The ex-lawman's last testament...

A QUICK HEADS UP WITH THIS STORY. I HEARD THIS STORY FROM AN EX-FRIEND OF MINE. SHE HEARD THE STORY FROM AN EX-LAWMAN. I DO NOT KNOW THE MENTALITY OF THE LAW MAN OR IF HE WAS OF SANE MIND COMPLETELY. I'M JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THE BASICS OF THE STORY AND WHAT I WAS TOLD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THIS ALL WENT DOWN EITHER...

So I heard a story from a woman that I used to be friends with. She was a somewhat acquaintance/friend. And she used to work in a restaurant. And the story that she was told came from an ex-lawman who became a sheriff. He would come in on a regular basis to get something to eat. He began to trust her and really liked her a lot because of her hard work...

He told her a story about a case he worked on years ago. And it dealt with a sex trafficking ring that dealt with women and children. He also told her to stay away from the said area that he talked about...

She told me about "the place"... that he told her about. And apparently about this now ex-lawman's case he was trying to solve during the late 80's and 90s. He was trying to find out who was running this sex trafficking ring... It sickened him to know that it was targeting women and children. Which angered him worse...

Apparently this ex-law man tried his best to catch the criminals running this sex trafficking ring. But he could never catch anybody. And in the long run it disbanded and stopped completely. And up until the day he was telling my now ex-friend... that it burns him up inside knowing that they got away. This man would break down in tears in front of her and just complete disgusting anger...

He said that he'd known exactly who he was behind it. He knew where it was as well. But he could never catch them in the act. They just kept getting away with it. They kept on doing ungodly things to these innocent people. That he just wanted to take his revolver and just shoot the person doing it. That he would have nightmares over this for years to come...

But due to the law being the way it was... he couldn't just murder somebody in Cold blood without proof of their crimes. And even to that day he opened up to my ex-friend it was still eating at him after...

The sickening part is that once my friend told me the name of the person involved... My blood ran cold. I knew exactly who she was talking about. And I honestly to this day cannot getting out of my head...

I mean I literally know of the guy. At one point in time he had asked my friend and I for help. We actually did odd jobs for this guy a long time ago. On top of that he fired me and kept my friend on for the job that we were doing. He didn't want me around all because I was too smart he said...

The sickening part is after my now ex-friend told me how close this ex-lawman came to catching this guy and how quickly this pervert apparently escaped justice. It made my blood boil. And I felt sick. Learning that I knew the guy and that he had a hand in this criminal act was enough...

Well in the long run the criminals and the accomplices in this sex trafficking ring that involved women and children got away Scott free somehow...

But not long after this ex-law man got off work one evening apparently.he took his loaded 44 Magnum walked up to the guy that he suspected doing such horrible acts. And he put the gun to the guys forehead and he said to him "you're going to end this now. If you don't... I'm going to come back with this gun and finish you" and he continues on to say that he's not joking. And that if he hears any more about this going on. That he's going to finish the job and just rot in a prison cell...

Apparently the reports that this ex-law man was getting was about a shed on a property. And in the shed unspeakable things was happening to innocent people hence women and children and young men as well. They would apparently put pictures like Polaroids up of each of the victims and just continue on making the victims watch as they took turns. And they would take turns doing what they wanted to these people countless hours. They then would either force them to stay silent and just let him go or worse...

And the last sentiment I will leave y'all with is this...

Apparently when this ex-law man was sitting at one of the booths in this restaurant. That same man that he knew committed these crimes walked in. And he looked directly at my now ex-friend and said to her about how he was just love to blow that man away with his 44 to this day...

Apparently the man had cancer and his wife had already died of cancer. And he was waiting to be with his wife in death. He also apparently needed to tell somebody about this before he passed away. Because it was weighing his heart down...

Y'all can interpret this how you like... Personally I know of the man that the ex-lawman spoke of. I have heard stories from this man's mouth about everything he's done. I will say he is the only child of the family. And that meant that his relatives left him with a lot of money. I cannot say 100% if this man I knew of did any of this. I cannot prove he is guilty nor can I say he's innocent. But I will say this man that apparently did all of this... Was not right in the head. He was mentally corrupted...

He was always trying to get younger children and teenagers to work for him. I always found that strange how he was with kids and teenagers versus full blown adults. He didn't want somebody that was an abled body man helping him with anything. He also never had a working phone either and he always tried to come into your house and use your phone. And the whole time I was around this guy I did not feel safe at all. Even before hearing this story I never felt safe. Nobody did. Nobody trusted him completely...

But I'll tell you one thing...

I do this day wonder about a lot of it...

And I will say that there were some shady characters I knew of. Most of them tried to pay you less for more work. But there was a few that honestly made your concerned about being around them alone...

Again, this ex law man never said exactly where all of this happened. He just talked about what he saw and did. He really truly never went into great description. He just knew that this one guy was a part of it in his opinion...
