went to such great lengths to dig it up. so when i approached robert again with this information, he decided he didn t want to talk about it anymore. so at this point as one of the people who decides what lockup stories get covered on extended stays and which ones don t i let the crew know that i felt like we probably wouldn t be covering robert s story. there was just too big of a gap between what he was telling us and what authorities were saying. but as so often happens it turned out there was another aspect to robert s story. coming up robert wolford had a brother in the jail named bobby wolford. we encounter not just one but two more wolfords in jail. and later, the story of the missing girl named amanda, who makes national news and stuns millions. america s electricity m cleaner- burning natural gas. and no one produces more of it than exxonmobil.
the way we encounter inmates we will meet people as we travel throughout the jail. so this was the first time i spoke with robert. so when he told me that another inmate had written the letter it seemed like a plausible situation. authorities say wolford had a motivation for changing his story and claiming he had nothing to do with the letter. their unsuccessful search resulted in a new criminal charge for him. they saying i obstructed the fbi and cleveland police investigation. wolford was charged with obstruction of justice. he pled not guilty but will remain in the jail until the case was resolved. if found guilty he could have several more years added to the 26 he s already serving in prison. i got a saying for them. the glove don t fit you must acquit. going to trial. that s o.j. i think we all remember o.j. that s o.j. let s go to trial. while wolford denied any knowledge of what happened to the missing girl named amanda,
other since they was little kids, so that just brought us closer even quicker. but when they first met in jail, bobby didn t even know who sheldon was. i didn t know it was sheldon. i thought it was one of the funniest names i ever heard, to be honest with you. it sounds like something you would call a turtle or something. this family saga was about to take yet another turn. andrea had grown up with bobby, but it had been a long time since she had seen her half brother, robert. the last time i seen robert i was about 7 years old. when i heard that he had went to prison for murder, i couldn t really bring myself to believe it, but at the same time they pretty much grew up like us, i mean, the drug life, getting in trouble in school, run away from home. andrea hadn t seen her brother robert for many, many years. we carry around a camera to take i.d. photos. so what we decided, with
oh, it s a letter from my brother robert. hey, bro, how are you doing in here? i hope you re doing good in here. i know it sucks being in here and you never really got the chance to bond with me. and now wolford had become pen pals with his estranged sister andrea, who was also in the jail. so lockup came and interviewed me a couple of times. they showed me your picture and i broke down. i honestly didn t know i would do that but for some reason it hit me hard when i seen your picture. rekindling his relationship with his sister might seem like good news. but in prison, robert had become a member of the white supremacist gang, the aryan brotherhood. and andrea was engaged to a co-defendant, sheldon hickman. we re family no matter what choices we make or how many times we mess up. a white supremacist has a sister who s engaged to a black man. in the prison world that is not acceptable. did you know your brother was
like i don t sit here call the black dude n words. i just don t believe with a white woman messing with a black man, white man messing with i don t believe in interraces. i believe we should all stick together as one kind. and when robert learned of andrea s relationship, he felt it could cause him big problems with his gang when he returned to prison. me being an aryan, none of my family members are supposed to have anything to deal with blacks. come to find out my sister got one. in the prison world that s a very big deal. and that actually puts robert in a certain amount of jeopardy. so now i got a lot of explaining to do when i get down to prison. coming up, robert wolford makes a decision. and they wrote you up for fighting. i don t know if y all was fighting, i don t know if y all was horseplaying. tell me what happened. as if things couldn t get worse for donald coleman, when we saw him a few weeks later things had taken a horrible turn for him.
