Speaker 1: Y'all. This is part two of the cold case of
Speaker 1: Laura Lee's spear. Y'all remember last week we got to
Speaker 1: speak with Sheriff Chipwood out of the Volushi County Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic. He wants this case solved and he's
Speaker 1: got the right man on it. I'm gonna tell y'all
Speaker 1: Detective Cordell LeMay. He has been with the Volucia County
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office for fourteen years, eleven of those as a detective.
Speaker 1: He has worked major case He's worked crimes against persons,
Speaker 1: property crimes. Started as a road deputy and that's where
Speaker 1: he got I'm sure the majority of his training. He
Speaker 1: holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a professional
Speaker 1: certificate in profiling, both from UCF the University of Central Florida.
Speaker 1: He was the first deputy in recent memory, so that's
Speaker 1: probably about three decades that successfully investigated and charged a
Speaker 1: reco case. Then he pioneered the development of the geo
Speaker 1: fence search warrant for his department. He was only second
Speaker 1: to Raleigh, North Carolina in the whole country pulling that off.
Speaker 1: He was also Investigator of the Year. I have talked
Speaker 1: to this man. We have talked about Laura Lee's case,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell y'all right now, he don't
Speaker 1: get tired. We talked about different people, threw some names out,
Speaker 1: said hey, this might be a way to get you
Speaker 1: some help. This might be a different advantage point, this
Speaker 1: might be a new way to look at something. He
Speaker 1: was all about it. He was not going to hesitate
Speaker 1: to try whatever he could. It is my honor to
Speaker 1: welcome Detective Cordell le May to Zone seven.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for the kind of introduction. I
Speaker 2: really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: You are more than welcome. I'll tell you the sheriff
Speaker 1: had some nice things to say about you too, off air,
Speaker 1: of course, but he did. It was a wonderful conversation,
Speaker 1: and he just talked about how devoted you were and
Speaker 1: determined and just a solid deputy all the way around,
Speaker 1: well respected, good head on your shoulders, ethical, the whole package.
Speaker 1: So I know what you're putting into this case, and
Speaker 1: I just appreciate you coming and sharing with us and
Speaker 1: maybe even talking a little bit about how anybody listening
Speaker 1: can help you. So why don't you take a second
Speaker 1: and just kind of give us an overview of Laurlee
Speaker 1: Spears's case the way you know it.
Speaker 2: On April twenty fifth, nineteen ninety four, a rictim Laurley Spear.
Speaker 2: She was a fifteen year old high school student. She
Speaker 2: lived in DeLand, Florida, which is, for those unfamiliars, a
Speaker 2: pretty rural town in Vlusha County, Florida. It especially was
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety four. Larlie went to DeLand High School
Speaker 2: and she was a just getting into the cheerleading squad,
Speaker 2: and in addition to that, she was active in her
Speaker 2: local church youth group. From all of the interviews with
Speaker 2: family and friends, those were her two main priorities. Extracurricular
Speaker 2: stuff outside of that didn't really didn't really exist. So
Speaker 2: it was it was school, homework, straight A. She was
Speaker 2: a straight A student, and when she wasn't at home
Speaker 2: or at school, she was out at cheerleading practice or
Speaker 2: she was at a church function.
Speaker 1: So this was a good kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I almost want to say, like textbook perfect child.
Speaker 2: From everything I've heard about her, didn't have a mean
Speaker 2: bone in her body. And that's really what makes what
Speaker 2: happened to her so disturbing and upsetting, because here we
Speaker 2: have a truly innocent victim. On April twenty fifth, ninety four,
Speaker 2: she got off her school bus around three point thirty
Speaker 2: pm on Deerfoot Road into Land now back then Deerfoot
Speaker 2: Road it still is, but back then even more so.
Speaker 2: It was a dirt road, probably about a mile long,
Speaker 2: actually three quarters of a mile long, and there were
Speaker 2: houses on each side of the dirt road. But it
Speaker 2: was the road was pretty narrow, so only about wide
Speaker 2: enough for a single car to get by one at
Speaker 2: a time. She was the only one that got off
Speaker 2: on her school bus, got off of her school bus
Speaker 2: at that stop, and so she walked down the road
Speaker 2: to her home and she never made it home.
