00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.199
Hey, folks, welcome back. Do we have some topics to
2
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.559
cover today in the world of crime news. In Louisiana,
3
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.120
the central figure in the documentary The Devilwares Dunks is
4
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.079
arrested on ten counts of rape, ten counts of extortion,
5
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.560
in four counts of sexual battery. In Massachusetts, a cop
6
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.520
on cop chuting leads to a highly publicized trial and
7
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.880
an acquittal for Kelsey Fitzsimmons. In Florida, golfer Tiger Woods
8
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:52.840
continues his issues with dwi's after another arrest. In Houston,
9
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.960
a suspect in the Lover's Lane killings is arrested, and
10
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.600
we got some great news that has drawn as the
11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.439
infamous California two sucker is arrested as well. Actually he
12
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.840
was sentenced Kelly, and Kelly sent me that story.
13
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:11.760
It was a touching.
14
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.120
Literally, Well, we're going to cover all of that. We
15
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.560
got all that plus much more coming your way today. So,
16
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:21.760
first of all, welcome to Crime Wire Weekly.
17
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.680
I'm Jim Chapman and I am Kelly.
18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.959
Jenny and Kelly, you were so kind as to have
19
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.799
wished everyone a happy Easter last week, just giving him
20
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.840
a little heads up, if you will, So I'm going
21
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.359
to send that sentiment today and tell everybody Happy Easter.
22
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.280
And if you're watching the video version of this podcast
23
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.920
on Patreon, you know that we have the studio decorated.
24
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.040
I am wearing my Easter best and even my Easter colors.
25
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.879
And you'll have to see what Kelly's wearing.
26
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.359
Well, listen, you have to see it.
27
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.439
It's very eastery.
28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.159
I have got my leopard leggings on and.
29
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.560
She didn't get the memo and my black.
30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.719
Unspeakable T shirt with an LSU sweatshirt.
31
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:08.120
Yep.
32
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.719
And if they say dressed for the job you want,
33
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:13.680
not the job you have, I am dressed for being homeless.
34
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.520
Well there you go. And and so she did not
35
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.560
get the memo. And it was funny when she came
36
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.960
in today. I'm like, dude, it's the Easter episode and
37
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.919
you're not dressed for Easter. But I actually never told
38
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.240
her anything about it, so to be fair, Jim Chapman
39
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:29.960
dropped the ball.
40
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.840
Well. I have a heart of gold, though, so please
41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:33.479
see my heart.
42
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.560
Yes, all right, let's get into what is has been
43
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.240
an active week of crying, to say the least, And
44
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.680
we're gonna start off right here in denim Springs, Louisiana.
45
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.599
Ricky Foster, the central figure in a documentary titled The
46
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.840
Devil Wears Dunks, was arrested Tuesday on multiple felony charges.
47
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.120
This included rape, sexual battery, in extortion. Foster, who is
48
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.080
forty six of Denham Springs, was taken into custody by
49
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.639
the Livingston Pears Sheriff's Office with the assistants from the
50
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:15.280
Denham Springs Marshall's Office. Shout out Calvin Bowden and Marshall Joemack.
51
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.120
Ricky is being held without bond at the Livingston Parish
52
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.080
Detention Center. He's charged with ten counts of third degree rape,
53
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.400
four counts of sexual battery, and ten counts of extortion. Now,
54
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.439
these charges stem from allegations by a victim who was
55
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.680
in a romantic relationship with Foster. This is from January
56
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.439
to August of twenty twenty three. The woman told detectives
57
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.120
that during that time, Foster secretly took out more than
58
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.759
seventy thousand dollars in credit card loans and cash advances
59
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.719
in her name without her knowledge or her consent. She
60
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.840
further alleged that Foster coerced her into performing sexual acts
61
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.680
on multiple occasions. Telling her he would not repaid the
62
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:06.319
fraudulent debt unless she complied. These acts allegedly occurred without
63
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.800
her consent. LPSO Sheriff Jason Ard said in a statement,
64
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.759
contact was made with the victim, who stated she was
65
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.000
in a relationship with Ricky Foster during that time. She
66
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.120
revealed on numerous occasions, without her consent, that she was
67
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.720
forced to perform sexual acts with Foster. Sheffard also added quote,
68
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.120
we also believe more victims are out there. I'm asking
69
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.480
you to come forward and work with detectives now. Foster
70
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.319
became known in the Denham Springs area as the driving
71
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.199
force behind Dads of Denim and Dads of Denham two
72
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.519
point zero, the former being a popular Denim Springs High
73
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.439
School tailgate where he and other members would encourage community
74
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.639
involvement by offering free posteliah. The Dads of Denham two
75
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:57.720
point zero was a large scale fundraiser type deal that
76
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.720
was organized by Ricky and primarily this dealt with car shows,
77
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:09.279
and he would allegedly help coordinate these fundraisers. In one instance,
78
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.279
in twenty twenty two, there was a fire that destroyed
79
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.000
the Live Junior High School gymnasium and they did a fundraiser,
80
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.160
and questions later surfaced as to the handling of some
