Description
On March 1st of 2007, 46-year-old Richard “Doug” Douglas White prepares to close his small business for the day when two men enter his shop. The next day, Doug’s fiance, 44-year-old Dr. Brenda Kaye Covington, discovers Doug’s body. Doug has been beaten and shot multiple times. Over a year later, state prosecutors prepare for the trial of one of Doug’s alleged attackers, 21-year-old Marine A. Thompson. Suddenly, the case is mysteriously dropped. Apparently, a key witness who allegedly saw Marine and an unknown accomplice enter Doug’s business has vanished. Over a decade passes, and the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office allows Doug’s case to go cold. However, local authorities confide in Doug’s fiance’s family that Doug was secretly embroiled in dangerous cocaine drug deals which may have cost him his life. In episode 255, Jac and Alexis explain why Doug’s friends and family need the search for justice to continue, despite Doug’s checkered past as a violent abuser.?
