you knew her? i had family vacationed with her quite a bit. in fact, here they are in hawaii, james in the water, sarah there on the paddle board and there on another board was payton. i think i found a picture of her on facebook where she was pregnant so i called her and asked her. and she said it s none of my business, but if it s my husband s get over it. payton denied saying that, by the way. but when the baby was born, a very healthy and happy looking little boy, james and payton named him. bentley of all things. bentley, just like that expensive automobile james bought for sarah, then left in the garage with flattened tires. you can t make it up. it s weird. it s so strange. bentley. yeah. as you can see, he was the one who wanted the car and the
his name is james henrikson. james henrikson. he was the man who had gotten doug interested in the oil play in the first place. the man with his wife sarah were known as the barbie and ken of the oil patch. this guy worked for them. his name is rick airy. for lack of a better term they stuck out like a couple of turds in a punch bowl. well, one way to put it. james met sarah at a drive-thru coffee stand. she was a barista. what was he like? he was very cool, calm, collected, you know. older man, good-looking. it was fun. fun and we d always go out. he was nice. it was easy. i never thought i d ever marry him or go do business with him. but that s what she did. they moved to the oil patch in 2011, got married in minot, north dakota, and by 2013 he was the charismatic face of a major trucking operation called blackstone, and she was the blond on his arm and the senior
name and the show. chief tex hall as you might imagine was not pleased about any of that. he banished james from the reservation. but there was something near tex nor sarah knew just then, not just that the spokane cops were investigating sarah s wayward husband, out on the north dakota prairie, another law man had been poking around for more than a year, homeland security agent derek trudel had heard from a colleague about the missing casey clark, and the ripoff report and other possible crimes. he told me the story and it just sounded unbelievable, is what it did. he was hooked. by the time burbridge started showing up, trudel could tell him a thing or two about james henrikson. how would you describe him? he comes across as a, i mean, just. you re at a loss for words. you could say that he comes across as a used car salesman, but that s not fair to used car salesmen. the guy is just, he s a scum
eventually enough is enough, we helped him to the ground, put handcuffs on him. he s smiling up at me, and asked me, you know, like, hey, how are you. he instantly went into, like, trying to charm us. trying to pull a con on the cop. i don t know if he thought he was going to build rapport with me and a relationship and we were going to be buddies. bizarre, though the arrest was james henrikson was at least in custody, and sarah, no choice, they told her, had to stay in deep cover herself, hiding in a secret shelter, unable to call friends or even her parents, just in case the hit was still a go. i had a bunch of friends call the sheriff and the police and they were asking, they said, we think that he s had her killed, will you drive around and look in ditches, because no one was allowed to know. they wanted him to think that it had gone through to see what he would do. i can t imagine what it would be like for your family. it was hard for them.
believe is our shooter, and he has a to-do kill list in his car. you can t make this stuff up. suckow also had a storage unit where a surveillance camera picked up a white van pulling up soon after the murder. suckow had to be their shooter. the question was who put him up to it and why. suckow wouldn t tell them, refused to say a word, so then they got a search warrant for his phone. his contact list said james in md. jackpot. jackpot. that was the first time we had ever connected him with henrikson. james and sarah arrived to become the ken and barbie of the oil patch, and before long, one man is missing, another is dead, and the suspected hitman has james on speed dial. and as for sarah, there was a shock in store for her, too.
