1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,960
This series presents the investigation
of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, ABT.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,400
Contains violence and comments
racist, real and reconstituted.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,320
In 2008, we had our first success
against the Arian Brotherhood of Texas.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,640
I arrested the general
Steve "Stainless" Cooke

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,200
for killing Scott Freeman,
another member of the Brotherhood.

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,960
This arrest gave us the chance
to attack the entire organization.

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,040
I discovered that the Brotherhood was
like a spider's web

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,120
throughout the state of Texas.

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,480
I got the collaboration
of many people,

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,480
and the Brotherhood was starting to get upset.

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,200
We couldn't believe that a general
of the Brotherhood was ready to collaborate.

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,160
He was the first person

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,760
who pulled the veil
what the Brotherhood covered.

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,960
I had the chance to attack the organization
as we attacked the Mafia.

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
All the generals, majors,
captains, lieutenants.

16
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,200
We wanted to shut them all down
for a long period.

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,840
It was time to get going
the largest forensic investigation

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,600
from the history of the state of Texas.

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,160
THE OPERATION
THE ARIAN BROTHERHOOD OF TEXAS

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,760
THE WHEEL

21
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040
This is the address where he lived
Steven Walter Cooke, aka Stainless,

22
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000
during the investigation.

23
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,880
I obtained a research mandate
of his residence.

24
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,080
Among other things, I discovered
a plastic box.

25
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,080
It was amazing.

26
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,600
It was as if we had found the Ten Commandments
in the Ark of the Covenant.

27
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,720
It was written and illustrated history
of the Brotherhood.

28
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,440
All kinds of evidence about the look
at the Ariane Brotherhood in Texas.

29
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,840
If you want us to do it
analogy with the Mafia,

30
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,960
it was as if someone had written
the whole history of the five families

31
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,880
and would have hidden it in a box.

32
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,680
It was a sea of ​​information.

33
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,840
I found objects
that belonged to the Brotherhood, constitutions.

34
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,920
Application forms
to become a member of the Brotherhood.

35
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,840
letters from prison,
member lists.

36
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480
I have also discovered
and Stainless's computer.

37
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,720
It contained
a sea of information.

38
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,000
Stainless had downloaded to the computer
a phone's memory card.

39
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,200
It is on that card
a series of photographs and films.

40
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,360
I opened a shoot.

41
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,040
Do you feel like a man now?

42
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,400
I saw a man
brutally beaten.

43
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,160
It was heard that he was in great pain.

44
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,320
It was obvious that he was in pain.

45
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,560
The memory card in the computer
it was dated September 2008,

46
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,880
by a few weeks

47
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,280
before Stainless kills him
on Scott Freeman.

48
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
I checked the database
and I didn't find any files

49
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
of any aggression
from that period.

50
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,640
I didn't know who the man was
respectively

51
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:21,520
if he was alive or dead.

52
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,840
Once we have processed the documents
recovered from the plastic box,

53
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,440
I found a clue.

54
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,600
One of the lists documents
church meeting

55
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,680
from the day of the violent attack
what had been filmed.

56
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,280
There were 12 names,
all of the gang members.

57
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,520
Based on the list,
it was written in red ink:

58
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
"Xtrip".

59
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,720
In Brotherhood slang,
"X" means remove from lane.

60
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,520
Oftentimes, that means
only one thing, namely death.

61
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,760
Should this be Trip?

62
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,600
He was another victim,
killed by the Brotherhood?

63
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560
I started
let's investigate in detail.

64
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,800
The memory card contained
and numerous photographs,

65
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,960
dated before and after the attack.

66
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,320
We had to make the connection
between the photos and the list.

67
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,080
At the beginning of the investigation.
I approached a member of the Brotherhood,

68
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880
to which I could bring them
various charges.

69
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,400
I knew he knew him well
on Stainless and everything that was going on,

70
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520
but I didn't know
if he would speak.

71
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360
Constitution of the Arian Brotherhood
from Texas claimed

72
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,040
that you cannot cooperate with the police.

73
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,040
I knew he would have his revenge.

74
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,320
It was unbelievable that the suspect
began to give us information.