Speaker 1: And she was a rule follower, I mean she would
Speaker 1: have hit that door right on ton absolutely.
Speaker 2: It was said that her mother could almost set a
Speaker 2: clock by her schedule. Her mom was home and so
Speaker 2: within ten to fifteen minutes of her not getting home,
Speaker 2: her mother realized that something was a miss. She started
Speaker 2: calling around to Larley's friends and to neighbors asking if
Speaker 2: anybody's seen her, and nobody had, so at that point
Speaker 2: her mother called the sheriff's office. There was actually one
Speaker 2: or two deputies that were patrolling that area at the time,
Speaker 2: they weren't far away. They responded to take that missing
Speaker 2: person's report at about four o'clock. Like I said, she
Speaker 2: got off the school bus at three thirty. At about
Speaker 2: four o'clock her mom reports are missing. People in the
Speaker 2: neighborhood start looking for her. Deputy start looking for the helicopter,
Speaker 2: which we call air one, goes up in the air
Speaker 2: and starts starts looking for her in the area, and
Speaker 2: they locate her body not far away the other end
Speaker 2: of the road that she lives on, which is basically
Speaker 2: about a quarter of a mile away from her house.
Speaker 2: They locate her body there at a burned down residence.
Speaker 2: The house that it was at it caught fire of
Speaker 2: the year before burned down. Nobody lived there anymore, but
Speaker 2: that's where the helicopter found her body at about five
Speaker 2: forty PM I believe.
Speaker 1: So DeLand is inland, yes, So it's what forty minutes
Speaker 1: from the beach, give or ten. So you're not talking
Speaker 1: about somebody that's near the water where all kinds of
Speaker 1: tourists and different people would be just walking or driving
Speaker 1: or cruising around.
Speaker 2: No, DeLand is not a tourist destination. It's just you know,
Speaker 2: a residential, little small town in the area.
Speaker 1: And Deerfoot Road. I mean it's lined with pretty thick
Speaker 1: woods even today.
Speaker 2: Yeah today, even more so back then, which is why
Speaker 2: it wasn't easy for you know, the cars to pass
Speaker 2: each other on the road. You had to pull over
Speaker 2: to let somebody drive by.
Speaker 1: If somebody was laying in wait, she wouldn't have seen them.
Speaker 1: So I have to brag a little bit now about
Speaker 1: your department, because a lot of times nineteen ninety four
Speaker 1: or today, you get a call like that from a
Speaker 1: mama and you're like, well, I mean, maybe she's talped
Speaker 1: at a friend's house, maybe she missed a bus, maybe
Speaker 1: she decided to go to a boyfriend's house, maybe she
Speaker 1: ran away. Y'all did not do that. Y'all immediately took
Speaker 1: this seriously, got some deputies over there, started a search,
Speaker 1: even put a helicopter in the air. I mean within
Speaker 1: an hour, you pretty much had a full own search,
Speaker 1: which I think is impressive.
Speaker 2: They really did, because it was just so outside of
Speaker 2: the norm for this girl. She didn't go anywhere on
Speaker 2: her own, She didn't take it upon herself to hey,
Speaker 2: you know, just walk over to her friends or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know if she wasn't where she was supposed to
Speaker 2: be when she was supposed to be, and there was
Speaker 2: some sort of issue.
Speaker 1: And that's important to understand that victimology, and I mean
Speaker 1: detective I got four sisters. Charlene, you could set a
Speaker 1: clock by she was going to be home when she
Speaker 1: said she was going to be home. Now, my sister Shelley,
Speaker 1: that was a different story. If she found a better
Speaker 1: time or something more interesting or something more fun, she
Speaker 1: was going to go in that direction. So I mean,
Speaker 1: we would have probably waited much, much, much longer before
Speaker 1: we realized something bad had happened to her, because we
Speaker 1: knew she was probably somewhere half the time of her life.
Speaker 1: But I think it's important that even her sister Jenny,
Speaker 1: who was only thirteen, I mean, everybody in her family
Speaker 1: knew she wasn't running away. She wasn't somewhere spoken and drinking.