81
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.000
two thousand dollars in donations. Now, Foster is the primary
82
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.560
subject of The Devil Wares Donk, a documentary which examines
83
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:36.040
allegations of financial manipulation, fabricated multi million dollar business deals,
84
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.839
and questionable charity practices. The series, which is currently on
85
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.720
episode three, has gone through nearly four million views on YouTube,
86
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.079
and was sparked when Foster attempted to hustle Jeremy Green,
87
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:56.720
who was a multi millionaire CEO of samples. They sell
88
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.639
rare shoe brands. These are sample of like Nike shoes
89
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.240
and things of that nature types and stuff dude types. Yeah,
90
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.879
and they sell these online and they go for fifteen
91
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.800
twenty thousand dollars a pair. And this guy is no
92
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.519
joke and very legit. Allegedly, Foster attempted to partner with
93
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.079
Green's company and he attempted to hustle Green on a
94
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.240
fifteen million dollar deal. Green took this personally launched an
95
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.480
investigation into Foster, which uncovered a ton of horrific things
96
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.839
that I can't even attempt to get into because it
97
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.959
would take up the whole podcast. What I can say
98
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.800
is I knew Ricky. Ricky has been in this very
99
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.680
studio I'm recording him right now, And it did not
100
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.279
take me long to know Ricky before. I knew one
101
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.920
thing for sure, and that was Ricky was a freaking
102
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:55.519
shyster and as Tupac would say, fake money. So personally,
103
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.560
I'm glad to see he is now right where he
104
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.240
belonged in jail.
105
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.480
So obviously tons of charges here, but let's let's go
106
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.439
back to the heart of things here as far as
107
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.360
I'm concerned, because again, like we've said, this is a
108
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.920
very local case. You know, I taught at Denim Springs
109
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.199
High School. I'm a huge fan of that school, and
110
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.199
they they work very hard to not only teach these kids,
111
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.720
but to love them. And so this group steps up
112
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.160
this Dad's of Denim, and their whole premise was that
113
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.720
not every kid has the support at home of a dad,
114
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.079
but they should all feel supported and loved and cared for.
115
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:35.879
And so it's a genuinely awesome community effort to cook
116
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.439
for the kids, to tailgate, to support them before their
117
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.800
their football games, and really, I just thought it was
118
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.800
the coolest thing, you know it, and not to.
119
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.319
Cut you off. But I do want to say this
120
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319
because it's important. There were other members of that of
121
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.920
that Hellgate that are really good people. All of them
122
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.759
were no idea all this shit was going on with Ricky.
123
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:57.720
They knew he was full of shit most of the time,
124
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.959
but they had no idea, no that it was to
125
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.920
any sort of level like it has become. Right.
126
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.160
He just kind of seemed to weasel his way in
127
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319
because it, I guess it made him feel good to
128
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.639
be part of this group that had good intentions. But
129
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.839
then he took those good intentions and spawned into something,
130
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.600
you know, not so good. But to have someone come
131
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.800
in and and do fundraisers and all that under the
132
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:25.639
premise that you're going to be helping community, and really
133
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.639
all you're doing is line to everybody's face, and then
134
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.199
the money is questionable and what happens. That's the worst
135
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.879
kind of word of criminal in my opinion. I know
136
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.960
this is all alleged right now, but there's also talk
137
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.559
about him possibly. I know that there was a report
138
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.759
written that I saw where Saint Jude was involved in
139
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.759
that he was supposed to be donating money to Saint
140
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.120
Jude that never got there. Now that's all allegedly that's
141
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.039
obviously not be There was a there.
142
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:58.679
Was a police investigation, yeah, on that. And what his
143
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.360
excuse for that was, he said the cost to put
144
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.799
on that event superseded the donations received for the event.
145
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.440
Right, So obviously you're not very good at putting on
146
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.039
events because you would hopefully have you know.
147
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.480
Well, if you believe that story, well yeah, I mean.
148
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.559
Sure, right, but yeah, so and then we're gonna add
149
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.200
on top of your Okay, so you're swindling around kids.
150
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.200
And I remember Jim and I both we would go
151
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.320
to the football games because we have children that went there.
152
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.720
And I remember us looking at each other one day
153
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.399
when he was walking up and down the sidelines. Do
154
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.759
you remember that? And we kind of elbow each other,
155
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.200
like who does he think he is? Because he thought
156
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.120
he was like a local celebrity or something. But everybody
157
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.559
that you speak to pretty much seems to have the
158
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.720
same vibe about this guy, that he was a shisty swindler.
159
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.759
And then you fafo would a millionaire a multi multi millionaire?
160
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.279
Yep, and uh, And he wasn't gonna let it go.