75
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,840
I linked the photos
and the name on the list.

76
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,400
It helped us identify
and the victim in the film.

77
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,400
The person was a man
named Fredrick Jones,

78
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,600
said Trip, potential member
of the Brotherhood.

79
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,840
But he used narcotics excessively,
and the gang disagreed.

80
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,400
He was restricted
access to drugs,

81
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,760
to the order
of Steve "Stainless" Cooke.

82
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,920
In the Brotherhood, it was nonsense
disobey the general's order.

83
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,880
In the Brotherhood's constitution,

84
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,240
it said that order is order
and it had to be respected.

85
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,760
If you ignore the general's order,
you were giving trouble.

86
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,600
You were beaten or killed.

87
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Here he was beaten
with Trip brutality,

88
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440
in the back yard
of Cooke's dwelling.

89
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600
They beat him because he didn't have one
allowed to use drugs,

90
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,960
but he did not take into account the order.

91
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Discipline was ordered
by Steven Walter Cooke.

92
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,760
All those in the church
participated in the attack.

93
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,600
They took him to the back yard

94
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,600
and they kicked him,
with fists.

95
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,360
They beat him to the mother of fire.

96
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,600
Trip went with the fractured arch,
with broken ribs

97
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
and cuts all over the body.

98
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,200
Do you feel like a man now?

99
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Do you still want the cigarette in your mouth?

100
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,000
He was put in a van and
abandoned in Montgomery County,

101
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,000
where he was left to die.

102
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,480
Trip survived the beatings,

103
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,280
but when i found it
he did not want to cooperate.

104
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,880
It was disappointing
for our investigation.

105
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,680
But the removal authorization
of Fredrick "Trip" Jones

106
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360
was given
by Steven Walter Cooke.

107
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760
All those present
at the church meeting

108
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,640
they wrote their names
and signed the list,

109
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800
to give him a beating
sister with death.

110
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,080
That list
was the signed testimony

111
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,200
by all those who participated
to the attack on Trip.

112
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,720
That opened my eyes.

113
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000
They weren't just neo-Nazis,
supporters of white supremacy.

114
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320
The group was organized
such as mafia families.

115
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800
We had an opportunity to attack the lane

116
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,120
just like i did
with the mafia gangs of the northeast,

117
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,760
using federal law
against organized crime.

118
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:32,160
US Department of Justice

119
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,960
Crime Squad
Organized and active gangs

120
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,480
within the Ministry of Justice

121
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:44,400
and he specializes in cases
of mafia-type activities.

122
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:48,960
It concentrates exclusively
on RICO cases.

123
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,280
RICO is used
with the VICAR law,

124
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,160
violent crimes
of mafia time.

125
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,440
When I found out that Rich
and his colleagues have a similar case,

126
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,880
we were ready to get involved,
in our turn.

127
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Charges of organized crime
they are the greatest tool

128
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,080
from the federal toolkit.

129
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,360
They are exclusive.

130
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Less than 1% of agencies
and federal prosecutors investigated

131
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,400
a RICO-VICAR type case.

132
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,440
The good side of the law
against organized crime

133
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,440
is that you can impeach
the whole organization.

134
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,200
You may not have committed the crime,

135
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,840
but if you ordered it
or are you somehow involved,

136
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,920
you can be indicted
under the RICO Act.

137
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480
In an organized crime case,
you have to prove first

138
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,240
that the investigated group
it's an organization.

139
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,600
That means it's a group
who commit violent acts.

140
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,840
It's a group of individuals
with one purpose,

141
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,480
that of having activities
for the promotion of the organization.

142
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Murder, aggravated assault,
selling drugs.

143
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,520
I knew that individuals had
a common goal,

144
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,080
that they were operating accordingly
the same constitution,

145
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,520
throughout the state of Texas.

146
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,320
The brotherhood met the conditions
an organization.

147
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,520
The objective of the counter department
Organized Crime and Gangs,

148
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,320
in this case,

149
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,920
was to completely dismantle the Brotherhood.

150
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:45,080
But RICO charges are not being brought
overnight. It takes time.