Speaker 1: She wasn't somewhere just with friends playing video games. That
Speaker 1: was not her style. So again, I think your department
Speaker 1: taking it on like I did, says an awful lot.
Speaker 1: And y'all ain't given up yet. I mean you're still
Speaker 1: giving it everything you've got.
Speaker 2: Well, we really are. I mean, it's just passed the
Speaker 2: thirtieth anniversary of this happening. This thing needs to be solved,
Speaker 2: and we're all of the same opinion, and from the
Speaker 2: top all the way down, we want to try and
Speaker 2: pull out every stop that we can to make sure
Speaker 2: that this thing gets resolved. It's been too long now,
Speaker 2: and y'all.
Speaker 1: Have offered fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: That's a chunk it change it is.
Speaker 1: And if I had to guess that abandoned house was
Speaker 1: the centerpiece for some folks going there drinking, smoking, shooting guns,
Speaker 1: this is not the only crime they've been associated with.
Speaker 2: Yes, So that area after it burned out, I don't
Speaker 2: know what it was like before it burned down, but
Speaker 2: after it burned down, it became a hangout spot of sorts.
Speaker 2: Older teenagers, young adults would go back there, hang out,
Speaker 2: drink beers. Shooting was not uncommon in the area, So
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is specifically the only place
Speaker 2: that people would go target shooting, but after talking with
Speaker 2: many of the neighbors at that time, it was uncommon
Speaker 2: to hear gunshots and there was plenty of evidence of
Speaker 2: target practice going on at the scene there, which becomes
Speaker 2: such an important aspect of the investigation because of the
Speaker 2: fact that we found evidence to suggest that the person
Speaker 2: who killed her had been there previously at another date
Speaker 2: target shooting in that area, which obviously you and I
Speaker 2: understand to be very important because it shows that whoever's there,
Speaker 2: it's not like some passer by just passing through the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: They most likely live around that area, and they're familiar
Speaker 2: with the area, and they've been there before. And what
Speaker 2: makes it doubly important is if there are other people
Speaker 2: hanging out there in addition to this unknown suspect being
Speaker 2: there occasionally, some people are probably going to cross paths
Speaker 2: with this guy at some point.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think the possibility that other people know this person,
Speaker 1: know that this person shot guns there, know that this
Speaker 1: person was kind of a regular there. I have a
Speaker 1: feeling he either bragged about it or told on himself
Speaker 1: in some way, because again, as the crow flies, you know,
Speaker 1: he might be able to go somewhere and be a
Speaker 1: good distance away sort of. But the reality is that
Speaker 1: spot is not something you would see from the roadway.
Speaker 1: It's not something you would know about if you weren't
Speaker 1: from that general area.
Speaker 2: And I mean like to yeah, absolutely, And I used
Speaker 2: to back when I was on patrol in my early
Speaker 2: days at the agency. I worked in that area, and
Speaker 2: this is before I learned of this case, But I
Speaker 2: became kind of familiar with those back roads and everything.
Speaker 2: But when I first went back there, I had no
Speaker 2: idea where the heckuy was going. I was kind of
Speaker 2: it was easy to get lost, so especially if somebody
Speaker 2: had to be familiar with the area and know where
Speaker 2: they were going.
Speaker 1: Now y'all have done such due diligence. Y'all have had
Speaker 1: about twenty four different suspects.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a lot more than that, to be
Speaker 2: completely honest. So we have DNA that's going to help
Speaker 2: us find this guy. As far as the DNA goes,
Speaker 2: we're able to use it to either rule in or
Speaker 2: rule out somebody. Obviously, so far, everybody has been that
Speaker 2: we've been focusing on has been ruled out, so to speak,
Speaker 2: or else we wouldn't be talking about this case anymore.
Speaker 2: And of course there's there's people that we may can't
Speaker 2: come into contact with that you know, refuse to give
Speaker 2: us our DNA, that don't want to help out the
Speaker 2: investigation for whatever reason. So you know, we got to
Speaker 2: kind of think more three dimensionally about.
Speaker 1: How to how to.
