home the individual heard in today's trailer is certified POS and struggle rapper Rambo his real name is Bryce
00:07:36
Jamar rhs and that is him calling from a jail cell as he is awaiting trial and someone was dumb enough to pay $9.99
00:07:45
cents for this call and in even more bizarre Act of brazen lack of human decency and compassion for the community
00:07:53
of Louisville some nudnick put this phone call up on YouTube and posted free Bryce rhods no thank you now one does
00:08:03
not need to have too much of an imagination to understand the phrase struggle rapper but because the Urban
00:08:10
Dictionary is equal parts Brilliance and hilarity here is their definition a struggle rapper is a guy who takes
00:08:17
rapping super seriously and thinks he is amazing but his actual skills are average at best we all know a couple and
00:08:26
now unfortunately you know one more but as much as we all would like for it to be this is not a hip-hop show in fact
00:08:34
they tell me that it is a true crime show so Captain let's go back 5 years this is May of 2016 in beautiful
00:08:42
Louisville Kentucky where we have two young Brothers Living with their mom Marie Ren the boys Larry Ordway age 14
00:08:52
and Maurice Gordon age 16 had different fathers but shared a brotherly bond in a
00:08:58
close relationship with their mother they were in many respects normal kids who like to have fun and hang out with
00:09:05
their friends both boys were doing well in school at Olstead Academy North and the family was looking forward to both
00:09:13
boys' upcoming graduation from the e8th grade but instead of graduating from the
00:09:19
eth grade and moving on to bigger and better things in high school Marie would be planning their funerals on Saturday
00:09:27
May 21st according to the boy's mother Maurice and Larry left the home and they never came back but these two young men
00:09:35
they're 14 and 16 and they're hanging out with Bryce which is in his mid 20s at this point on Sunday May 22nd this is
00:09:43
around 12:30 p.m a little girl riding her bike in the shaie neighborhood of Louisville saw something awful two
00:09:51
bodies were lying in a circle of burned grass in an abandoned lot on River Park Drive near 40th Street this was not the
00:10:00
neighborhood where the boys lived with their mother to give you a flavor for the area one resident said to
00:10:07
wlk Y jelly to see the CSI truck I knew it was something a little bit more serious than just two people being shot
00:10:18
along with police the arson unit responded to the scene because of the attempt being made to burn the bodies it
00:10:27
was apparent to any one who saw the bodies that they were murdered victims Witnesses describ the scene as horrific
00:10:36
one officer was seen shaking his head as he covered the bodies with a sheet probably because it was apparent to him
00:10:43
how young these victims were crime scene investigators determined that the victims were murdered elsewhere and then
00:10:51
dumped in this vacant lot the bodies had no ID on them the police had no reports
00:10:57
of missing teens in the area police issued a statement that two teen males were found dead and Foul Play was
00:11:06
evident they released sketches of the victims on Monday night a faculty member of the boy school then recognizes the
00:11:16
sketches they knew both brothers Larry and Maurice these two brothers did not come
00:11:22
to school on that Monday so this faculty member called it into to police on May 24th
00:11:29
it was reported that a Louisville woman had come forward to claim the two bodies
00:11:34
found as her sons but the victim's names were not released until May 26th of course the mom was Marie Ren and the
00:11:43
boys the victims were Larry and Maurice her two sons well their mom is going to be told I believe on Tuesday that it's
00:11:51
possible that her boys were found and found in this area yeah this is a weird situation Captain because it's one of
00:11:59
those rare situations where two people go missing they're killed their bodies are found and
00:12:07
recovered and it's not until a couple days later that they're claimed by a family member in this case
00:12:14
being their mother but they were never reported missing at any time yeah I don't want to throw her under the bus
00:12:21
but when your kids don't show up to school on Monday and they don't come back home Sunday night or or Monday at
00:12:29
what point are you going to call them in missing yourself especially when they're
00:12:33
missing school on that Monday so Marie the mother told the media that she learned that the two bodies were found
00:12:40
they could be her boys she learned this on that Tuesday they had left the house with friends on Saturday night that's a
00:12:47
long period for you not to know where your kids are exactly you have to wonder if this was a regular thing in the
