1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: You place your left hand on the Bible and raise 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: your right hand and repeat after me. I do solemnly 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: swear the jury trying it attended, not scared. The process 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: continued this weekend at Ferguson and around the country, resisting 5 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: your it makes no sense. If it doesn't fit, you 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: must have quit. Judge, you are the last line of 7 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: reason in this case. Every one of us took it 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: all some office and we're sworn to uphold the Constitution. 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: From Tenderfoot TV in Atlanta, this is sworn. I'm your host, 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Philip Holloway. I haven't went out investigating, and I asked 11 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: questions like yall, some people, we all thought, tell me, 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: some people won't. Some people are scared. When it first happened, 13 00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: everybody's like they get killed. Last episode, we talked to 14 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: the local news outlets that covered the Wideman case. We 15 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: also talked to a local family friend. It's been hard 16 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,279 Speaker 1: for us to get a lot of the details straight. 17 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: We needed to talk with the current Turner County Sheriff, 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: Andy Hester. I tried sending him a message, and Mason 19 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: tried calling twice, but we got no answer. I reached 20 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: out to him by phone and my text message, but 21 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: I had no love. Finally, I decided to send one 22 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: of the sworn producers in person to see if we 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: could ask him some questions about the Wideman case. Seven 24 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: November October September. On our way down to Rebecca, we 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: stopped at the Turner County E. M. S and Fire station. 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: I met a group of nice people who are willing 27 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: to sit through the fire report documents to find the 28 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: one on the Wideman case. So it's filed in the 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: two thousand one because if this player runs one through June. 30 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: They brought out a box of paper files that they 31 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: had in storage July August, September, October, November to Sember. 32 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: Their fiscal year runs July one thro so even though 33 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: the Wyman fire took place in two thousand two, it 34 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: would be filed in with the two thousand one reports. 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: So large is into two thousand one would because we 36 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: used to have to do um monthly reports and turn 37 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: it into forestry now, so that means it's either burned 38 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: or it's that's wise not solved because the wards are gone. 39 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Maybe she's right. They looked for us, but they couldn't 40 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: find any of the two thousand one files Apparently the 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: protocol is to keep files dating back ten years and 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: after that they're burned. There should be a fire report 43 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: from that. All right, we don't know we threw anything away. 44 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: We were connected with Brad Calhoun, the husband of one 45 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: of the e M T s we've spoken to earlier. 46 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: I know he said that Sheriff's office definitely has a 47 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: copy of it, but yeah, I don't know if he'll 48 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: give it to me. Uh, I call that sho be 49 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: a problem. Brad is the county and District commissioner, so 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: he got us in touch with the Sheriff, Andy Hester. Come, well, 51 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: I'm Andy Hester. I'm the sheriff of Turner County. Spent 52 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: about twenty five of my years here in this county. 53 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: Whether it started out with Ashton Police Department and then 54 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: came to the Sheriff's office. We got lucky. Sheriff Hester 55 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: was in his office and he was willing to talk 56 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: to us. Status of the cases. It's open. It's raw 57 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: to all of us that work here, because it is 58 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: to me one being. I grew up here and I 59 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: knew the family to being. I'm the sheriff of this 60 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: county and people expect me to keep things fresh and 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: and worked on. And that's what my goal is, to 62 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: make sure that it's not, let you know, laying down stagnant. 63 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: Since I've been sheriff, I know I've called the gb 64 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: office and met with their sack at the time that 65 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: came down when I first become sheriff, I called him 66 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: and asked him to come. And that was the specific 67 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: reason as they picked this case back up and please 68 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: look at it harder and look at it. If anything 69 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: was not turned over, to turn it over. There's a 70 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: lot of information. I can't tell you that there's not 71 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: something there that could solve the case. I can't tell 72 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: you that there is, but I can say that there's 73 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: a lot of information that's been gathered. It's very important 74 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: that people if they know anything, it don't matter if 75 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: they think it's important or not. It might be a 76 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: little piece of thread that connects two things together that 77 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: we need connected that will solve the case. And uh 78 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: to I want to tell people that, yes, it will 79 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: be solved. I want to tell them that, and I 80 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: want them to be encouraged to anything they here to. 