Speaker 2: Deal with those those issues. But way back in the
Speaker 2: day when this started, through interviews that were done at
Speaker 2: the time, a dark colored truck became a focal point
Speaker 2: of this investigation after some neighbors in the area talked about,
Speaker 2: you know, hearing gunshots, hearing gunshots around the time of
Speaker 2: the murder when it would have happened, and then seeing
Speaker 2: a dark colored truck beaten feet pretty quick out of
Speaker 2: the area. It doesn't mean that's what we're looking for,
Speaker 2: but it's a clue. At the time, you know, before
Speaker 2: DNA evidence and anything like that existed, or while it
Speaker 2: was in its infancy, this dark colored truck was one
Speaker 2: of the biggest leads. We wound up with a guy.
Speaker 2: His name was Bobby Rally. Bobby Raley was he was
Speaker 2: currently in jail for a double murder that he and
Speaker 2: his cousin, Domingo Figueroa, committed in June of that year,
Speaker 2: So June nineteen ninety four, like a month and a
Speaker 2: half after this murder, and while he was in jail
Speaker 2: for it, there were some people in the jail that
Speaker 2: started giving information about him, saying that he had confessed
Speaker 2: to this, or he was making really weird comments about
Speaker 2: this case. What they were telling us or what they
Speaker 2: were telling the detectives at the time seemed very good.
Speaker 2: It was decent evidence. We got all these people, probably
Speaker 2: like five or six people in the jail. It was
Speaker 2: coming forward with this stuff that either Bobby Rally is
Speaker 2: telling them or they inadvertently observed about him when he
Speaker 2: was at the jail, and so, uh, that really put
Speaker 2: him on the radar. You know, he matched a or
Speaker 2: he drove a vehicle that was pretty close to the
Speaker 2: suspect description. I guess it was probably like a day
Speaker 2: or two after the murder he actually took off to Virginia.
Speaker 2: That was one of the things that we were looking for,
Speaker 2: is that somebody who may all of a sudden up
Speaker 2: and leave town, you know, after this sort of thing happens.
Speaker 2: And so all this evidence was was compiled, it was
Speaker 2: brought to a grand jury, and Bobby Rally was indicted
Speaker 2: for this murder. And then some inconsistencies started showing. Long
Speaker 2: story short, the investigation was reassigned and I guess I'll
Speaker 2: say it was determined that Bobby Rally didn't do it,
Speaker 2: but it was determined there wasn't probable cause for Bobby
Speaker 2: Rally having done it, especially especially one of one of
Speaker 2: the most impactful pieces of evidence was there was a
Speaker 2: truck upholstery shop in the area and that was run
Speaker 2: by a retired deputy who used to work with us.
Speaker 2: On the day of the murder, Bobby Raley brought his
Speaker 2: truck in there to get his seats replaced, and it
Speaker 2: was in such a timeframe that it wouldn't have been
Speaker 2: possible for him to do the murder and get back
Speaker 2: there and be there to have his truck work done.
Speaker 2: And so the charges against him were dropped and for
Speaker 2: all intents and purposes, it was back to square one
Speaker 2: with the investigation. Because this process with charging Bobby Raley,
Speaker 2: I think it went on for a couple of years,
Speaker 2: you know, after him being charged and you know, hearings
Speaker 2: and the court process and all of that. So during
Speaker 2: that time the investigation wasn't focused on anyone else. After
Speaker 2: going through the case file and the deep dives that
Speaker 2: I've done on it, there were a lot of good
Speaker 2: suspects at the time. Say, in my experience as a detective,
Speaker 2: I've never seen a rogues gallery of such good suspects
Speaker 2: in a small area, especially a small little town like this.
Speaker 2: Over the years after the charges against Rawlei were dropped,
Speaker 2: the detectives that have worked on this case before me,
Speaker 2: I've obviously done their due diligence to try and rule
Speaker 2: out these other good suspects that we have. Some of
Speaker 2: them have been ruled out, and you know, some of
Speaker 2: them haven't been cooperative or for whatever reason, they have
Speaker 2: not been ruled out. And I think it's important to
Speaker 2: specify when I say ruled out, and I tell you
Speaker 2: earlier on that we have DNA evidence. We use the
Speaker 2: word ruled out or eliminated as a suspect or something
Speaker 2: like that, But all it really means is that this
Speaker 2: person is eliminated as a contributor to the DNA that
Speaker 2: we do have. It doesn't mean that this person wasn't there,
Speaker 2: you know, if there were more than one people. But
Speaker 2: what it does mean is that for this whatever this
Speaker 2: particular suspect data that we do have, that this person
Speaker 2: isn't the one that matches that gotcha.
