Speaker 1: My reactions are slow. I feel like I'm underwater. Is
Speaker 1: this happening? I keep looking around, expecting to wake up.
Speaker 1: That would be great to wake up and realize this
Speaker 1: whole thing is a dream, one big, long, bad dream.
Speaker 1: But that is not reality. This is life, real life
Speaker 1: in my face. I can't run and hide this time,
Speaker 1: not like I usually do. I looked down and see
Speaker 1: my gun. Something in my head tells me to grab it.
Speaker 1: You might need it later on down the road, my
Speaker 1: trusty buddy. When I feel weak my strength, when I
Speaker 1: feel scared, I grab it and run. I try to
Speaker 1: clear the guardrail and have to stumble over at one
Speaker 1: leg at a time. I only get about twenty ft.
Speaker 1: When I sent a presents to my right, I turn
Speaker 1: and lift my arm to show them my gun. As
Speaker 1: my arm straightens, I fell fire, a line of heat,
Speaker 1: pressing my body down. I dropped to a ground in
Speaker 1: a fetal position. All I know is pain. It's a
Speaker 1: stream finding its way all over my body, then returning
Speaker 1: to my leg. I think I'm making noise, but I
Speaker 1: can't hear much. I thrash around, trying to escape the pain,
Speaker 1: breathing hard, gasping for breath. I feel fire again and again.
Speaker 1: Where is it? Where am I hit? I know it
Speaker 1: is my lower body, but I can't bring my head
Speaker 1: level to see it. I roll onto my back and
Speaker 1: lift my head. There is blood, a fair amount of blood.
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Docherty Gang, a production of I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio and Katie Studios, Episode eight. She's obviously not dead.
Speaker 1: I'm Courtney Armstrong, a crime producer at Katie Studios with
Speaker 1: Stephanie Lydecker. We've been working with producer Beth Greenwald on
Speaker 1: The Docherty Gang for months now. These three siblings have
Speaker 1: agreed to tell their story for the very first time,
Speaker 1: each from separate prisons. Lee Grace Dockerty is at the
Speaker 1: Federal Correction Institute Aliceville in Alabama. Ryan Docherty is in
Speaker 1: the U S Penitentiary Tucson in Arizona, and Dylan Docherty
Speaker 1: is at the Federal Correction Institute in Bennettsville, South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Let's call us in a try and get out, can't
Speaker 1: get out of my door, try and kick my window.
Speaker 1: Grace and Dylan were already out of the car, and
Speaker 1: then we're trying to get to the firearms that are
Speaker 1: in the rear, in the trunk of the trunk has
Speaker 1: already been ripped open. It's already scattered a bunch of guns.
Speaker 1: One of the AMMO boxes, I think, crunch one of
Speaker 1: the a ks, like one of the a ks. You
Speaker 1: see it spread out on the inter state. In August tenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand eleven, the Docherties reached the end of their adventure.
Speaker 1: After a shootout with police, a bank heist, and across
Speaker 1: country chase, the law finally caught up with the trio
Speaker 1: on Colorado's Highway. Reaching speeds of up to a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty miles per hour, their white Subaru flipped over
Speaker 1: and landed nose first onto a highway guard rail. No
Speaker 1: one in the car. I was wearing a seatbelt. Ryan
Speaker 1: and Dylan explain what happened after the wreck. It's literally
Speaker 1: threw me out of the vehicle. When we rolled over.
Speaker 1: There was a gun that broke over, you know, the
Speaker 1: stock of a gun broken, you know, because I was
Speaker 1: holding onto it. You know, I had no shoes on it.
Speaker 1: I was barefoot. You know. That's that's another thing. Whenever
Speaker 1: you get hit by a car for some reaching, your
Speaker 1: shoes come flying off. Ryan wasn't thinking clearly, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: try and use the car to keep it between me
Speaker 1: and the police. And I'm gonna try and shoot it
Speaker 1: out right down the street because I really don't want
Speaker 1: to go to prison. I'd rather just die in the
Speaker 1: street than go to prison for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: And I told him, as the man, we need a car,
Speaker 1: bro I'll grab us a car. And I had my
Speaker 1: own mental plans in my head and I was waiting
Speaker 1: on the car. Really, my first reaction after that type
Speaker 1: of rollover car accident is obviously to get out of
Speaker 1: the car, because you're such a taste clarity escape. You
Speaker 1: want to be on to put your feeble solid ground.