00:12:54
household to just not know where the kids were what they were up to Marie said in an interview quote everybody
00:13:00
knows them they got killed over nothing Larry played football and he was on honor rooll in school and Maurice loved
00:13:07
music he was into the music industry and they were great kids they didn't take from nobody she added she pleaded with
00:13:15
anyone who might know anything about the case to please come forward now let's take a step back here captain and look
00:13:23
at what was going on in Maurice and Larry's lives at the time that they first go Miss and then unfortunately
00:13:30
later found to be murdered victims as we said the boys behaved themselves at school and were both considered to be
00:13:38
very good students both were in the eth grade at Olstead Academy North and teachers who spoke about them said that
00:13:45
they were in fact good kids but behind the scenes I think it's a whole bit of a different story here and I'm not saying
00:13:53
that they weren't good kids but what I am saying is we do know that Larry and Maurice were running around with a bad
00:14:00
crowd right well and also you're saying they're in the same grade one's 14 and 116 yeah it's not clear to me that that
00:14:10
jumped off the page as well for me Captain and it's not clear to me why that is what it is but that is in
00:14:17
fact the case or was the case 5 years ago well just to be clear we don't we're not trying to bash these victims we're
00:14:23
just trying to state that the these are the surroundings this is the environment
00:14:28
they were in and I'm still in the eighth grade as well here Captain so I cannot those in Glass Houses right so here's a
00:14:36
quote from um one of the detectives working the case said quote when you have young kids that are in their early
00:14:43
teens I mean you can have really good kids and they get thrown in with the same crowd with a bad crowd this is this
00:14:51
could happen to any kid this is from homicide detective Todd Kissinger this is what he told the CBS News down there
00:15:00
in Louisville Kentucky all it takes is for you to be hanging out with the wrong crowd for a week for a couple days bad
00:15:10
things can happen when you're hanging out with bad people and bad things can happen quick my point is it doesn't
00:15:16
matter if they were hanging out with the wrong crowd for 2 years or two days bad
00:15:20
stuff can happen I have a CREDO that I've lived My Life by if you hang out with bad people and are around bad
00:15:27
things and do bad things long enough something bad will happen to you it's it's just how things go now it seems
00:15:34
that Larry and Maurice got caught up in the sort of gangster lifestyle that looks glamorous to some kids their
00:15:44
social media pages are filled with photos of the two boys posing with automatic weapons and assault rifles
00:15:51
smoking cigars counting large amounts of cash and you know trying to look cool I
00:15:58
guess for the the camera the disturbing thing is it's pretty clear that their mother well she knew what the boys were
00:16:06
up to in their free time she knew that they were hanging out with a bad crowd she knew that they were doing things
00:16:11
that were these unsavory things on camera and then putting these videos together on their social media pages and
00:16:19
we know that she knew this because she is in some of the pictures with them holding guns in a in a tough looking
00:16:24
pose and is even posing with her little daughter in all blue clothing and flags and such that's interesting yeah and
00:16:34
then she went on to tell wdrb.com quote my sons were trying to Earn Stripes in the blood gang and they
00:16:43
had to put in work if they didn't put in work they were knocked off and that's why they were knocked off because they
00:16:51
were scared to put in the work end quote now later Marie backtracked saying it was all a front so her boys could seem
00:17:01
cool and her mom this would be the grandmother Debbie Ren told the media that the guns in the photos were just
00:17:08
toys I don't know either way I'm going to go with the grandmother give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe
00:17:14
they were toys but either way it's it's it's what are you trying to uh what are you trying to achieve by posting
00:17:23
pictures like that well exactly it's not something that I want to see but uh you
00:17:29
know I have to remind myself I was a teenager and I did some dumb stuff in my teenage years yeah we've done we both
00:17:36
have done some really stupid crap I think I think most people do or at least that's what I tell myself to feel better
00:17:42
about myself well also it it would seem to me I'm assuming that they're being raised in a house by a single mother so
00:17:53