161
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.320
He wasn't gonna let it go.
162
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.960
He took it personal and these guys are from California,
163
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.919
and uh they're used to kind of chasing these things
164
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.519
down and exposing them. They don't give it. I don't
165
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.399
give a shit. They got Ricky and this guy felt
166
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.559
offended that Ricky tried to do what he did and
167
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.720
he went after So.
168
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.960
Go watch that. Where can they find it? Jim the
169
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.559
Double who can YouTube?
170
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.120
Just go to YouTube and type in the Devilwar's donks?
171
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.039
Are you gonna put a link on our show page
172
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.639
on Facebook?
173
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.840
If? Yeah? Likely? If I can, if I think about it,
174
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.720
But if not, it's real eazy got a YouTube and
175
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.399
just type it in. It's worth a while, very easily.
176
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.759
All right, Let's go to Houston, where a sixty four
177
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.120
year old man has been charged with capital murder in
178
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.480
the brutal nineteen ninety double homicide of a young couple
179
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.759
whose bodies were found near a wooded area off of
180
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:42.200
Enclave Parkway Parkway, a case that haunted Houston for nearly
181
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.000
thirty six years and became known as the quote Lover's
182
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.279
Lane murders. Floyd William Parrott was arrested Wednesday night by
183
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.080
an FBI swat team in Lincoln, Nebraska. He faces capital
184
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.159
murder charges and the deaths of twenty two year old
185
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:59.159
Cheryl Henry and twenty one year old Garland Andy Atkinson.
186
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.559
The coup was last seen leaving Bay U Mama's, which
187
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.679
was a nightclub in West Houston, on the night of
188
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.960
August twenty second, nineteen ninety. Their bodies were discovered the
189
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.080
next day in a secluded wooded area near Enclave Parkway.
190
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.600
Both of them had been shot. Henry was found partially
191
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.759
undressed and bound, while Atkinson was discovered nearby. The case
192
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.639
quickly became or became famous and gained notoriety because of
193
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.759
its location, which was the popular Lover's Lane spot, and
194
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.600
the lack of immediate leads. For decades, the killings remained
195
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.360
unsolved despite extensive investigation by Houston Police and the Harris
196
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.919
County District Attorney's office. A breakthrough came earlier this month
197
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.000
when advanced DNA evidence and genetic genealogy linked Parrot to
198
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.840
the crime scene. Harris County District Attorney Seawan Terr said
199
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.759
that on Friday at a news conference that Parrot is
200
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.000
believed to have impersonated a police officer around the time
201
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.879
of the murders and may have driven a fake patrol car.
202
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.240
Terror urged anyone with information about Parrot's activities in the
203
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.360
Houston area during the early nineteen nineties to come forward,
204
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.840
noting that authorities suspect that he could be linked to
205
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.879
numerous different types of crimes and possibly additional victims. All right, So,
206
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.440
family members of the victims expressed a mix of relief
207
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.080
and grief following the arrest. Today is a good day.
208
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:20.120
One relative told reporters, We've waited thirty six years for this.
209
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.960
Houston Chief Police Chief Troy Finner called the arrest a
210
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.759
testament to the persistence of our cold case team and
211
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.519
the power of modern forensic science. The investigation remains active
212
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.480
as authorities continue to examine whether Parrot is connected to
213
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.159
other unsolved cases in the area. So I'll tell you
214
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.519
this too. I met C. C. Moore, you know, the
215
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.200
famous genetic genealogists, and she put on an amazing presentation
216
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.960
one day, and one day when I went to, like
217
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.480
I said, a conference, and that genetic genealogy is going
218
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.320
to start solving some cold cases.
219
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.559
You can bet yeah. Is that what pretty much solved
220
00:12:59.559 --> 00:12:59.960
this one?
221
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.360
Yeah? And so basically what happens is they can actually
222
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:10.440
take DNA, and they can work backwards and try to
223
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.399
figure out that they can figure out like who your
224
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.840
familiar relatives are, so like they have DNA, they can
225
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.320
figure out a grandpa, a grandma, a cousin, and then
226
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.919
they can kind of work backwards through the genealogy to
227
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.519
figure out who well.
228
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.960
They can if that person has turned in their DNA,
229
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.080
the grandmother, grandfather, those sorts of things. I think with
230
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.039
genetic DNA, the way that they're able to trace that
231
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.000
stuff back is a grandma or a cousin might do one, two,
232
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.440
three and me, and so there's a record up there
233
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.000
the DNA somewhere. Yeah, there's a database, but there's a
234
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.600
lot of people that have never turned their DNA in.
235
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.720
They haven't been arrested or anything to where they you know,
236
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.200
some states have it where when you're arrested you have
237
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.840
to turn over your DNA or when you're convicted of something,
238
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.399
so obviously they would have to have somebody in that
239
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.000
family's DNA already on record. That's how Brown Coburger got court.
