🚨Exclusive: Hood County Survivors Say Sheriff Roger Deeds’ First Election Victory Came at the Price of Destroyed Ch*ld R*pe Evidence (A THREAD🧵 )

🚨 Sheriff Deeds recently (and rightfully) came under fire for charging and arresting a man for posting a meme on a satire page.

As I said before, I will be releasing MULTIPLE stories regarding Sheriff Deeds; this will be the first in a multi-series of coverups and corruption within the SO and Hood County.

DISCLAIMER: I have interviewed both victims and have obtained full permission from Kirstie Bothwell and Devyn Nicole Claybourn to release this story.

Kirstie’s story is in part 1. Devyn’s story is in the thread (it is very disturbing for some readers)

“She [Devyn] was my stepsister at one time and then became my stepmom. However, she is a victim just like I am, and we went through this together. To know what Deeds did, you need some backstory.” - Kirstie Bothwell

GRANBURY – Two women were reportedly s*xually ab*sed as children by the same man, former officer Christopher Bothwell. Kirstie stated that the evidence that could have put their abuser behind bars vanished the moment Roger Deeds won his election.

The alleged cover-up happened between 2004 and 2008, the exact same election cycle in which Deeds defeated incumbent Gene Mayo and took office.

“My father [Christopher Bothwell] was FUNDING Deeds’s campaign, and it was the first campaign he ran and won.”

According to Kirstie, her father began moIesting her from age 3 to 13. This occurred in Tarrant and Kaufman counties. When she was 13, Bothwell met and later married the mother of another girl. He began abusing that child in Hood County. By the mid-2000s, Bothwell had divorced the stepmother and entered an openly s*xual relationship with his former stepdaughter – the second victim – while she was still a juvenile.

In approximately 2006–2008, the first victim, now a teenager, returned to Granbury and discovered the relationship.

“When I came back around and I found out he was in a relationship with my stepsister, my father gave me everything I wanted just to keep my mouth shut.”

Kirstie recorded Bothwell discussing it in graphic detail and took the recording, plus other evidence to law enforcement.

At the time the report was made:
- Rob Christian was Hood County District Attorney
- Investigator Robert Young handled the case
- Roger Deeds was in the middle of his first campaign for sheriff
- Bothwell was openly hosting Deeds, Mayo, and other local power brokers at his home.
- Bothwell was funding Roger Deed’s campaign.

“After Deeds won as sheriff with my father’s money, the investigation was stopped, and all of the key and major evidence, like r*pe kits and recordings, were destroyed and lost. The case was dropped. The judge that dismissed this case was Judge Walton.”

“I just find it funny that he will arrest someone on felony charges for posting a meme but let a ped*phile go free after s*xually abusing children because of money, politics, and “brotherhood.”

Kirstie says she no longer cares about personal exposure; they simply want the paper trail to speak before any more evidence “disappears.”

“My father is a free man and shouldn’t be … and Sherriff Deeds assisted in that.”

We have sent open records requests for campaign-finance reports from the 2004–2008 cycles. Meanwhile, I have pulled the past charges for Christopher Bothwell, which align with both victim’s stories. Devyn has also provided her civil legal team’s timeline of events.

The image you see is of Bothwell wearing Devyn’s underw*ar on his head when she was approximately 1 5.

The bottom photo is him with Devyn when she was 1 4. As you can see, her hair is cut short. This is discussed in the next thread.

The following timeline was Prepared by a civil legal team for Devyn in June 24, 2025. I am providing a copy that was given to to me by Devyn, as well as my own summary of the report.

Police Officer Christopher Bothwell was a colleague of the victim’s mother (we are keeping the mother anonymous), in the Willow Park Police Department; his own father was the chief of police. According to the detailed chronology prepared by the victim’s civil legal team, the abuse spanned from 2004 until her escape in 2011 and left lifelong scars of complex PTSD.

Devyn first met Bothwell through her mother. Their first private encounter in Burleson, Texas, quickly turned inappropriate when the officer began asking the 13-year-old highly s*xual questions.

That summer, during a family trip to South Padre Island, Bothwell allegedly initiated unwanted sexual touching and gr00ming behavior.

The abuse escalated at the family’s home near Kings Creek Golf Club in Kemp, Texas, and later in a Burleson apartment Bothwell leased. Devyn describes repeated forced s^xual acts, including oral contact facilitated by sandwich bags, so severe that she cut her hair short to prevent him from grabbing it.

A trip to Miami, orchestrated to keep Devyn from reacting to Bothwell’s marriage proposal to her mother, became another occasion for abuse. Devyn confided in a friend’s mother, Marcie, but the disclosure did not stop the pattern.

2004-2005 - At this time, Devyn was 13. After Bothwell and Erica Moore purchased a house in Granbury, Texas, the abuse continued unabated. Around this time, Bothwell’s own daughter, Kirstie, made an outcry that triggered a CPS inquiry into Devyn’s relationship with the officer.