151
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,720
To destroy
such an organization,

152
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,680
i needed
by a large team.

153
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,200
I involved all kinds of people
with an interest in this case.

154
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,400
I didn't care what badge they had.

155
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,720
If they wanted to help us,
they were part of the team.

156
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,600
We had agents from ATF, DEA,
FBI, National Security.

157
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,200
We had Texas cops,
dallas police,

158
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
agents of the Ministry for
Texas Public Safety,

159
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,120
of the police
of Harris County,

160
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,560
of the Baytown Police,
of the Atascosa police.

161
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,760
I was the liaison.

162
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,840
One of the first cases investigated
it was a brutal double murder

163
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,600
from East Texas.

164
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
A year before
to form the investigation team,

165
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,960
two bodies were discovered
in East Texas.

166
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,000
The case was important.

167
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,800
for we consider orderly murders
by a general of the Brotherhood,

168
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,800
as an activity of the organization.

169
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,920
It was a merciless execution,

170
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,160
the definition of the expression
"in cold blood".

171
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Being from East Texas,
I knew how bad the Brotherhood could do.

172
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,520
I wanted to go back there
and to help as much as I could.

173
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,880
I was told I would cooperate
when investigating a murder,

174
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,680
near Lufkin.

175
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Lufkin is a city
with 30,000 inhabitants.

176
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:43,320
It is an old city with a rich history.

177
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760
It's typical Texan.

178
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,720
There are many people
who were born there

179
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,600
they raised their children there.

180
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,600
They are living families
in the city for generations.

181
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,760
It's not the city where they take place
many violent crimes.

182
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,440
August 10, 2007

183
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,760
It was a typical August day,
in Texas. Warm and humid.

184
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,240
The dispatcher notified us

185
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,560
that a person found
two dead bodies in an alley.

186
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,800
They were in the region of Etoile,
of Nacogdoches County.

187
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,960
when i got here
and I saw the bodies,

188
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,360
I said a prayer
for them and their families.

189
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Then I started the investigation.
I had to do my duty.

190
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,640
He was a dead man,

191
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
who was lying in the alley.

192
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,800
And here, behind him,
about five meters,

193
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,760
she was a deceased woman.

194
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,320
She had been shot twice.
Part of his head had exploded.

195
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,720
It was a disturbing scene.

196
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,120
I have been a paramedic for 30 years
and policeman for 24 years.

197
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,960
I have investigated many crimes,
but this scene was terrible.

198
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,560
It looked like an execution.

199
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,440
I notified the team
from Homicide

200
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Texas sheriffs.

201
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,440
They started taking samples,
to determine what had happened.

202
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,040
on the spot

203
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,320
I found out that the man
his name was David Mitchamore.

204
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,240
But he was known
right Super Dave,

205
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,480
active member
of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.

206
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,960
We had heard rumours

207
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,400
about the presence in the area
of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas,

208
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,360
but the members did not stand out,
they did not attract attention at all.

209
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,640
It was the first time
when I was dealing with them.

210
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,000
It was an important step for us,
for we had to attack the leaders.

211
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,040
These murders were the first case
which I could use

212
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,040
to build the file
against the Arian Brotherhood of Texas.

213
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,320
David Mitchamore's General
it was Carl Carver.

214
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Carl Carver was called
CC or Red.

215
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040
He was a discreet general.

216
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,760
Carl only had a few
body tattoos,

217
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,600
nothing to attract attention
on the gang.

218
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,000
He looked like a simple worker
from constructions.

219
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,400
He dressed well,
he was wearing a cowboy hat.

220
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,680
You wouldn't have guessed
who was carl carver

221
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,200
But he was a very dangerous man.

222
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Carl Carver had
two previous convictions,

223
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,680
one for kidnapping,
another for particularly serious assault.

224
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,640
Carl Carver was violent.

225
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,480
He was in custody at the time,
but he still had immense powers.

226
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Why did one end up dead?
of Carl Carver's soldiers,

227
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,720
on a field
from east texas?

228
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,880
I didn't find out who the woman was
than later.

229
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280
I got the photo
from the driver's license.