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: Please call and tell us us what we're here for. 82 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: They ain't gonna be bothering us. They ain't gonna cause 83 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: us to have any undo work that we don't need 84 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: to do. We need to do that work. You know, 85 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: if they don't trust the sheriff's office called the g 86 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: B office. Those guys, they didn't grow up here, They 87 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: don't have any friends, and they involved in either side. 88 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: And if there's any question, I hope there's not. I 89 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: hope the public that has all the confident and trust 90 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: in the world in the sheriff and the Sheriff's office here. 91 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: But if they don't, there's an avenue that they can 92 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: take to keep us clear of the information. They can 93 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: call the GBI and the g B I will work 94 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: that case with that information without us even knowing. That's fine. 95 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: I want the case solved. I don't care how it solved. 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: I don't care who it is that did it. We 97 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: want them in jail. They murdered three people, and uh, 98 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: they need to be brought to justice. That's what our 99 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: goal is. And I wish we could release a lot 100 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: of information out there to people like you that are 101 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 1: wanting to all you want to do solve the case. 102 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: I wish we could, and I don't want it to 103 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: seem like that we stonlee walling or putting up barricades 104 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: for you or the public. But there's just things that 105 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: are detrimental to cases that you don't release. Early on, 106 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: in our interview with the sheriff, we were met with 107 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: a common roadblock in cases like this. I really can't 108 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: tell you that information because it's it would be information 109 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: that don't need to be released. You see, with multiple 110 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: agencies involved and the fact that they all consider this 111 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: technically an ongoing investigation, whatever that means, even though it's 112 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: nearly been fifteen years, they still don't want to open 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: up about the facts of the case, and that would 114 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: be something you'd have to talk to the GBI about. 115 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: They still don't want to talk about what they're doing 116 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: to keep this case moving. I couldn't release any of 117 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: that information to you. I wouldn't be able to release 118 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: that information. The g b I would have to release 119 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: that to you. That's information that the g b I 120 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: would have to least if it's released. I can't tell 121 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: you that either. Are they doing what Sheriff Kendrick pleaded 122 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: with the gb I to do back in two thousand 123 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: and five. Are they actually doing something or is it 124 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: just simply sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust. Any 125 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: murder supporting to me. And I've had people say, well, 126 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, we have other cases that y'all don't put 127 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: as much interest in we did. And some of those 128 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: are not murders. They've been a suicide, or they've been 129 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: something else. And of course the family is always convinced 130 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: that their family members was a victim of somebody else's hand. 131 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: That's not always the case. And sometimes you show that 132 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: it was what it is and they're not satisfied with it. 133 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: And I understand that I would probably be the same 134 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: way if it was somebody I loved. But we have 135 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: no interest of it in solve crimes. We don't make 136 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: my check go up to solve a murder, and it 137 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: don't make it go down to not solve the murder. 138 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: My interests and my heart is to put bad guys 139 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: in jail for committing crimes, going home and laying my 140 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: head down, and I know, and I'm doing the right 141 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: thing for my family's name and for the public. Is 142 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: is my goal. I don't gain anything from covering something 143 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: up or uncovering something. It don't gain me anything. What 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: will gain me is if I do the right thing 145 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: and put people in jail at the criminals, that's the goal. 146 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: I just want the public to know and we depend 147 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: on them as much as we depend on each other 148 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: to get his job done. Once that it was determined 149 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: that they were someone in the house at some point 150 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: that morning, we contact the g b I and let 151 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: them come to the scene and started processing the scene. 152 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: After the fires extinguished and determined that there were people 153 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: in the home, they came and processed it before anything 154 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: was moved from the residents at all. They came initially 155 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: before and once the fire was out, before anything was 156 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: taken from the scene. Gb I was called a make 157 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: process the scene, crime scene taped off and there was 158 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: uh several days passed before that scene was released. I 159 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: do know that the the remains of the home was 160 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: sifted through, and I mean sifted. I'm talking about sifted 161 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: with a piece of equipment that sifts ashes and things 162 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: of that nature. So I know that it was processed thoroughly. 