I didn't know that growing up I don't know what that would be like and a lot of kids in these types of environments
00:18:03
feel like going with a gang sometimes they feel like there's no option if you don't go with the gang
00:18:13
then every gang is out to get you so at least if you team up with somebody somebody's protecting you well and I
00:18:20
think what we're going to see here and something you pointed out earlier Captain these are young impressionable
00:18:26
boys who are hanging out with an adult that they should not be hanging out with and they're being led by this guy and
00:18:34
led down the wrong path and that's for certain now according to the Courier Journal what they said of the mother
00:18:42
said quote she came under attack on social media for photos of her sons holding guns on her Facebook page which
00:18:49
referenced a gang her family insists that the teens weren't in a gang and were just pretending to be tough and
00:18:56
quote so regardless whatever the truth it's clear that Marie did know who her boys were hanging out with and this was
00:19:03
in fact the wrong crowd and one loser in particular was 25-year-old aspiring rapper Rambo as he called himself better
00:19:13
known as Bryce rhods both boys had appeared in Rambo's music videos with references to guns sex and violence the
00:19:22
boys thought Rambo was going to make them famous as he got famous he told them his music videos would make
00:19:31
them Stars eventually and he bought them clothes and food and would have them ride around with him in his car but
00:19:39
didn't they like listen to his music again they're teenagers they they're young teenagers and they're
00:19:48
they're just not making good decisions I mean listen to the first line of that rap he he's in prison he said he's going
00:19:55
to the jewelry shop yeah I'm going to the jeweler bro like yeah you're not no no you're not but you're
00:20:01
not you can you can say whatever you want to say but you're not hey maybe he is going to like the prison Jeweler
00:20:08
maybe there's a prison Jeweler if handcuffs or jewelry in this guy's mind then yeah this guy's a baller he's a
00:20:14
baller right and you're right I that's funny that you say that Captain did they listen to his music cuz it ain't
00:20:22
good yeah and I'm I'm just not a fan of Mumble rap in general like when when the rapper sounds like
00:20:30
they're just mumbling or or the ones that are just that it's all braggadocious there's no
00:20:37
there's no story there's no Rhyme or Reason um you know that to me it's it's nonsense and and I would say that I'm A
00:20:46
hip-hop fan I mean I like Tupac Biggie I like Jay-Z I like most death black thought the Beasty Boys I feel like
00:20:53
those guys are at least saying something they're not just mumbling well and there's there's good kinds of music and
00:21:00
bad kinds of music you know in all genres and um the the thing is again remember this dude is 25 they're 14 and
00:21:09
16 I remember when I was 14 there was a couple dudes I hung out with simply because they had a car right and in
00:21:18
hindsight these guys were idiots that I were that I was hanging out with simply because they had a car so you can only
00:21:24
imagine what their the Hocus Pocus that he's putting on these young dudes you know he's 25 he's got a car he's got
00:21:33
tattoos he's saying hey I'm going to be famous he's probably lying about who he is to them making himself seem bigger
00:21:40
and more important than what he actually is and they they're young they don't know any better they believe him and so
00:21:47
they're tagging along they're along for the ride so to speak well right but that's why he's hanging out with 14 and
00:21:53
16y old cuz he can't nobody he can't impress anybody his own age right so he's like oh I got to impress these kids
00:22:01
now while we're on the subject of them hanging out with Bryce rhs we have uh their mother on record saying the
00:22:08
following about Bryce he goes through the neighborhoods and he just picks up teenagers he sees and asks them you want
00:22:15
to sell this you want to sell that he kept sneaking and picking up my sons he bribed them with designer clothes and
00:22:24
shoes he would even take them out to eat by them food uh her mother he sounds like a pedo is what he sounds like to me
00:22:33
yeah that's true you know like it's I mean think about how many of these serial killer pedos that we've talked
00:22:41
about that go around the neighborhood find the poor kids and go hey uh you want some beer do you want some
00:22:46
marijuana do you oh you want some new sneakers I can help you out yeah there was a guy down in Texas Dean Coral that
00:22:54
uh made a whole lifestyle out of that for for years yeah um and and he was a shitty rapper too yes yes he was the
00:23:04