230
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,440
Christy Brown was 27 years old
and three small children.

231
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,120
He was born and raised
in Lufkin, Texas.

232
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Me and Christy hit it off

233
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600
because he had the greatest
sense of humor.

234
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,680
She was also very beautiful.

235
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,600
When entering a room,
it was like a ray of sunshine.

236
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,960
You knew you were going to have a good day.

237
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,360
When I saw her, Christy would show me
a picture of one of the children.

238
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,880
For a while, he only had Ravyn.

239
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,760
I was saying, "Oh my God, Christy!
He looks like you."

240
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,000
I have some pictures of my mother
which I like to show.

241
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,960
There aren't many, but there are
that we have we value.

242
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:17,400
He was holding me in his arms.
I think I had a month or so.

243
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
I look small, a little baby.

244
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,440
This is me and my mother.
We look like twins.

245
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,960
I was 7 years old
when i lost my mother

246
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,920
In the beginning,
it wasn't that hard for me.

247
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:43,800
I think I started to suffer more
during adolescence.

248
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,760
I was seeing other people
with their mothers.

249
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,440
i have dad
who was also my mother.

250
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,640
But... He's dad.

251
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,760
He won't know how to give it to me
certain answers.

252
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,400
Jason, her husband, said
that she was the love of his life,

253
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,360
but they broke up.

254
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,680
At some point, Christy
met Dave Mitchamore.

255
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,920
Then the situation deteriorated.

256
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,760
Dave Mitchamore was a loyal member
of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.

257
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,120
He had a record
he had a violent temper.

258
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:48,360
He was selling methamphetamine.
Christy and Dave started a relationship.

259
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,880
He took it the wrong way.

260
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:09,400
He started to have activities

261
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,040
which were not good for him.

262
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,640
Christy was on methamphetamine.

263
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,120
She and Dave used to do drugs together.

264
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,640
Meth doesn't care who you are.

265
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Once he has you trapped,
it doesn't leave you anymore.

266
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,320
I was 12 when I started
to use methamphetamine.

267
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,280
I was in ninth heaven.

268
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,080
I used to do so much

269
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,400
so that, at 14, I couldn't
get out of bed without drugs.

270
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600
It's a physical addiction.

271
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,320
You think you're beautiful.

272
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,520
I thought I was amazing
but the drugs made me sick.

273
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,800
You think you're sexy and beautiful

274
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,640
but you look like 150 years old
and you should eat something.

275
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,840
Christy Brown got high
with methamphetamine? Sure.

276
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,920
Was it a good idea? Not.
But the result was addiction

277
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,480
who would lead her permanently

278
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,000
to the one or those
who offered him the drug.

279
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,960
The crime shocked the community.

280
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,600
It was the first double murder
of recent history that I know of.

281
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,800
We started getting phone calls
from the citizens.

282
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:09,200
Nobody can keep his mouth shut.
Criminals will tell someone.

283
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,920
I had the description of the cars.

284
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Once we identified the cars,
I got some names.

285
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Cameron Frazier was the captain
within the Brotherhood.

286
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,240
His name was Mojo
and lived in Nacogdoches.

287
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,040
He was 26 years old and had been
already closed several times.

288
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,680
He had assaulted an official,
a family member,

289
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,560
possessed weapons illegally.

290
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,680
He had been convicted.

291
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,440
We were informed that Mojo was driving
a black Chevrolet pickup truck,

292
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,720
observed at an address in Etoile.

293
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,720
We moved to the address.

294
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:08,960
I think there were two men
in front of the house when I arrived.

295
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,840
I circled the house, of course.

296
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,440
I got everyone out of the house
and I identified them.

297
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,040
One of them was Cameron Frazier.

298
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,320
- State your full name.
- Charles Cameron Frazier.

299
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,280
I'm Sheriff Kerrs.
This is Lieutenant Bill Ball.

300
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,040
You want to ask me
by Dave Mitchamore?

301
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,360
He was a good man, the best
my friend from all over the world

302
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840
My brother died
because he was taking cocaine.

303
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,480
He was closer to me
than my brother

304
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760
It's a joke to you.
To me, he was like a brother.