Speaker 1: Well, there's things about the crime saying y'all have never
Speaker 1: released and I am a big fan of the ex girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and if there is anybody that we were to come
Speaker 1: forward to say they dated this person that was known
Speaker 1: to be at the house. That may be a name
Speaker 1: that's in your file.
Speaker 2: You mean, like the people who used to live in
Speaker 2: that house before it burned down? Is oatch? You mean?
Speaker 1: I mean somebody that calls you up and says, hey,
Speaker 1: I used to date X and he hung out at
Speaker 1: that house and he told me yes, you know, GF
Speaker 1: and R were at the scene, and You're like, we
Speaker 1: have never released R. So how would this person know that.
Speaker 1: I think we need to, you know, push this call
Speaker 1: to action because I believe in my gut people know
Speaker 1: this was not somebody that wasn't known to a ton
Speaker 1: of people that went there drinking and smoking weed. They
Speaker 1: all knew each other, and after this happened, they all disbanded,
Speaker 1: and this person probably went goes for a little bit
Speaker 1: and then started do another crap and is either in
Speaker 1: jail in and out the last thirty years or he's
Speaker 1: in prison right now.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, whether it's one person that's responsible for this, Larly
Speaker 2: was she was raised right, Okay, she heard all the
Speaker 2: things that you know kids heard back in the nineties there,
Speaker 2: you know, just say no to drugs, don't take candy
Speaker 2: from strangers, you know, don't get into a vehicle with
Speaker 2: weird people. And so she wouldn't have been one to
Speaker 2: just hop into somebody's car, you know, if they were
Speaker 2: driving down the road. There was an anecdote that I
Speaker 2: remember from from that time that I guess there was
Speaker 2: a neighbor with his son's that was driving down that
Speaker 2: road and it was raining out, and he saw her
Speaker 2: walking home and he stopped to say, hey, I'll give
Speaker 2: you right back to your house. And with that innocent circumstance,
Speaker 2: she politely declined said, hey, no, I'm not supposed to
Speaker 2: get in the car with anybody. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: think if if somebody were to get her in a car,
Speaker 2: which obviously I think is the only way that she
Speaker 2: could have been taken almost a mile down the road,
Speaker 2: I was transported in a vehicle, somebody either had to
Speaker 2: force her in there under threat, or there is more
Speaker 2: than one person. The easiest secret to keep is the
Speaker 2: secret only one person knows about, because you don't cut
Speaker 2: other people that can ratch you out. But even if
Speaker 2: it's just one person, I firmly believe over thirty years,
Speaker 2: somebody had to get this off their chest to somebody.
Speaker 2: If there's two people or more, then more than one
Speaker 2: person already know about it. If there's one person, they
Speaker 2: probably told somebody. If you know, mom, dad, girlfriend, grandma,
Speaker 2: somebody out there knows about what happened. I guess it's
Speaker 2: incumbent upon somebody's hopeful goodness as a person if they
Speaker 2: have this information to finally come forward with it. There's
Speaker 2: been a lot of people that have come forward. Every
Speaker 2: time we have some sort of publicity about this case,
Speaker 2: well meeting, people come forward to say, hey, this happened
Speaker 2: back then. I thought maybe this is suspicious, maybe you
Speaker 2: guys should check this person out. But to this day,
Speaker 2: nobody has come forward and said, hey, I know something
Speaker 2: about this, and this is what I know.
Speaker 1: I want to be real clear. Don't call because you're
Speaker 1: mad at an ex husband, don't call because you're trying
Speaker 1: to get your neighbor in trouble or something ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: want you to be able to call and say, this
Speaker 1: is something about the crime scene that is not in
Speaker 1: the newspaper, and the only reason I know it is
Speaker 1: because this person told me. They bragged they got drunk,
Speaker 1: they went to jail and needed some type of status.