Speaker 1: And when I got out, something just told me just
Speaker 1: to reach for my done. It was between my ankle,
Speaker 1: and I pulled it up and I put it on.
Speaker 1: The kind of told it to me, and then I
Speaker 1: out of the vehicle. This all happened literally inside it
Speaker 1: just I kind of rolled out of the vehicle and
Speaker 1: I was looking for Jill and Ryan. Ryan just takes
Speaker 1: off as it is he sees that we're okay, and
Speaker 1: you know, I honestly I thought there was a chair
Speaker 1: to thinking away. Obviously there was a lot of officers
Speaker 1: and but you know we had gotten away in Florida.
Speaker 1: Former Wallsonburgh police Chief Jim Chamberlain was one of the
Speaker 1: first to confront the Doughertyes. The driver got out and
Speaker 1: he started running, and I believe that was Ryan. I'm
Speaker 1: the youngest. So I got out of my patrol car
Speaker 1: and went around the back, jumped over the guard rail,
Speaker 1: went down the embankment, kind of running after him. First,
Speaker 1: I yelled at him, stop police. He was in a
Speaker 1: full sprint. I could see both hands. It didn't look
Speaker 1: like he had a gun on him, so I was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I guess he's gone. So I turned to look and
Speaker 1: that's when I said Lee Grace coming down the embankment
Speaker 1: and she had something in her hands, and at that
Speaker 1: time I couldn't really tell what it was. So I
Speaker 1: was just running and I felt a presence or I
Speaker 1: heard a noise behind me, and I just turned and
Speaker 1: I just, for some reason something just told me, you know,
Speaker 1: get this cough away from you. I've heard something. I
Speaker 1: don't remember exactly what he said. I'm sure he was
Speaker 1: stop freeze, I'm going to shoot. And I just raised
Speaker 1: up my gun to him too, getting him away for
Speaker 1: me to push him away, do you know, to war him,
Speaker 1: Dylan crawled around to the rear of the car. I
Speaker 1: was trying to climb into the back of the car
Speaker 1: and the trunk of the car. You know, I had
Speaker 1: no shoes, so I was trying to get a pair
Speaker 1: of shoes out of the trunk of the car. And
Speaker 1: once I've heard them, and I was like looking over
Speaker 1: the edge of that, you know. You know, the trunk
Speaker 1: was really high in the air too, and I was
Speaker 1: wondering why my arm wasn't working. I kept trying to
Speaker 1: grab the trunk and like kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: voice myself up, you know, reach into the trunk on
Speaker 1: my right arm, which just wasn't really there wasn't a
Speaker 1: lot of movement that in it. And I remember looking
Speaker 1: up that lawn rampanty and I remember one of them
Speaker 1: had a twelve gage Have you ever looked at a
Speaker 1: twelve gage barrel? But it's it's you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: about the side of your thumb, you know, in diameter.
Speaker 1: And the other one had I think one of them
Speaker 1: had a a r kid leeen. Another one had a
Speaker 1: what's called mini fourteen whist, you know, a ruger, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of like assault rifle. I was looking at the
Speaker 1: stuff those gun barrels, and they were coming down the thing.
Speaker 1: They were stringing it up like, oh my ground, weren't
Speaker 1: blow your bodies back down? Well. A group of officers
Speaker 1: were focused on Dylan. Chief Chamberlain set his sights. Only
Speaker 1: Grace had my gun out. UM started focusing on her. Um.
Speaker 1: She was doing so many with her hands that looked
Speaker 1: like to me, she was trying to get the action
Speaker 1: of a gun. Talked back to start shooting, yelled at her.
Speaker 1: Police dropped the gun, Police dropped the gun, Police dropped
Speaker 1: the gun. And the third time I said that, she
Speaker 1: looked up at me and stopped and spread her legs
Speaker 1: a little bit. Started reason the gun that she had
Speaker 1: towards me, and I fired two rounds at her, hit her.
Speaker 1: She spun around, dropped the gun and fell on the ground.