305
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,160
His mother, Di, is like a relative to me.

306
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,600
He kept telling me
that Mitchamore was his friend

307
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:10,480
and that he would not have done anything to him
his brother.

308
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,960
If you didn't kill him,
who did it?

309
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,240
I don't know. How should I know?
who killed my friend

310
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,560
If I knew, I would kill him.

311
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,960
I have not obtained any other information
from Cameron "Mojo" Frazier,

312
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,120
so I continued the investigation.

313
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,480
The police obtained the images
supervision from local companies.

314
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,280
I had the images filmed
at Motel Six in Lufkin,

315
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,440
from the evening before the murders.

316
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,720
A lot of people got winded
in one of the rooms.

317
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000
One of the people was
Cameron Frazier.

318
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,640
I have identified the person
who made the reservation at the motel

319
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,000
and I called her in for questioning.

320
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:11,760
It could be the track you were looking for.

321
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,160
April Flannigan entered
in the room with a trash can,

322
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:23,480
for fear she would be so agitated,
until he vomits.

323
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,720
April Flannigan was 27 years old
and three small children.

324
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,880
She was studying to become a nurse,
like her mother.

325
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,240
He worked in phlebotomy.

326
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,640
We were coworkers,
a short period.

327
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,480
I always thought she was pretty.
She was a beautiful girl.

328
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,440
He had long brown hair,
typical outfit.

329
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:56,600
April Flannigan was in a relationship
flashing with Cameron Frazier.

330
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,760
We want you to tell us everything you know,
exactly what happened

331
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,760
last weekend.

332
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,200
How did you meet them?

333
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,080
Dave took me in,
when I had nowhere to stay.

334
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,960
Then I met Cameron,
who welcomed me to his home.

335
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:22,280
You met Dave first.
Super Dave, dead?

336
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,800
- How long did you stay at Dave's?
- A few days.

337
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,200
Good. in those days
you met cameron

338
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,000
What was your relationship with Cameron?

339
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,160
We were friends
a week and a half.

340
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,120
Then we became lovers.

341
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,640
I really like Cameron.
Or I liked him.

342
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,960
He called me and called me to him,
let's talk

343
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,080
He told me he loved me.

344
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,680
He wanted to talk.

345
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,320
You arrived at Motel Six,

346
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,560
on Thursday, August 9.

347
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,920
It's the motel in Lufkin.

348
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,600
He realized
that he knew about her involvement,

349
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,640
but he had no idea how much we had learned.

350
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,680
What car did you leave with?

351
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,680
I don't know. With my truck?

352
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,640
- Did you find her?
- We ask you.

353
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,560
I don't know.

354
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,400
He feared the Arian Brotherhood.

355
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,760
He was afraid of what might happen,
if he was talking to us

356
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,640
but he was also afraid of prison.

357
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,240
It doesn't matter if I arrive
in prison. Either way, it's killing me.

358
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:55,080
The US Attorney's Office can provide you
guard well before trial,

359
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,920
but not if you don't tell us
the whole truth.

360
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,000
We don't help people
who do not help themselves.

361
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,680
I think he wanted to cooperate.
But how much?

362
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,200
- I'm going to die, no matter what.
- Then tell us the truth.

363
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,080
At least you die with a clear conscience.

364
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,880
I know how they did it
but I was not present.

365
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,440
- They told me how they did it.
- Them or Cameron?

366
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,520
- Cameron.
- Okay.

367
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,240
Cameron and Brent killed them.

368
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,800
- According to Cameron.
- Yes.

369
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,120
- Brent told you that?
- No.

370
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Cameron and Brent did it.

371
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,480
According to April Flannigan,
on the morning of the murders,

372
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Mojo and Brent Stalsby,
another member of the Brotherhood,

373
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000
they took the truck
and her husband's rifle

374
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,920
at the motel where they were staying
Christy Brown and David Mitchamore.

375
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,120
They told Dave:
"We want to party. Come on!"

376
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,760
Christy said
that she wants to go too,

377
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,320
but they asked him
to stay put.

378
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
But she didn't listen.