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing about you know, the Bobby Riley
Speaker 1: you were talking about, if he said something to a
Speaker 1: salemate that was enough to make that person reach out
Speaker 1: to y'all. Again, let's get specific and if the DNA
Speaker 1: doesn't match him, again, if there's a second person, does
Speaker 1: it match Domingo Figueroa, Does it match somebody else that
Speaker 1: they know? Are those two taking this case on because
Speaker 1: they know who did it? But since they're in jail,
Speaker 1: they know this guy hadn't been arrested, so they can
Speaker 1: get the status from doing it. Let's make that push
Speaker 1: somebody out their nose. This person has not kept their
Speaker 1: mouth shut for thirty years. They have also not led
Speaker 1: an honorable life. I can tell you that. And nine
Speaker 1: times out of ten his name is in your case file.
Speaker 2: There's DNA advancements happening all the time. I'm not a scientist,
Speaker 2: I'm just a cop. So some of this stuff is
Speaker 2: difficult to wrap your mind around about how it works.
Speaker 2: But I'm confident that with what we have, it's less
Speaker 2: of an if we find what we're looking for and
Speaker 2: more more of a win. It's just a matter of time.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. One hundred percent, which is another
Speaker 1: reason I'm telling those people, if you're listening to this,
Speaker 1: there's fifty thousand dollars on the table right now, and
Speaker 1: Detective le May is coming. He's going to solve it.
Speaker 1: He's already got in his rolodex the name of some
Speaker 1: people that I guarantee you if it's solvable, they can
Speaker 1: do it today. So come forward, tell what you know,
Speaker 1: because it's going to happen anyway. And I mean, fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is life changing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I could think of a lot of things
Speaker 2: to do with fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? That could be the next six episodes
Speaker 1: of Zone seven? What mean you to do with the
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars?
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am, And you know. And I feel like, just
Speaker 2: from a perspective of appealing to the humanity of people,
Speaker 2: of somebody who may know what happened and is listening,
Speaker 2: or even you know, even the person that did it themselves,
Speaker 2: I can only imagine that this sort of thing is
Speaker 2: a thing that eats at you, like somebody out there
Speaker 2: did something really terrible and got thirty years to live
Speaker 2: their life and do whatever they wanted to do with
Speaker 2: their life. Meanwhile, Larley Spears stuck back in nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: four because she never really got the chance to get
Speaker 2: her life going. You know, it's time for the person
Speaker 2: out that did it. It's time to It's a come
Speaker 2: to Jesus moment. If we don't get you first, it's
Speaker 2: time to do the right things.
Speaker 1: I agree, And you know there's another reality. Some of
Speaker 1: those people that used to party at that house have
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old daughter today, have a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old daughter, have a thirteen year old daughter like her sister.
Speaker 1: You get to look at her every day, what she's into,
Speaker 1: what she enjoys, the music, the school, dances, her clothes, whatever.
Speaker 1: And you know who took that from somebody? You know
Speaker 1: what would what it would do to you if something
Speaker 1: were to happen to your child. It's a phone call.
Speaker 1: You don't even have to say who you are, give
Speaker 1: a name, give something that is not in the newspaper,
Speaker 1: not even five minutes out of your day. Call detectivelo
Speaker 1: May and say, hey, I don't want to give you
Speaker 1: my name. I'm calling from a phone at Target. But
Speaker 1: here's what I know, and here's who I know did it.
Speaker 1: And I've read every newspaper article and this isn't in.
Speaker 2: It, absolutely, and I mean it's important for people to
Speaker 2: know and understand that. And we're not relying on the
Speaker 2: charity of strangers to try and point us in the
Speaker 2: right direction. We're still out there beating up, beating the
Speaker 2: pavement on this thing. I've knocked on on people's doors.
Speaker 2: I tell them why I'm there, and their headspins. They're like, still,
Speaker 2: like this thing's so old, you guys are you're still
Speaker 2: actively looking into this, and it's like, yeah, we're still
Speaker 2: going to ain't got to stop, Like no, that.
Speaker 1: Blows my mind. It blows my mind when people think
Speaker 1: that way, like there's a statute of limitations where we're
Speaker 1: just not going to care about laar Ley Spear again.
