my god. yeah, it s pretty he is secluded. if you didn t know what to look for, you would miss that sign, for sure. you would miss it, right. there s just a void on the side of the road, it is just a dark void. it was going on 11:00 p.m., february 14th, 2019, when detective franklin found the place. and so this is the entrance to the park where richard was killed. that night the cops lit up the crime scene surrounded by a clearing of bare soil, sand and muddy dirt. we got this place lit up like it s christmas time, but if these lights weren t on you can t see your hand in front of your face. it was like that that night? yes, sir, it was. we ll spare you the gruesome images of richard schoeck lying dead beside his truck. suffice to say he had been shot five times, three times through his body, twice in the face. he lay on his back near the open door of his truck. it was probably a pretty ugly
i didn t hear you. i don t know what to tell you. juan reyes was like a brick wall about the murder. didn t do it, didn t know who did. really? the polygraph, said former detective chief tripp, told a different story. the polygraph results indicated that he was not telling the truth or he was not being truthful to those relevant questions posed to him about the homicide. questions such as, did you shoot richard schoeck? do you know for sure of anyone who shot richard schoeck? were you present when richard schoeck was shot? you know, he knows where richard is going to be. he s in an affair with stacey. he s not at home at 3:00, 4:00 in the morning the night of the murder. he shows up the next morning, altered his appearance. so when you put all of that together, yeah, there s a lot of ringing bells there. juan reyes insists he was home with his family when richard schoeck was murdered, but will juan s wife back up his
he said, no. he said, no, i m sorry i exaggerated and i m sorry that i said those things. i blew things out of proportion, mom. stacey was wrong. there was no abuse. now that s a hard thing to do with too because now he has guilt. but was the motive she admitted real or was a more venal truth still withheld? there would be an answer, just not quite yet. we asked for an interview with stacey but prison rules wouldn t allow it, so her attorney spoke on her behalf. she understands completely what she did. she understands it is her fault richard schoeck is dead. she doesn t have excuses. stacey check pleaded guilty to murder. reggie coleman did the same. la neat raw ross stood trial and was found guilty, and all of them were sentenced to life in prison without parole.
it said. was that a code? it was. code for it s done, he s dead. almost there now. all he needed was a money trail to move murder for hire. so bank records this time. it was the same tedious work as the cellphone records. guess what? that $10,000 that stacey transferred to lynitra supposedly from a real estate account for home repairs? only $1,800 went into that. the rest went to lynitra for cash. lynitra wrote reggie a check for $700. all within three weeks of the murder. that s the whole thing, it had come together at that point. reggie is my trigger man. the middle person is lynitra ross. and the mastermind? stacey. three months after the valentine s murder of richard schoeck, lynitra ross i need you aware of what the charge is, malice murder. reggie coleman and lynitra
richard schoeck, 46 years old, had been escorted suddenly from this life as he waited for his wife at a secluded georgia park on valentine s day. there was an outside chance, of course, that it would turn out to be a simple case of murder by mistaken identity. maybe richard showed up at the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe he witnessed something he wasn t supposed to see. but when stacey told the story of her affair with this guy, juan reyes, the cops knew they were listening to a motive as old as time. jealous boyfriend gets rid of the competition. the cops showed up at juan s house that very night. we knocked on windows. we walked around the house. we never could get anybody to the door. when you say knocked on the door, politely?