Speaker 1: So I started moving up on her because she still
Speaker 1: had the gun next to her, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I'm shot. I'm just rolling around like an animal. It's
Speaker 1: extreme pain, like hot fire poker. It's just throw my
Speaker 1: leg and I'm just screaming, and you know, I can
Speaker 1: kind of sense my brother dealing close to me. But
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out where he got. The other
Speaker 1: brother was by the trunk. He kept looking in the
Speaker 1: trunk for something, so I told him get out of
Speaker 1: the trunk, get on the ground, and he kind of
Speaker 1: looked at me over his shoulder, but I still had
Speaker 1: my gun pointed at his sister because she still had
Speaker 1: the gun next to her. Then I heard the shot,
Speaker 1: and I heard the grace kind of like collar and
Speaker 1: screaming it, and I got right back up off the ground,
Speaker 1: looked up at him again, told him to get on
Speaker 1: the ground. He turned, got down on his knees, looked
Speaker 1: over and saw where his sister was stood up and
Speaker 1: started walking towards her. And that's when I transitioned my
Speaker 1: gun from her to him and told him to get
Speaker 1: on the ground, put his face on the pavement where
Speaker 1: I'll shoot him too, But Dylan defied the police. Once
Speaker 1: I got up, I walked over to the other side
Speaker 1: of the on ramp, you know, like to from one
Speaker 1: guard rail to the other, and I looked over down
Speaker 1: the hill and Lee Race was there, and she was
Speaker 1: kind of like rolling around on the ground and she
Speaker 1: was given the offense and Navy salute of sorts and
Speaker 1: she was like holding her butt and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: unless she's holding her button pussing at the guy, so
Speaker 1: she's obviously not dead. The whole time they were screaming
Speaker 1: at me to get down, and I kind of like
Speaker 1: blocked out that with their verbal assault on me, and
Speaker 1: then I kind of like I turned and started looking
Speaker 1: back up the eggs a ramp at the officers and
Speaker 1: once to and I started here and there directives to
Speaker 1: get down on the ground. And by this point they
Speaker 1: had closed the distance and they were maybe andy year
Speaker 1: sixte me away. You know, they weren't real close, but
Speaker 1: they were close enough for me to have seen them.
Speaker 1: And at that point I was just like, man, I said, well,
Speaker 1: I said, I really don't want to die heart kind
Speaker 1: of the road ground. I went down to just drop
Speaker 1: down on my knees and then kind of just sort
Speaker 1: of fell forward on the ground, and you know, the
Speaker 1: name rushed up on me and go with about in
Speaker 1: chief Chamberlayne ran over to Lee Grace and then I
Speaker 1: asked her to re hit. He said yes. I asked
Speaker 1: her where she said in the hip. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking. There's no gushing blood or anything, so
Speaker 1: I grabbed her, turn her over handcuffer, and while I'm
Speaker 1: handcuffing her, I looked up and I saw it like
Speaker 1: seven or eight law enforcement officers up on top of
Speaker 1: the overpass or not the overpass, but beyond ramp, and
Speaker 1: they were all, you know, rifles and shotguns and tacked
Speaker 1: to all vests and stuff. And I'm like, well, I
Speaker 1: know over half those guys, so hopefully I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get shocked. Right is gone? Ryan just takes off like
Speaker 1: running through this feel all I see is like just
Speaker 1: coming up behind him with his boots. I think Dylan
Speaker 1: had injuries. He had a fractured arm or fractured although
Speaker 1: maybe his arm was broken. I just see Ryan to
Speaker 1: take off just like a rocket, and he's just falling
Speaker 1: off of these work boots, and then he's gone. He
Speaker 1: just disappeared. He ran so fast across that field. And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I'm on the right with
Speaker 1: under screaming in pain. And that was just the situation.
Speaker 1: Everything happened so fast. It was like a dream. You know,
Speaker 1: you're movie, but you don't person his control of your
Speaker 1: limbs and I sure we're looking for the sky is
Speaker 1: being covered with her Chief Chamberlain was on vacation that day,
Speaker 1: but when he heard the Docerts were shooting at officers,
Speaker 1: he joined the pursuit, and with fourteen years on the forest,
Speaker 1: it was only the second time in the line of
Speaker 1: duty that he had fired a gun. So I went
Speaker 1: from thinking that I was just going to be back
Speaker 1: up to oh, crept, there they all are, no vest
Speaker 1: I was in a T shirt and jeans, nothing really
Speaker 1: that I identified me as a police officer. Meanwhile, Ryan
Speaker 1: fled across a four lane highway. I remember seeing my
Speaker 1: sister gets shot, not like her whole body, I just
Speaker 1: happened to remember, like from her lower body. I remember
Speaker 1: seeing like the front of her jeans, like a puff
Speaker 1: of the material of the jenes Un. And all this
Speaker 1: is as I jumped over the side of the guard rail.