163 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: We asked the sheriff about the fire reports. He didn't 164 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: have them, and it sounded like he'd never even seen them. 165 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Now Brad told me that they I don't I don't 166 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: know if they could find it or whatever. UM there 167 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: should be a copy of the fire Department UM report 168 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: in the in the case file, and I mean that 169 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: would have been all in that. There's a box of 170 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: stuff that the gb I has and it's all in 171 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: that case file. I know there's a lot of information 172 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: out there because people, however, they found out information that 173 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of and some speculation 174 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: and some could be truth to some of it. I 175 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: couldn't confirm or deny. I know that the contact was 176 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: made with their families that morning. I don't know where 177 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: they were at reference to where they were when they 178 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: were contacted. I do know that some of the family 179 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: members came out to the scene that morning. So as 180 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: far as who contacted them, where they were at when 181 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: they were contacted, I don't I didn't contact them myself, 182 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: So whoever done that, I know it's probably in the 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: case file, but I don't know who did it or 184 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: where they were at when they were contacted. Some of 185 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: them live in Rebecca and some of them live in Tifton, 186 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: and so they were probably notified pretty quickly after it 187 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: was determined. You know that that somebody was in the house. 188 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure they were notified pretty quickly after that. I 189 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: know the ones that live in Rebecca, Charles Henry and 190 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: Diane Wyman, Chip Wyman, Larry and his wife has been 191 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: very adamant and persistent, which they should be about, you know, 192 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: the case being worked on and and and I agree 193 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: totally with them, but I know that everybody in the 194 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: county has their opinion what they think, which at this 195 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: time everybody that could be interviewed has been interviewed, whether 196 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: they were a suspect or a person of interest. I 197 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: know the gbis interviewed and exhausted all those avenues, and 198 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: certainly if there's been new ones over the time that 199 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: have come up to g BI has responded quickly and 200 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: promptly to go and follow up any leads. And so 201 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, our hope is through whatever means doing the 202 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: news interviews and things like this, that somebody somewhere will 203 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, remember something, or maybe I have told somebody 204 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: at the time and that person didn't act or whatever 205 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: or didn't relay that information on it. We can rehash 206 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: it again or visit it again, but I can't tell 207 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: you we have a suspect, and I can't tell you 208 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: we don't either I do know that every avenue has 209 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: been checked on that could be checked on, whether it 210 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: led to new information or whether it ruled somebody out 211 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: or rule somebody in. I can't tell you that either, 212 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: but we have and recent as Sunday got information that's 213 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: been given in the case that could be beneficially could 214 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: We don't know yet, but it's everything that we can gather. 215 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: Someone little something can make the difference, and that's what 216 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: we're hoping. And I hope that some little something comes 217 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: along that's the piece to the puzzle that we need. 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: And I feel like somebody out there knows something that 219 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: maybe will will help, whether they think they give it 220 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: before and then it just didn't work out or not, 221 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: or I hope they'll refresh it and say, look Sheriff, 222 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: we we've told this before, but we want to tell 223 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: it again, and I make sure that it's you know, 224 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: goes to who it needs to be and it is 225 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: followed up on. I mean, that's my I kind of 226 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: feel like the coaching a deal where I want to 227 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: make sure everything's done that can be done. I think 228 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: that we could have been a lot closer than we 229 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: are now do. I think there's some out there somewhere. 230 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: I do I think there's something that's just not been reported, 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: or something that could be picked up on outside that 232 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: physical location there, because everything that could be got from 233 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: that physical location has been got. A fire destroyers a 234 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: lot of things. But I do know that anything it 235 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: could have been collected was collected just out of history 236 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: of doing this job twenty seven years, that when somebody 237 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: acts along, it's a lot harder catch them than it 238 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: is if you've got somebody that's helped them. I know 239 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: that I don't have a clue. We don't. I can't 240 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: tell you if there was one or two or five 241 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: in this instance, but I know that people have a 242 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: hard time