379
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,000
There was a store on Route 103,
where they stopped.

380
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,600
Cameron Frazier, "Super Dave"
Mitchamore, Brent Stalsby entered.

381
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,000
Christy stayed in the van.

382
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,520
He didn't know what was going on
or what was going to happen.

383
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,920
They bought something to drink,

384
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,240
they got into the van
and they went on.

385
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:48,480
Imagine you are in the car
with your boyfriend and his friends.

386
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,560
I lead you to a field,
a place where they used to party.

387
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,680
It was high noon.

388
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,680
They went to the field
from the edge of the river.

389
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,000
Cameron Frazier carrying the rifle

390
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:18,000
and they all went to the place
in which he decided to kill them.

391
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,320
Cameron Frazier had a problem.

392
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,840
Dave Mitchamore was his good friend.
They were close.

393
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,760
when the time came
he couldn't do it.

394
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Mojo decided to shoot Christy.

395
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Then he gave him the gun
to Brent Stalsby,

396
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,960
who shot him
on Dave Mitchamore.

397
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,240
Why did they do this?

398
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,720
Why did Christy die?

399
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Mojo was ordered to commit
the carl carver murder.

400
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,400
He wanted Mitchamore dead
because he owed it to him.

401
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,640
Mitchamore owed him money
to Carl Carver,

402
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,400
after he had damaged them
work van.

403
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:18,040
Super Dave didn't pay on time,
and Carl Carver got angry

404
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,800
and gave the order as "Super Dave"
Mitchamore to be killed.

405
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,120
That's how insane the organization was.

406
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:35,080
If you received a direct order,
you apply it, without asking questions.

407
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Friendship doesn't matter.

408
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,880
Christy Brown died because
he was in the wrong place

409
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,440
with the wrong man.

410
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,920
He was a collateral victim.
They could leave no witnesses alive.

411
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,120
Carl Carver didn't pull the trigger
in the case of double murder,

412
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,680
but I knew I had to
let's hold him accountable.

413
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,680
For this, I needed
by the testimonies of those

414
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,040
who knew what had happened.

415
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:33,800
I questioned him again
Cameron Frazier, said Mojo.

416
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,520
I am condemning myself by talking to you.

417
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,600
I give up everything I have
and to everything I did.

418
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,840
They all go to the water of Saturday.

419
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,680
- Do you know that?
- Yes.

420
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,600
I want to know that you will help me
because I will be in danger.

421
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,480
But I think Dave deserves it
to do this

422
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,520
I can tell you who gave the order,
who controls texas, everything.

423
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,480
We knew this was what we needed.

424
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,720
Cameron Frazier pulled out
the truth in the light

425
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,280
and spoke freely
about his involvement.

426
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,400
He told us how he was recruited,
what were the rules

427
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,080
When I told you
that he was my friend, I didn't lie.

428
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,000
I didn't really like his girlfriend.
He treated him badly.

429
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,280
But that does not justify the fact
that she is dead too.

430
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,600
He didn't deserve to die.
She had two beautiful white children.

431
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,240
He didn't deserve to die.
Dave didn't deserve to die either.

432
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,760
I want to make sure he gets it
what is carl carter worth

433
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,720
If I can't touch it,
let someone else do it, even the state.

434
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,120
I bear witness
I do whatever it takes.

435
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,120
Carl Carter gave the order
a subordinate,

436
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,840
as general of the Brotherhood,

437
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,040
so I could accuse him
of organized crime.

438
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,200
Carl Carver was in prison.
He thought he was sheltered.

439
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,800
He did not expect to be caught.

440
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,600
This time, he was caught

441
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,880
and received a fitting punishment.

442
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,360
This case proved it
that the generals were not committing the murders.

443
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,040
They were giving them the orders
to members of lower rank.

444
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,720
As a leader, if you know
that these acts are committed,

445
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,280
and you or the organization
take advantage of them

446
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,000
you can be charged
under the RICO Act.

447
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,360
Carl Carver was put
under federal charges,

448
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,960
but he also decided that he wanted to
to cooperate with the USA team.

449
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,760
The irony of organizations
is that they want to have rules,

450
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,040
being the main one
that they don't go wild.