Trips to Cozumel and the Dominican Republic provided new settings for alleged s*xual assaults. Devyn says her hair was bleached blonde because Bothwell preferred it that way.

When she was 14, One of the most violent incidents occurred while watching the movie *The Goonies*. Bothwell allegedly pinned the 14-year-old down in a non-consensual assault that caused v*ginal bleeding and profound trauma.

The abuse became almost daily, sometimes in view of open windows while her mother cooked nearby. Bothwell allegedly underwent a vasectomy out of fear Devyn would become pregnant. In one chilling episode, he reportedly held a g*n to Erica Moore’s head in front of Devyn and whispered that he would hire the best defense attorneys if she shot her mother, claiming an insanity plea would succeed.

2006–2007: Wedding Night As*ault and Escalating Control (Ages 15–16)

In April 2006, Bothwell married Erica Moore in Jamaica. Devyn, then 15, served as maid of honor. On the wedding night, while speaking with the victim’s uncle just feet away, Bothwell allegedly assaulted Devyn on the resort patio, hidden by bushes.

REPORT - A Navy Veteran and Activist in Granbury, Texas, was Arrested for Posting a Satirical Meme in a Locally Known Satirical Facebook Group.

Kolton Krottinger was arrested on November 5th for felony “online impersonation—name/persona to create page” in the third degree. However, after a quick investigation, it became clear that no page was ever created, and the erroneous complaint—made by a local candidate whom I will refer to as “Karen”—should be immediately dropped.

Kolton posted the meme from his satire page to a group meant to call out local corruption. Another individual had taken a screenshot of Tina Brown’s Facebook page and photoshopped it to make it appear as if she was supporting candidate Monica Brown. This was an obviously satirical meme to the local audience, who knew that Tina “Karen” Brown has no love for the former Granbury ISD school board candidate, Monica Brown.

According to the complaint, Tina “Karen” Brown went directly to the sheriff and stated that “the public is being misled by the post as to what *her* actual beliefs are”—a disingenuous statement considering the Granbury locals’ understanding of politics and a clearly marked satire page.

“It’s for posting a meme,” his defense attorney, Rob Christian, told The Dallas Express. “After 25 years of experience as a district attorney and criminal defense attorney, I have never seen anyone get arrested for engaging in political speech.”

Kolton runs a mental health retreat for veterans and first responders at his ranch. His sole income is from his social media. Kolton has been honored by Governor Greg Abbott, who named him an honorary admiral in the Texas Navy. His work at the ranch has been honored and recognized by the entire Texas Senate through a resolution created by Senator Birdwell (Senate Resolution 421). His ranch is a proclaimed Purple Heart ranch, nationally recognized. He hosts thousands of people at his ranch yearly.

For the last several months, Kolton has been the political target of the left and right alike for his loud conservative voice in Granbury. Even his organization has fallen under fire by his opposition, with absolutely no merit. His opposition was looking for any reason to silence him, and they found it through a local “Karen’s” complaint.

Monica Brown, a true patriot and conservative in Granbury, spoke at commissioner court about Kolton, condemning the sheriffs office for its actions.

(It starts off quiet but gets louder)

“What has happened to Granbury?! … “this is total nonsense!”

Monica Brown’s original Facebook.

Tina “Karen” Brown hates Monica so much, that making it seem as if she supported Monica Brown enraged her to the point of going to the police to have someone arrested.

Karmelo Anthony Case Update: A Thread - VIOLATION OF GAG ORDER?

Last night, in a sick and insane twist of events, Tiffney McAdoo—aka Tiffney “Billions,” the woman who has doxxed witnesses, threatened children, consorted with pedophiles, and incited harm against the Metcalf family, me, and anyone who refuses to “fall in line” (including Anthony supporters)—held a live on TikTok with Drew Anthony, Karmelo Anthony’s father, as a guest.

Despite the current and active gag order.

Quick recap:** On April 2, 2025, Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old student at Memorial High School, was fatally stabbed by Karmelo Anthony, a Centennial High School student of the same age, during a track meet in Frisco, Texas. I’ve been reporting on this case from the beginning.*

Many assumed last night’s live was another Tiffney “Billions” scam (she was, after all, previously convicted of scamming), but I have now independently confirmed through multiple sources that this was indeed Drew Anthony on her live panel.

Tiffney is a self-proclaimed advocate and activist for the Anthony family. She has participated in and hosted several live panels with convicted ped0phile Morris Dwayne Turner, another convicted predator known as “Constitutional”, and long-term career criminal Joshua Crane, who steals photos of people’s children and s*xually edits them in an effort to extort parents and force them to pay him to remove the photos from his accounts. (I’ve reported on much of this previously and all reports can be found with receipts in my highlights).

Last night, Tiffney begged for nearly half an hour for viewers to share and like her live so she could reach at least 100 people before bringing in her “special guest.” Once Drew Anthony joined, she immediately begged for money and gifts. Many viewers—including her ped0phile following—sent Drew gifts via the TikTok app. Drew did speak toward the end and said, “Thank y’all so much for what y’all doin’.”