Speaker 1: And the reality is, let's say this person did get
Speaker 1: completely away with it. That means there is somebody out
Speaker 1: there pumping gas next to your daughter, somebody working at
Speaker 1: the golf course next to your son, somebody eating dinner
Speaker 1: next to your wife. That is not okay for that
Speaker 1: killer to be able to do any of those things.
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you something else. If y'all
Speaker 1: don't want to call the police, reach out to me.
Speaker 1: We had somebody. I'm gonna tell the truth. We had
Speaker 1: a witness come through Zone seven last week. You can
Speaker 1: call me, and for anybody listening, I can set the
Speaker 1: record completely straight with y'all. I am a snitch. You
Speaker 1: hear me, I got no fall. I will call the
Speaker 1: detective at two in the morning, two in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: I will go knock on his office door. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell it. So if you call me, I am more
Speaker 1: than happy to type it up, get it to him,
Speaker 1: raise my right hand and swear this happened. This person
Speaker 1: reached out. You don't have to tell me who you are.
Speaker 1: You can send me an anonymous message or phone message
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to do. Y'all know how to
Speaker 1: work social media and everything else. You can reach out
Speaker 1: anytime and I will get the information there. It's that
Speaker 1: important and it's that easy.
Speaker 2: Yes. And speaking of the anonymity, we have crime Stoppers
Speaker 2: in Florida to completely anonymous service if you want it
Speaker 2: to be. People submit tips to us through there all
Speaker 2: the time. Sometimes people when there's rewards, people aren't even
Speaker 2: concerned about the money, you know, They like I just
Speaker 2: don't want to get involved, but I want to say
Speaker 2: something and you know that or them calling use a
Speaker 2: perfect way for them for them to do that. If
Speaker 2: somebody is interested in the money aspect of it, we're
Speaker 2: there for you to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right on, because I'm going to tell it for free,
Speaker 1: because that's just the right thing to do. But if
Speaker 1: you need the money, and the money is there, that's
Speaker 1: why they put it up. And if you need to
Speaker 1: get that money, tell on this person and move. You've
Speaker 1: got the means to be able to do it. The
Speaker 1: biggest thing is do it, Detective. Give us a cross
Speaker 1: street and maybe jog some folks' memories of exactly where
Speaker 1: this house.
Speaker 2: Was lacross street where this happened was. It was a
Speaker 2: lot right on the corner of these two streets. It
Speaker 2: was Deerfoot Road and Facio Road, and the land Deerfoot
Speaker 2: Road runs it only runs from Facio Road to spring
Speaker 2: Garden Road. And so Laralie got off the off the
Speaker 2: bus at Deerfoot in spring Garden and she was found
Speaker 2: all the way at the other end at Deerfoot and Facio.
Speaker 2: That's the house that you know was used for hanging out, drinking,
Speaker 2: shooting back then. Both Deerfoot Road and Facio Road, they
Speaker 2: are both out of the way, dirt roads perfect.
Speaker 1: And again, I truly believe that somebody used to frequent
Speaker 1: that place, and after this happened, I don't think they
Speaker 1: ever returned, and I think it was really obvious to
Speaker 1: the people that knew them. And I just am prayerful
Speaker 1: that somebody's going to come forward, and we are going
Speaker 1: to keep y'all updated. And if y'all can think of
Speaker 1: anything that you know, Detective la May can try, or
Speaker 1: that Zone seven can try, let us know and we
Speaker 1: will see what we can do to push this thing
Speaker 1: where he needs it to be. Detective I appreciate you
Speaker 1: so much. I know that her family appreciates what you're doing.
Speaker 1: And like I said, you and I have talked that
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to talk again, and I will
Speaker 1: see you and Belusha soon.
Speaker 2: All right, it sounds good. Thank you, Cheryl. I appreciate
Speaker 2: it so much.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, y'all. I'm going to end Zone seven the way
Speaker 1: that I always do with a quote. Even when a
Speaker 1: case wasn't mine, if I thought I could contribute, whether
Speaker 1: with my forensics expertise or investigative doggedness, I always found
Speaker 1: a way to insert myself. Paul Hols I'm Cheryl McCollum
Speaker 1: and this is Zone seven.