grandmother Debbie who who I am a big fan of you know if we're going to be picking sides here and getting people's
00:23:09
back here I will I want to be upfront about that I'm a fan of Debbie Ren she is on record saying the same thing about
00:23:16
Bryce he lured her words her he lured these kids in by buying them shoes taking them to the mall taking them out
00:23:24
to eat and she says yeah he was a predator hold on I'm going to defend the mom a little bit because here here's
00:23:31
what we're so quick to do uh this these kids were in a bad situation their mom didn't know what was going on look at
00:23:39
this age 14 and 16 they're probably bigger than their mom they're probably taller than their mom she can't
00:23:46
physically control them can't maybe physically tell them not to do this or not to do that I don't know that that's
00:23:52
the case here right but what I'm saying is what's never mentioned in the story is where the hell where the both of
00:23:58
these boys' fathers you know so let's not put the let's not put uh too much weight uh onto their mom cuz cuz their
00:24:07
their fathers that obviously weren't helping keeping these kids in better environments it's it's on them as well
00:24:15
well the mother went so far as to say that Rambo used young kids to do his dirty work on the streets and by the
00:24:23
time her boys discovered how dangerous he really was she says it was to too late so Marie told the
00:24:31
police that this is what happened that Bryce rhods and two other teenagers came and picked
00:24:39
up her two sons on Saturday night they were going to a party and this is what they told her we're going to a party on
00:24:48
Sunday she called one of the phones one of their phones looking for them because
00:24:53
they didn't come home now she didn't know it but they were actually already dead at this point one of the teenage
00:25:01
boys that was with Bryce and her two sons answered one of her son's phones and he at the time happened to be
00:25:12
in the car with Bryce and he said to this teenager tells Marie that we went to the store and we'll be right back so
00:25:22
Marie knows not only Bryce rhods by name but also knows the name of both of these
00:25:28
teenagers that arrived with him to pick up her sons on that Saturday they're missing they don't come home and on
00:25:35
Sunday she's calling their phones one of these teenagers picks up gives an excuse
00:25:41
and now we still have two teenagers who have not come home right but at that moment you call cops you call the cops
00:25:49
and you can say look my sons were supposed to be with these two gentlemen or these three gentlemen my bad and
00:25:56
that's what you do yeah my son left with an adult and have not come home like they were supposed to I'm calling this
00:26:04
in because it's it's an issue and so armed with this information this is what she tells the police once the bodies
00:26:12
were found now about 2 and 1/2 weeks before Maurice and Larry were killed there was another murder in Louisville
00:26:21
and one that was unsolved at the time that her two sons went missing media reports said that on May 4th around
00:26:30
12:30 a.m. 40-year-old Christopher Jones was found having been shot in the Torso
00:26:37
in the 800 block of South 41st Street now Medics arrived on the scene and triy to save Christopher Jones but he died
00:26:47
during surgery at University Hospital just after 4:30 a.m. this was the city's 38th homicide of that year when the
00:26:58
Louisville Metro Police spokesperson reported this to the media the following afternoon he said that there were no
00:27:06
suspects at that time okay so what does this have to do with r two teenage victims well in the course of their
00:27:19
investigation the Louisville PD investigation into Bryce rhods after getting his name from the mother police
00:27:27
got aate statement from one of Rad's accompli that Maurice and Larry were in the vehicle when Bryce RADS shot
00:27:37
Christopher Jones so this unsolved homicide for May 4th they're now getting information that the two other murder
00:27:47
victims were in a car with this Bryce rhods character when he when Bryce rhods shot
00:27:55
and killed Christopher Jones [Music] this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays maybe

00:30:01
Cellular when Freedom calls we're here to answer call us at 1888 [Music] Freedom all right we're back you filthy
00:30:23
animals Cheers Cheers captain now if you are Louisville PD if you're a detective
00:30:30
working one or both of these homicide cases you have an interesting situation here now don't you because you have
00:30:39
someone telling you that these murders might all be connected and the center point here might be this Bryce rhods guy
00:30:48
right we now have information that he shot and killed this Christopher Jones and we're now getting information that