Speaker 1: And then there was a barbed wire fence like about
Speaker 1: eight or ten feet away from there, and I ran
Speaker 1: fast as they could. But I knew I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: be you know, I don't have mad hops. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to clear the top of this barb
Speaker 1: wire fence. I superman threw it. Ryan had no idea
Speaker 1: that Dylan was in custody, and he was determined to
Speaker 1: follow Dylan's plan. I try and run for a gas
Speaker 1: station that's across the street, because they have cars sitting
Speaker 1: there and like some of them look like they're still
Speaker 1: running because it's a little called out in the exhausted
Speaker 1: coming out, and I don't see anybody in the car,
Speaker 1: so I'm in assuming that what they did is had
Speaker 1: their car on pulled up to the gas station. It's
Speaker 1: a kind of Poe dunk enough area to where the
Speaker 1: people are still trusty enough to leave their keys in
Speaker 1: car running, go inside, grab a pack of smokes and
Speaker 1: the drink, and come back and get back in their
Speaker 1: car and leave. So I'm going to go snap someone's
Speaker 1: car because ours is come back around the interstate exit,
Speaker 1: run over whoever I have to run over and pick
Speaker 1: up my brother and sister. Ryan did not count on
Speaker 1: the bravery of some ordinary citizens who just happened to
Speaker 1: see him. Here's one of them, David Vostitch. He ran
Speaker 1: towards this little diner that was that's just right off
Speaker 1: the highway there by a truck stop, and I just
Speaker 1: happened to be coming down this other road. I had
Speaker 1: my mom in the truck with me, and we come
Speaker 1: down the road there and there was this guy standing
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road right in front of me,
Speaker 1: and I noticed there was a bunch of people outside
Speaker 1: the diner, and I slowed way down, and this guy
Speaker 1: tried to open up the door when I drove by
Speaker 1: on my truck. Ryan continues, one of the cars that
Speaker 1: I've seen, like a nice little markety Grand Marquis. I
Speaker 1: fucking like old lady goes and gets into our fucking car,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, ship, I can't you know, I still
Speaker 1: have screw booth. I'm like, funk, I can't dump this
Speaker 1: lady out onto our face to get her car, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I just kept running because
Speaker 1: they seemed like a little Honda that was across the street,
Speaker 1: park right in front of the fucking Dominoes, and you know,
Speaker 1: look like I had exhaust make bone out of it.
Speaker 1: David picks up the story. So I told my mom,
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know what's going on. We ain't
Speaker 1: gonna have nothing to this. So I spun around there
Speaker 1: and I noticed people were chased him across the road.
Speaker 1: Then I don't know what come over me. I just
Speaker 1: you know, I saw a couple of guys were chasing him,
Speaker 1: and I thought I jumped out of the truck and
Speaker 1: went after. I thought the guy robbed a diner. It
Speaker 1: wasn't very long when I caught up to him, because
Speaker 1: when he fun around and he acted like he had
Speaker 1: a gun in his hands right there, I was already
Speaker 1: jumping over a fence going after him. And that's when
Speaker 1: he tried to take that shortcut through that pawn in there.
Speaker 1: I remember telling him, don't go down in there, and
Speaker 1: he went down through there, and I told him, you're
Speaker 1: fucking idiot. I remember that now we're running through that stuff,
Speaker 1: because when he was gonna go down in there, I
Speaker 1: think he thought that that was just a pawn and
Speaker 1: he was gonna just get out there in the middle
Speaker 1: of the pond and not letting anybody get to him.
Speaker 1: And then he just sunk because he turned and got
Speaker 1: right out of it right away, and that's when he
Speaker 1: drove off down in the brush there, and and then
Speaker 1: that was when I was right on him. When he
Speaker 1: got out of that brush, I was right there on him.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break here. We'll be
Speaker 1: back in a moment. Producer Beth Greenwall to speaks with Ryan.
Speaker 1: How long were you running for? Do you think four minutes? Maybe?
Speaker 1: And did you have to go through any brush? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Actually fucking ran through like a bullshit, like a spill
Speaker 1: over pepe of pond for like sucking cows and ship
Speaker 1: and like just ran through some ship bramble brush fucking
Speaker 1: three four tall like sage brush, just like scrub brush shit.