451
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,800
But that's what I do.

452
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:12,200
The impenetrable fortress
it starts to hurt like this.

453
00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:15,680
We learned of numerous murders

454
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,560
that we could use
in the case of organized crime.

455
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,840
One victim was Mark Byrd,
possible future member in Region 5,

456
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,800
San Antonio region.

457
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:40,160
Mark Byrd was eliminated
by the Brotherhood's team of performers.

458
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,160
They tortured him
and they shot him repeatedly.

459
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,120
After killing Mark Byrd,

460
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,840
the team obliged
to bring proof of the crime.

461
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:57,840
A finger had to be amputated.

462
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:04,160
When they were returning, they realized
that they had lost their finger.

463
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,520
He had to return to the corpse
to cut another finger.

464
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,480
They took a picture with their finger
and sent it to the Houston group.

465
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,640
I knew the culprit was Larry Bryan,
the general of area five.

466
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,720
Larry Bryan was in custody
when it all happened.

467
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,760
Throughout the investigation, I monitored
always the phones.

468
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Criminal organizations
speak in code

469
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,600
but if you research them enough
and listen to everything they communicate,

470
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,960
you understand their code.

471
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,600
I talked to you
I talked to Pancho.

472
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,160
Then he heard CC.

473
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,640
Then he was the pet of Stainless
at the post office in Rye, Texas.

474
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:04,120
I talked to Pancho last night.
I think they're going to send someone there.

475
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,240
A trustworthy man.

476
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,600
He will find Stainless,
to see what he does.

477
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,440
We have to stop this shit.

478
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,760
It was an important step. The proof
that the generals acted organized

479
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,560
and communicated beyond
by the borders of the jurisdiction.

480
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,960
I couldn't get better evidence
for the case of organized crime.

481
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,640
After almost 3.5 years of investigation,

482
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:38,200
we had arrested almost 40 members
of the Brotherhood, throughout the state of Texas.

483
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,120
It was the largest RICO investigation
of Texas history.

484
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,680
On November 12, 2012,

485
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,000
we were ready to arrest
the remaining members at liberty.

486
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:51,760
On the morning of the action,

487
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,720
I and other analysts were
at ATF Houston headquarters.

488
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,520
Our teams had scattered
the entire state of Texas.

489
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,840
We had teams in the region
Dallas-Fort Worth.

490
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,440
We had teams in San Antonio,

491
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,120
to Houston, to Beaumont.

492
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,000
I asked the teams to perform
arrests between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

493
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,840
Today, federal agents launched
a statewide action.

494
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,000
34 suspects were arrested

495
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,120
in the case against
of the Arian Brotherhood of Texas.

496
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,640
The prison gang is accused
of murder, kidnapping and arms trafficking.

497
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,200
12 members of the Brotherhood
they are condemned

498
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,520
for violent kidnapping
of Fredrick "Trip" Jones.

499
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,520
Carl Carver, Cameron "Mojo" Frazier,
Brent Stalsby and April Flannigan

500
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,480
are convicted of murder
to Christy Brown and Dave Mitchamore.

501
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,400
Seven members of the Brotherhood
they are condemned

502
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,680
for killing Mark Byrd.

503
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,840
The largest RICO investigation
of Texas history

504
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,320
led to the conviction
has more than 70 members

505
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,600
of the Aryan Brotherhood in Texas.

506
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,720
In November 2012,
I locked up all the generals of the Brotherhood.

507
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,960
But the Brotherhood was beginning to recover.

508
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,560
It was time to arrest him
on the last general left free,

509
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,880
James "Skitz" Sampsell,

510
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,560
one of the most bloodthirsty
and violent members of the Brotherhood.

511
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,080
We had to arrest him
on James Sampsell.

512
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,120
A woman risked her life
to catch him.

513
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,160
I asked her: "Do you want to become
secret informant?"

514
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,840
You don't want to go
such a life.

515
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,120
It's dangerous, it's violent.

516
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,880
"Skitz" said that if he found out
that she was a confidential informant,

517
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,360
he was going to torture and kill her.