00:30:54
our two other murder victims were were in the vehicle with Bryce roads when he shot and killed Christopher Jones yeah
00:31:02
so the the PD is sitting around thinking where can we find Bryce rhs at well at the local jewelry store yeah of course
00:31:10
bro the interesting thing here too is this information is coming with a certain amount of weight a certain
00:31:19
amount of weight backing it up that makes it even more believable because there was another accomplice
00:31:28
also we now have a motive of why this 14 and 16y old are dead the motive being that Bryce killed this guy and their
00:31:38
Witnesses or accomplice and and somehow then Bryce decided that they need to be be taken
00:31:47
care of so the accomplice was following behind Bryce rhods and Maurice and Larry
00:31:54
who were in a vehicle following behind them in another vehicle this accomplice ran over Jones's Body by accident after
00:32:03
Christopher Jones was shot rhs told Larry and Maurice according to the accomplice that Bryce rhs told Larry and
00:32:12
Maurice not to tell anyone about the shooting and then took them home that's the night of May 4th okay so just
00:32:19
reverse a little bit so Bryce pulls up with the two teenage boys in his car he pulls up on this guy he gets out of
00:32:31
his car shoots the shoots the guy his accomplice is behind him I think it was a drive by okay but then the car behind
00:32:42
him was Bryce's buddy and he ran over the victim correct he ran over Christopher Jones okay so when police
00:32:52
arrive they find this man shot and run over he's still alive but he's you know not able to
00:33:01
speak or tell them anything right and they Rush him off to the hospital where they tried desperately to save this guy
00:33:10
but unfortunately were unable to do so when Bryce rhs after the shooting he of course tells Larry and Maurice not to
00:33:19
tell anyone about the shooting about the murder and then takes them home but the
00:33:26
two teenag teers they're just kids right I mean at the end of the day regardless
00:33:32
of what they were doing good bad or in between they're just kids and they probably didn't know even if they were
00:33:41
told this is what might go down tonight they may not have even believed it until
00:33:46
they saw it until they experienced it these kids are terrified now and he's just dropping them off at their
00:33:54
house yeah so it seems seems that this might be the the real life shocker wakeup call
00:34:03
to this 14 and 16year old boys that hey this [ __ ] is real yeah and these things
00:34:12
have real consequences and look to what just happened to this unfortunate individual that was for all we know just
00:34:20
walking down the street minding their own business and gets gunned down and then unfortunately ran over well and now
00:34:26
you have proof that this 25-year-old you're hanging out with is a complete [ __ ] bag and so if he's capable and you
00:34:34
just saw what he did so if he's capable of doing that to this guy he's capable of doing that to you to any member of
00:34:41
your family you got you got mixed up with the wrong crowd well and of course now he's dropping them off at home and
00:34:49
they're terrified they're frightened and now Bryce rh's concern then becomes that
00:34:56
well maybe these two kids are going to tell someone maybe they're going to tell their mom maybe they're going to tell
00:35:02
their grandmother maybe they're going to tell people at school or even the police
00:35:07
right to Double Down triple down I guess on the tragedy Larry and Maurice they're
00:35:12
dead within three weeks of this Christopher Jones being shot now Christopher Jones being shot wasn't
00:35:19
there a a hit put out on him or something um something like that we we'll get into that cuz it's a little
00:35:28
more complicated than that but what we have here Captain is once the mother tells police about this Bryce rhods and
00:35:36
everything that she seems to know at the time and that her boys were last to be seen with him the Louisville Police they
00:35:44
started looking for Bryce rhods and he had a record and not just not just a police
00:35:52
record he had a police record with Louisville PD right right so we'll go through some of his uh background here
00:36:00
he had been convicted twice of assault four times of domestic violence and twice for violating the
00:36:07
terms of his probation but more importantly rhs was wanted in nearby Indiana on domestic abuse charges in
00:36:17
Clark County now Indiana authorities had been looking for Bryce rhods for about 6
00:36:24
months at this time in our timeline he was also on probation in the same Indiana county for domestic assault for
00:36:33
incidents in 2013 and 2014 Louisville authorities had a reason to find and arrest Bryce rhs so that's