Speaker 1: Here again is David Bustich. One of the guys stayed
Speaker 1: behind because he was on the phone with the dispatcher
Speaker 1: and the other guy. I don't know where he went
Speaker 1: at the time. I caught up with the guy there
Speaker 1: in the arroyo there, and when I caught up to him,
Speaker 1: I told me he's to quit running, and he told me, well,
Speaker 1: if I don't, they're gonna kill me. They're gonna kill me.
Speaker 1: I don't like nobody's gonna kill you. But you don't
Speaker 1: need you know. I told him, you didn't need to
Speaker 1: scare my mom in the truck like he did, trying
Speaker 1: to jerk the door open and stuff. And the other
Speaker 1: guy was yelling at me, you just need to take
Speaker 1: him down, just take him down. You need to catch him.
Speaker 1: So I just brought him to the ground right there,
Speaker 1: and he put up a little fight and I was
Speaker 1: able to hold him down on the ground there and
Speaker 1: he kind of just gave up. Then he said, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm done. Runned. Ryan was covered in sewage from the pond,
Speaker 1: and he was exhausted. As I was running from the
Speaker 1: bushes from here to there, I kind of smoked out.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not a fantastic tat conditioning or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fucking runner at heart, and like the
Speaker 1: adrenaline only pushes you so far and then your body
Speaker 1: mackes out so like slowed to like a slow trot.
Speaker 1: And some random Captain Savaho type fucking weirdo people tried
Speaker 1: to like follow me, and you know, eventually I just
Speaker 1: gave up. I was like, fuck it. You know, there's
Speaker 1: not there's nothing left to do. There's nothing left here
Speaker 1: to do. Here again is David Lucetich. We escorted him
Speaker 1: up out of that arroya because none of the officers
Speaker 1: could find us. We were way probably a couple miles
Speaker 1: away from from the accident by then, and we walked
Speaker 1: him out back out to the road there so they
Speaker 1: could find us. In A state patrolman finally come down
Speaker 1: the road there and he saw us out there, and
Speaker 1: we flagged him down and he came over and jumped
Speaker 1: on the guy, and the two civilions brought me to
Speaker 1: the side of the road with him, and the fucking
Speaker 1: cops and paramedics were there, and like the cops helped
Speaker 1: me pinned down with some guns. I remember him cuffing
Speaker 1: manship and kneeling on my back, on my neck and
Speaker 1: fucking drive my face into the dirt. And then remember
Speaker 1: the paramedics syn care. I remember the paramedics being like
Speaker 1: super nice to me. I'm a charming guy no matter
Speaker 1: who it is, and I'm around and I managed to
Speaker 1: charm them and and they were really nice to me
Speaker 1: and then meant a lot. That was cool. When did
Speaker 1: you realize that this guy had been on, you know,
Speaker 1: multi state chase? At this point, I didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about him. See, I live out here on a ranch
Speaker 1: and the news isn't the biggest thing to turn on
Speaker 1: in the house at the time. I had no clue
Speaker 1: who they were. I didn't even know any of that
Speaker 1: was going on. I didn't even know there was a
Speaker 1: high speed chase going on with them shooting at the officers.
Speaker 1: Me and my mom were going to run back into
Speaker 1: town and get gas for the four wheeler, so she
Speaker 1: kind of just jumped in the truck with me and
Speaker 1: we went back into town there, and it was just
Speaker 1: crazy there. I never never seen so many news vehicles
Speaker 1: in my life down here in this small little town.
Speaker 1: And I pulled into the gas station and there was
Speaker 1: news people like running up on me, and I'm like, well, gee,
Speaker 1: I don't know what this guy, you know, did and
Speaker 1: everything else, and they're all want to ask me questions
Speaker 1: and stuff. And that's when like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you want to call him, like the head of the
Speaker 1: state patrol, and I think a cb I officer came
Speaker 1: up to me and wanted to talk to me. So
Speaker 1: they pulled me into the hotel there and they put
Speaker 1: me in a room there and then they explained to
Speaker 1: me what had been going on with these people and stuff.
Speaker 1: Then I was just sitting there kind of like all
Speaker 1: in shock, like wow, okay, this just happened. Chief Jim
Speaker 1: Chamberlain picks up the story. The state troopers got over
Speaker 1: there and assisted as well to get him handcuffed, even
Speaker 1: though he turned around a couple of times and made
Speaker 1: a motion like he had a gun, but they didn't
Speaker 1: see a gun, so they took him into custody and
Speaker 1: troopers got him and then they loaded him up into
Speaker 1: an ambulance and took him to the hospital with Ryan
Speaker 1: and custody. The chase was finally over. I wanted to
Speaker 1: let you know we've got our crime senior and route
Speaker 1: to the fifty two right now. We also Colorado City, Okay.