keeping their mouth shut. So I hope that 243 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: somebody somewhere knows something and they'll tell I think it 244 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: costs some maybe some anger and people that are just 245 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: convinced that they know who could have done it and 246 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: that that they hadn't been arrested. But it's just not 247 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: that easy, and to just say, well, we think they 248 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: did it, we got to have stuff to put them 249 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: in jail. And so the unfortunate thing is is that 250 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: we as law enforcement. Of course, I got a bunch 251 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: of people here that's that didn't grow up here. I 252 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: know everybody, all of them, they ever part of the 253 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: family on both sides, and uh so, you know, there's 254 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: always speculations about what sheriff knows this and or knows 255 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: that or whatever. But I got investigators and g B 256 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: I work in this case that have no clue who 257 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: any of these people are. They don't have ties to them, 258 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: They ain't connected to them in some form of fashion 259 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: because of living here. And so that alone, I hope 260 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: it takes the conflict out of people's minds that want 261 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: to Shriff can control and do what he wants to 262 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: do with cases, and that's not the case. My interest 263 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: is solved cases. I don't care who they are. But 264 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: if there's anybody that has that kind of a conflict, 265 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: I want them to be assured that the people that 266 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: work this case, that work at the Sheriff's office, energy 267 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: B I have no connection with these families at all 268 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: either way. They don't have a dog and if I 269 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: either way, so there's no influence. I try to stay 270 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: as clear from cases like that. My deputies when they 271 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: go out and answer calls, if they know families like that, 272 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: I'll try to steer another deputy of that location, just 273 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: because of the mere conflict that causes in people's minds. 274 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: So I think that's the only thing that's affected the 275 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: community is they think that they know who did it, 276 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: and they think they should be in jail. And I 277 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: agree with him. I want somebody in jail too that 278 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: did it. As my personal experience, as you always start 279 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: closest you can to the incident, the family and things 280 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: of that nature. So now what kind of cooperation you 281 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: get out of them, I don't have a clue. Some 282 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: of it could be the fact that they are, you know, 283 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: wanting to be patient, let the g b I. They 284 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: don't want to do anything to interfere with the case either, 285 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: And some of it could be other reasons. You know. 286 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: I always start inside the house and work out with 287 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: missing kids because I have found them leading the close 288 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: of a sleep and they think they've been kidnapped and 289 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: they're and they're sleeping the pile of clothes. So I 290 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: always starting to center the house and work out. I 291 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: think that's a good rule of thing for anything. He's 292 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: starting the center of the conflict and work out, you 293 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: find out a lot of things moving outwards. So there's 294 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people question and certainly all those that 295 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: were closest to the family, which I know they were questioned. 296 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: I think they were all interviewed, you know, starting in 297 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the house, she started out and question everybody. 298 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: We were all interviewed about everybody, you know, the families 299 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. We were all interviewed about that stuff. 300 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: You know. Everybody's always skeptical about releasing something that runs 301 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: the case because then it makes us look bad and 302 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: then well the sheriff shouldn't have done that, or he 303 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: he let out something that calls him to lose the case. 304 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: That's we're scared of. We're we're scared of letting out 305 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: one something and then getting the chord and they're throwing 306 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: it out because we released it and it's tainted a 307 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: jury or something like that. That's what we're scared of. 308 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: We're not scared of without have anything to hide. It's 309 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: all about integrity of the case and knowing that a 310 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: lawyer is gonna look for that little chink and he's 311 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna say, well, didn't you tell so and so this, 312 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: and and then that's just it runs that piece of evidence. 