00:36:44
the Avenue we are going to pursue right we've only heard this information from people that we don't know if they're
00:36:51
credible or not mhm so we don't really have anything to go out and arrest this guy on but oh he already has a warrant
00:36:59
out for him by this other jurisdiction and he's on probation so we got some leverage here so it's going to be the
00:37:08
Clark County Indiana authorities that will go out looking for Bryce rhods not just to not just to serve their warrants
00:37:17
and arrest him but also to help out the Louisville Police Department and it only
00:37:24
took them thankfully a couple of days to find Bryce rhods and bring this guy in in the meantime per The Courier Journal
00:37:34
newspaper quote homicide detectives track down one of the two alleged teenage accomplice this was 15-year-old
00:37:43
an Juan Carter and began interviewing him while searching for the 25-year-old Bryce rhods their Prime Suspect police
00:37:53
also arrested another accomplice this is jakori Taylor age 17 they started interviewing these
00:38:01
juveniles to amass evidence against 25-year-old Bryce roads what are we seeing here Captain this loser Bryce
00:38:09
who's he running around with did you catch all those ages 14 15 16 and 17 what you got no friends no I think
00:38:18
he's I really think he's a pedo I I would be interested to to to hear them um to hear the
00:38:27
juveniles talk about you know other things and I wouldn't put it past him as being
00:38:35
a pedo I you're starting to convince me here I at first I thought well that's an
00:38:40
interesting take makes sense cuz we've seen it in other cases in other neighborhoods throughout
00:38:46
time yeah this is something that happens you might be on to something here Captain so on Tuesday May 24th police
00:38:54
spotted roads vehicle on Preston Highway they arrested him on the outstanding warrant in Indiana and were able to hold
00:39:03
him while they worked to gather evidence in the Larry Maurice murder cases and they slapped him with additional charges
00:39:12
stemming from an attack on his own mother apparently Bryce's mother alleged that Bryce grabbed her by the neck and
00:39:21
punched her in the temple as she attempted to unload groceries his teenage sister called the police but
00:39:30
at that time this would be back in 2014 they did not arrest Bryce roads this for unknown reasons wait
00:39:38
so this is what drives me insane sometimes with these cases you go he he grabbed his mom by the throat punched
00:39:45
her in the temple and we didn't arrest this dick canoe right like maybe if we would arrested him there maybe if we
00:39:55
would have got him on these other other charges these murders would have never taken place that's certainly possible
00:40:02
again I don't know the reasons why he was not arrested that day so I don't want to I don't want to point blame at
00:40:08
anybody here but in a later interview his mother Bryce Road's mother said that Bryce has mental issues and has not been
00:40:16
taking his medication when he allegedly killed Maurice and lar she said that she
00:40:22
was out of town at the time that's going to come back to be important not so much
00:40:28
the medication thing or his mental issues or whatever but more so that she was out of town at the time of the
00:40:37
murder of these two young boys right so okay let's go through a little more of Bryce rh's background and criminal
00:40:45
history here the Clark County Indiana prosecutor this is Jeremy Maul was interviewed by the media and was very
00:40:54
forthcoming about Bryce's police criminal record he reeled off Road's previous convictions which included
00:41:02
armed robbery criminal confinement domestic assault and felony intimidation he was a registered sex
00:41:12
offender there you go captain in Indiana this would be for the confinement charge which involved an
00:41:20
underage victim I don't have I'm looking here I don't have the information if this underage victim was male or female
00:41:28
either way he's still a pedo and then here's a quote from the when I go to theou when I go to the jewelry store I'm
00:41:36
a pedo here's a quote from the prosecutor quote he's been out on probation they're
00:41:43
talking about Bryce rhods obviously he has been given all the resources of the taxpayers to turn his life around if he
00:41:51
wanted to do that unfortunately he just continues to acrew new crimes and what he wanted to say was unfortunately he's
00:41:58
just a giant pile of [ __ ] right yeah you're right this seems like a very polite way to uh to word this about
00:42:08
Bryce rhods now remember that we said that police had arrested some teenage accomplice of Bryce rhods and one of
00:42:16
these accompli told police that he along with Maurice and Larry witnessed the Christopher Jones shooting okay