Speaker 1: Former Colorado FBI agent Phil Nidringhouse was assigned to the
Speaker 1: Dockerty case. When they landed in Colorado, the FBI radar
Speaker 1: room told me that they had said, you know, shots fired,
Speaker 1: pursued happening, and then they updated me and said that
Speaker 1: vehicle crash and all free in custody. At that point
Speaker 1: I got on the phone and I was talking to
Speaker 1: my boss and he said, well, whyn't you just keep
Speaker 1: going and go down there and see what you can
Speaker 1: do to help out and handle the media stuff down there.
Speaker 1: A fleet of flashing lights ended the family affair for
Speaker 1: the Doherty gang because they were taken into custody Wednesday
Speaker 1: and put low Colorado. We continuously said that these three
Speaker 1: fugitives wanted a battle with law enforcement. We will win
Speaker 1: that battle and that's what happened today. Ryan, Dylan, and
Speaker 1: Lee Grace Dockerty were all arrested and brought to a
Speaker 1: local hospital. Here's Dylan. They were dragging me out of
Speaker 1: there and put me on a stretcher board and took
Speaker 1: me to the hospital. And I don't really remember a
Speaker 1: lot of that. They kind of had my head to
Speaker 1: take to that. I think I was he handcuffed to it,
Speaker 1: perhaps leg shackle too. I really don't remember exactly what
Speaker 1: all restraints they had put on me, although I was,
Speaker 1: you know, ratchet strapped into that. I think the paramics
Speaker 1: and they showed up. They probably took one look at
Speaker 1: the car and too well, he really shouldn't be up
Speaker 1: walking around, you know. I remember a nurse leaned over me,
Speaker 1: and you know, because my mom was a nurse for
Speaker 1: thirty five years, I was like, sweete, better cover your ears.
Speaker 1: And I think she knew what I was gonna do,
Speaker 1: so she covered her ears and I yelled for Len Grayson. Ryan.
Speaker 1: You know, I just told him I loved him, and
Speaker 1: then the tops of gos shot out and you know,
Speaker 1: I'll be quiet, you know, And and but I said
Speaker 1: when I wanted to say, and they heard me and
Speaker 1: then they yelled back. It was just really weird, the
Speaker 1: whole car accident, and you know, the couples were all
Speaker 1: they were there before the dust you know, I have
Speaker 1: even finished billowing to its height, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They were there as a car crashed, and you know,
Speaker 1: some of the officers were like, man, we thought we
Speaker 1: were just coming up on some dead people in that car.
Speaker 1: And then he's like, and we get up there, you
Speaker 1: have already jumped out, you know, running in seventeen different directions,
Speaker 1: and we were fortunate. I'm not for sure on you
Speaker 1: know what the rest of my life is gonna unfold
Speaker 1: to be, but you know, I guess that we weren't
Speaker 1: meant to guy in a car accident. Let's stop here
Speaker 1: for another quick break. We'll be back in a moment.
Speaker 1: The siblings mother, Barbara Belle, told us how she felt
Speaker 1: when she found out her children were captured. I was
Speaker 1: so sure that they one of them probably had been shot,
Speaker 1: or maybe all of them, that I couldn't even walk.
Speaker 1: I crawled to the door in my filthy T shirt.
Speaker 1: And the person who ran the campground was very kind
Speaker 1: to us. He came up and said, they got him.
Speaker 1: They're all alive, and I was very relieved to hear that,
Speaker 1: but of course there was so much misinformation bandied about.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that all three of my children
Speaker 1: had been injured. My one son had a broken arm,
Speaker 1: my youngest had sprained ankle, and my daughter had been
Speaker 1: shot in the leg which barely missed her femoral artery.
Speaker 1: And I didn't find out all the details until later.
Speaker 1: I was extremely hard to find anything out from anybody
Speaker 1: because her phone was compromised. And I think I'm going
Speaker 1: to stop there on that. I can't Devastation doesn't even
Speaker 1: describe it on how I felt, and I'm sure I
Speaker 1: just I was baffled. I couldn't understand. Pascal County Sheriff
Speaker 1: Chris Naco was tracking the Docerty case from Florida. Beth
Speaker 1: spoke with him. So you surprised that they were caught alive.
