as much as 0:19:54.200 --> 0:20:00.400 she felt outraged. Derek hadn't stolen her credit cards yet. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.679 He'd already had Dorry's credit card. I didn't know that, 0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.960 of course, but he probably knew it was time to 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.199 move on from that one, to get another one to 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:08.960 continue on. 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.400 Derek Aldred had used the exact same alias and cover 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.840 story for both Dorry and Tracy. A college professor, a 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.639 naval officer, catching lifts to and from the airport for 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.280 his many trips to solve world crises in Washington. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.840 I drop him off at the airport and here ten 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.400 minutes later, Tracy said, she comes in and picks him up. 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.200 He tells her he's getting into town, tells me he's leaving, 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.399 and literally we were both like passing each other, probably 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.760 at the airport. 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.560 And with that a situation so unbelievably brazen that you 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.200 just have to laugh. Dorry and Tracy became fast friends. 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.399 Dorry had been through a lot. 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.520 I was very hurt by it, beat myself up really 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:00.320 bad about it. 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.080 But now she's got Tracy in her corner. 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:05.960 She helped me through it a lot. 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.800 Tracy just turned to humor and we just started laughing 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:11.719 about all the stuff that he got away with that 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:12.919 we allowed him to get away with. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:15.720 She is a bull in a china shop. 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:22.360 She is a strong, funny, don't take anything from anybody type. 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.919 Of girl, exactly what Dory needed. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.280 That's a real shit human being to do that to 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.240 another person. That made me angry because she did not 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:37.240 deserve that. She's very loving, she was very trusting. She's 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:41.560 a very good person, and it does anger me that 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.639 somebody had hurt her and made it where she feels 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:52.639 less trusting of humanity. That's sad, because she is wonderful. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.560 It was her money that was taking me out. 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.560 Often amusing dry. Tracy's got a new reason to hope. 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.800 Special Agent Mike's plan goes off without. 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.840 A hitch, and it's just like, I can't fix it, 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.119 but here's something to show that he's going to get his. 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:23.000 Hopefully by early afternoon. On first of June twenty seventeen, 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:27.159 Special Agent Mike and his team of undercover agents have 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:32.800 the hospital in Fort Worth surrounded. It's raining, it's. 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.280 A big compound. It's really a big campus. There's a 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:37.800 lot of people. There's a lot of cars. 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.280 Ambulances are coming in, people are being transported, people are parking. 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:46.320 Even if darrek Udred trusts Tracy enough to show up today, 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.960 there are ways this could all go pear shaped fast. 0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.720 He could have escaped anywhere, he could have hit any word. 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.720 It's really hard to keep track of somebody, so we 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:58.760 really had to have every area covered. 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:00.360 There's a lot of activity there. 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.680 Tracy has told Derek that once his procedure finishes, she'll 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:07.119 pick him up at the valet area in front of 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:08.520 the main hospital entrance. 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.560 She wanted to take him in the custody you herself. 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:15.639 But Mike has been clear, just keep the team updated, 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:20.000 stay at work, leave this one to the professionals. 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.240 So we were getting updates every thirty minutes, maybe an hour. 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.600 A lot can happen in forty eight hours. For one thing, 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.920 the Colony Police Department haven't quite got the memo about stealth. 0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:37.439 Today we have another be on the lookout video on. 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:41.400 Their Facebook page. They've published a video announcing for all 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.760 to see that they're looking to arrest Derek Audred. 0:23:45.320 --> 0:23:47.800 So, Derek, Richard, rich whatever name you want to. 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:49.720 Be called by, give us a call. 0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:52.000 We'll keep the light on for you. We have nice 0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:53.439 jail for the rest of you out. 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:57.679 Special Agent Mike isn't happy. If Derek sees it, he 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:01.000 might decide to flee and this whole plan will be 0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:01.800 for nothing. 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.720 A lot depends on Tracy and her believability and her 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.160 pushing Derek back into her arms. 0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:16.200 On the afternoon of Derek's follow up procedure. Dotted around 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:20.800 the hospital complex are agents from Special Agent Mike's team. 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.080 At this point, everybody has a picture of him. We 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.320 had some people on foot, we had some people in cars. 0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:30.159 The officers on foot are in playing clothes, trying to 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.600 look like normal hospital visitors. 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:35.320