313 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: So we're really skeptical about releasing in depth information. It's 314 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: not that we're trying to hide anything from Pope. We 315 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: just don't want to lose the case. It's a two 316 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: edged sword. We want to get it out where we 317 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: can get help. But then if you give it out, 318 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: it costs you an end. So then we're like in 319 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: a two pronged thing that were like how much what 320 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: do you tell? What do you say? I mean, in 321 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: that same lack of ding it would help, but then 322 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: it runs it at the end. I'm not the best 323 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 1: at at what I do. I strive to be, and 324 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: I probably don't know everything I should and shouldn't release, 325 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: but I try to be as open to the public 326 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: as I can, and they expect me to be knowledgeable 327 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: enough to know if I'm gonna cost the case in 328 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: the end to lose it, and that loses their respect 329 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: to me for that, so then I have to weigh 330 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: out all those options. So it's rough sometimes. Since they're 331 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: still considering this an open investigation, how will we ever 332 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: know if they're doing the things that John Dawes says 333 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: that they should be doing. How are we supposed to 334 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: know if they're actually looking at things, if they're actually 335 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: talking to people Are they reinterviewing witnesses? Are they actually 336 00:17:50,680 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: doing something? I think the case of fallible yes have 337 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: a father. I don't know, I can't. I think we 338 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: missed our chance. I think the Lord Evin this has 339 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: been Disapperiod. Remember the guy whose name has been censored 340 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: throughout the podcast here is We got hold of him, 341 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: but again he asked us not to use his name. 342 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: He told us the story about one of the persons 343 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: of interest in this case, Jason. Him and Melissa was 344 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: dating at the time, and they tried depinion on him. 345 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: But I don't think he done it. Do you know 346 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: that was his baby, don't you? To recap Jason Walker 347 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: is the supposed father of Melissa's child and immediately a 348 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: target of suspicion. But according to the story that this 349 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: family member told us, somebody he knew corroborated Jason's alibi. 350 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: That night she was at a MC and she went 351 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: and knew Jason walked through either history would dating and that, 352 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: and she says she was at his house that morning 353 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: she felt in his trunk in the hood was cold, 354 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: so he didn't drive that truck to night. He trusted 355 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: that person enough to believe it couldn't be chasing. After 356 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: a while, he began to express the series on who 357 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: may be responsible and told us some findings of his own. 358 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: We was all set up to have a lot to 359 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: text or tests, and the woman's decided they wasn't gonna 360 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: have it, and we didn't have it.

If that baby had been born, that would 402 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: have brought the Walkers into the state. The Wiemans wouldn't 403 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: have been divided up. If White was in our death 404 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: dead anyway, and the Whitemans was in financial trouble or 405 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: that point the finger as the man from America most 406 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: woman told me, he followed the money, and you get 407 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: the criminals full five million dollars two til Nature's land 408 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: once you stop house running, ding the beach on the ocean. 409 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: From the outside, it may not appear that the Wideman 410 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: inheritance was exceptionally large, but according to him, when it 411 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: was broken down, it amounted to four or five million dollars. 412 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot with Kendrick and the 413 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: way I was together. They've been seen going through parties 414 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: in Ferordo and limousines and things like ball games and 415 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: things like that.

I thank you 431 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: that Taylor enforcement but be enforced did let him do nothing. 432 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: And he's retired in Jacksonville. For it cost me five 433 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: dollars for him to come up here and ride and 434 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: thought Randy candidates and go back. And then he said, 435 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, if I can't get a piece of information, 436 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: let's start on and if he put us out of 437 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: the word, don't talk at about it. The ain't nothing 438 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: I can do. I'll be wasting your money. So that 439 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: mysterious phone call we played last episode, we shared it 440 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: with this individual, turns out ten years earlier, he'd heard 441 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: a similar story from the same person. He's a good 442 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: possibility for he's saying, they said that the truth to 443 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: its very possible to have that way, just without all 444 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: the details.

Not many years after these murders took place. 452 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: The key player in the story died in a car wreck, 453 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: but according to the story, other even more important players 454 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: are still alive. I think they wrote a lot of 455 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: things off then. I don't know what they had lives on, 456 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: or they had their lives focused on it. To give 457 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: the g B.

Who will 463 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: never probably never taught speak of it. They were good 464 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: friends with this chick wideman I believe hired the people 465 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: that murdered those people that murdered him and burned the house. 466 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: It's a hell of a story.

He were the alibi that night for the 470 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: prime suspect in the murder case. Do you understand what 471 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm telling you? They were his only alibi. Our producer 472 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: Pain received that phone call a year ago when we 473 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: started this warn investigation.