Speaker 1: I mean they were still running and still trying to
Speaker 1: fight until that last moment. We all had a very
Speaker 1: strong understanding that just you know, it wasn't gonna end.
Speaker 1: He fully that we believed it was gonna be all
Speaker 1: outshoot out, which you know, officers out in Colorado had
Speaker 1: a shoot you know again they're shooting. Thank god, the
Speaker 1: officers were okay, you know, no, any loss of life
Speaker 1: is horrible, you know, no, I wants any loss of
Speaker 1: life out there. Detective Tim Harris, also from Pascal County, Florida,
Speaker 1: remembers when he got the call that the docrities were caught.
Speaker 1: When we've finally got the information that they had been apprehended,
Speaker 1: that there was a pursuit situation, that there was a shootout.
Speaker 1: We had heard that Lee Grace had gotten shot, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the wheels began to go in motion,
Speaker 1: myself and Detective Medley to fly out to Colorado because
Speaker 1: now we had all three of them in custody and
Speaker 1: our intentions were to do interviews with them to solidify
Speaker 1: or to gain evidence in our case here in Zephyr Hills.
Speaker 1: So Detective Medley and I immediately got on a plane
Speaker 1: that afternoon and we arrived out in Denver late that night,
Speaker 1: and we met with law enforcement counterparts from Weblo County
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office that we had reached out to make arrangements
Speaker 1: for us to meet up with them the next morning,
Speaker 1: which we did, and then we were able to set
Speaker 1: up the interviews from there with the three siblings and custody.
Speaker 1: The media frenzy picked right back up. Three Pasco County
Speaker 1: siblings on the run for just over a week have
Speaker 1: been captured. The Doughty Gang, Ryan, Lee, Grace, and Allan
Speaker 1: were caught this morning your Pueblo, Colorado after a high
Speaker 1: speed chase. The three were spotted at a shopping center
Speaker 1: in Colorado City this morning. Authorities say that led to
Speaker 1: a twenty mile long chase at speeds of over a
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. They finally crashed into a guardrail
Speaker 1: just south of the town of Wolfsonburg. Catasco County deputies
Speaker 1: are in Colorado. They're waiting to question the Dorty Gang
Speaker 1: and the siblings, Ryan, Dillon and Lee Grace Dorty were
Speaker 1: arrested following a cross country man hunt and chase that
Speaker 1: ended in Colorado. It wasn't quite over yet, at least
Speaker 1: not for the docherties. Their problems, in fact, were only beginning.
Speaker 1: The judge has ordered that each of the siblings be
Speaker 1: held on more than a million dollars veil. And that's
Speaker 1: just where the charges here. Remember there are also those
Speaker 1: in Florida and Georgia. If they are convicted of even
Speaker 1: one of these crimes, they could spend the rest of
Speaker 1: their young lives in prison. Things are moving fast, and
Speaker 1: Ryan Dougherty was starting to process the position he put
Speaker 1: his siblings in. They take us to the Annie jail.
Speaker 1: I thought it might have been the last time that
Speaker 1: I've seen my brother and sister, so I shouted out
Speaker 1: to him. I was like, man, I love you guys,
Speaker 1: And then fucking cops were like shut out, like man,
Speaker 1: go fuck yourself, bro, and I was like, y'all, that'sh
Speaker 1: it again. I was, I love you guys. Three Pasco
Speaker 1: County siblings, wanted in Florida and also in Georgia, are
Speaker 1: being held on one point three million dollars bond a
Speaker 1: piece in Colorado. There each charge with attempted murder and
Speaker 1: assault on a police officer. Despite all the gunfire aimed
Speaker 1: at law enforcement, fortunately no officers were hurt. As for
Speaker 1: the dorties, it remains unclear just which state we'll actually
Speaker 1: get to try them first. You know you're in trouble.
Speaker 1: You're in trouble, you're in day troll, and you know
Speaker 1: that you and your brother's I was in like a
Speaker 1: county jail, and I remember one of the jailers came
Speaker 1: and gave me like a piece of paper, just came
Speaker 1: and gave it to me to say anything is hey,
Speaker 1: this is for you, and then added it to me
Speaker 1: and left and all it said on it was my
Speaker 1: son's name and his weight and you know that he
Speaker 1: was learned and whatnots crushing. More on that next time.