00:42:26
another was the the the boy the young man that said he accidentally ran over Jones after the shooting so Bryce rhods
00:42:35
had multiple teen accompli how do do we know how these accompli came forward did
00:42:42
they did they come forward or well it wasn't difficult because what you have is you have the the mother telling
00:42:50
police after her sons are found dead right but it wasn't difficult because we have the mother telling police look my
00:42:57
boy's left with Bryce rhods Anan Carter and jakori Taylor so what happens in Captain is they go all right well let's
00:43:06
go look for these three guys and ask them when's the last time they saw Maurice and Larry right and when you go
00:43:13
especially when you have young offenders when you have an Juan Carter who's only 15 you have jakori Taylor
00:43:22
who's only 17 you go and talk to them you put you turn the heat up a little bit and usually you start getting
00:43:29
information from these these young guys yeah you start going uh we know uh you want to turn your boyfriend Bryce in
00:43:38
because if you don't uh we're going to charge you as an adult and you're going to have many more boyfriends in your
00:43:45
life well and that's exactly what's going to happen so what we have here is both very quickly tell the police yes I
00:43:54
I was with Bryce and I was with the the other young man and we did in fact pick up Maurice and Larry that night so this
00:44:02
is the information they got from the mother is now being backed up by these young people Anan Carter and jakori
00:44:08
Taylor I also wonder how much again you get picked up you're riding around with people you know and I know and I I can
00:44:19
say from my own experience I've hung out with the wrong crowd and I learned pretty quickly when
00:44:26
you when somebody picks you up and then all of a sudden you're around a situation you never thought you were
00:44:32
supposed to be around you know right you walk into somebody's house and next thing you know uh there's a bunch of
00:44:38
drugs on the table and that's not you don't feel comfortable or there's drugs on the table and there's guns around and
00:44:46
you're going what and you're the youngest guy in the room there's there's situations that sometimes you didn't
00:44:54
even know you're you're getting into right uh and that's the problem with the bad crowd well and if there's any young
00:45:01
people out there listening and you happen to find yourself in a situation I know it it's uncomfortable and it
00:45:08
doesn't it doesn't seem easy but leave that's the best thing you can do if you go all of a sudden you're like oh my God
00:45:15
who am I hanging out with what's going on all this stuff they said before I thought they were joking yeah or never
00:45:21
again once you get back home never again I I say get out of there soon as you can
00:45:27
as soon as you can um and but but it's difficult you know I mean I remember hanging out with a group of older guys
00:45:35
and we went to the apartment and right before we went into the apartment they told me don't look at the guy I went
00:45:41
what wait don't look at the guy yeah just who is he Medusa look at the ground and I was like look at the ground
00:45:47
they're like well he doesn't know you so he's going to be uncomfortable well why
00:45:51
why the [ __ ] are we going there if this if I can't can't look at the guy in his
00:45:57
face and he's going to be so uncomfortable that some you again most teenagers are dumb I was a dumb teenager
00:46:03
once we yeah why are we going there we we don't know ask any of those guys today they go yeah I don't know why we
00:46:10
went there uh but what you have here Captain is they're going to be looking for all three of these individuals that
00:46:15
are named by the mom when they do pick them up we have the the younger two saying yes in fact I was there uh Bryce
00:46:23
did pick them up that night on that Saturday so now they they have nobody else telling them that Maurice and Larry
00:46:31
ever went anywhere else at any point right and they're going to know roughly about what time or what day that the
00:46:39
boys were killed because we have a short window to work with here they're found relatively
00:46:45
quickly and you have them telling police just enough just enough to keep them going so police are going to go you know
00:46:53
what we don't have any confessions here we don't have a huge amount of evidence but we got all three of these people
00:47:00
putting themselves with the victims around the time that we believe that they were murdered so we're going to
00:47:06
charge you guys why are we going to charge all three of you because we're hoping that once we crank up the heat
00:47:12
and apply the pressure one of you will come to your senses and start [Music] talking