Shortly after the live, a popular podcaster on TikTok who goes by “BayBoy” went over the events of her live. He noted that Drew was being gifted by Ped0s, and wondered if Drew would “allow those people near his kid”.

(Wait for the end)

During BayBoy’s show, Drew Anthony popped up on BayBoy’s live panel, and only had a few words to say. It was a surprise to everyone as they heard Drew say to Mark Anthony, “Fix this”.

These words came as a shock to many as well as Mark Anthony, who has also been a victim of Tiffney Billions and her smear tactics. Just weeks ago, Tiffney went live and falsely accused Mark of m0lesting his own daughter. Then when she was proven wrong, she buckled down and accused him of burning his own child.

Insanely enough, Mark Anthony was a long term friend of Drew and a Karmelo Anthony supporter. Which means that no one is free from being targeted and smeared by Tiffney Billions.

🚨NEW🚨: DALLAS COUNTY - I have an update regarding the ongoing exclusive I released this morning on Destiny Pope, the little girl who was tortured and left to d*e in a suitcase by her guardian; a story that has been buried by authorities.

According to newly released documents released to us today from Texas DFPS, Destiny Pope was removed from the home of her mother due to horrific abuse and an attempt on hers and her brother’s lives. According to documentation, the mother, Danielle Jennings, went live on Facebook and claimed she had “k*lled her children,” who were 11 and 2, as well as their 11-year-old cousin. (The two-year-old was Destiny.) She sliced Destiny’s and her brother’s wrists and had cut them with a sharp object. Jennings received seven years’ probation in a plea deal.

The “foster parent” aka Lori Shepherd, who m*rdered Destiny, is presumably a relative of the family, according to the documents, and was granted permanent guardianship of Destiny Pope in 2018.

According to the response to our open records request, one of Destiny’s siblings reported being “afraid to go home” and claimed that the guardian, Lori Shepherd, was going to k*ll him. Law enforcement completed a welfare check and found inappropriate things on the sibling’s laptop. The case was closed with “no concerns found in the home.” In 2023, just two years later, Destiny Pope was found deceased in a suitcase.

The documents also reveal a case from 2004 involving Lori Shepherd’s own infant. The four-month-old was hospitalized due to a brain bleed presumably from blunt force trauma. Lori and the father couldn’t explain the injury. Abuse was never confirmed. Lori completed parenting classes and the case was closed.

DFPS knew there was a past of abuse for Lori Shepherd. Now we know why this story is being buried. This is the utter failure of our Texas justice system and the Department of Family Services.

(Exclusive in the thread)

Open record responses released to us just a few hours ago.

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨: DALLAS COUNTY - Little girl tortured and left to d*e in suitcase by foster parent. Complete coverup by authorities and Texas DFPS: K*ller is walking free on lowered bail.

The following is one of the most egregious and obvious coverups that I have ever covered in my journalistic career. This investigation has been difficult. But it is time that the public knows the full story of what happened to Destiny Pope. Before you read this story, I encourage you to quickly search for any public media reports, obituaries, public announcements, or even m*rder charges pertaining to this event. You will not find it.

The only mention of Destiny Pope can be found on an obscure website called "When Home Is the Danger", a legit Texas Public Radio (TPR) investigation about Texas child-abuse fatalities. And “Lives Cut Short” website. TPR's Pulitzer-Center-funded project When Home Is the Danger, a database built from Texas DFPS (state child-welfare) records child fatalities. However, her k*ller is not mentioned, and after we did a thorough search through Texas DFPS database for 2023 and 2024, seven year-old Destiny Pope is NOWHERE to be found. Without the k*llers name, we never would have been able to connect the dots on this story. Thank you in advance to the source who was brave enough to came forward.

I started this investigation with just a name and an address given to me by a “fact-checking” whistleblower that wishes to remain anonymous. But also wishes for justice for this little girl. The following is what we uncovered.

According to the data site, which obtained information through an open record request, an investigation began in 2023 after a fatal event when law enforcement officials responded to a 911 call and discovered the deceased child with signs of burn marks on different parts of her body and vomit on the floor of the home.

However, the site never mentioned the name of her attacker. Why? Because the m*rderer’s name and charge is being hidden unless you know the exact name to search for and you are able to dig into Dallas County Records. Until today, her attacker was not known to media. That changes now.

What happened to Destiny is difficult to read. Proceed with caution…

According to readily public info, IF you know the name to search, an individual named Lori Shepherd was charged with 1. child abandonment causing bodily injury and 2. injury to a child, and was arrested on 1/31/2023. There was no media, no coverage, not even an obituary for little Destiny Pope.

Lori, with no accountability to the public, quickly slipped through the cracks. And Destiny Pope’s name was never mentioned. Lori Shepherd was was given $300,000 bond. Her bond was the modified a month later and lowered to $200,000 with conditions. Lori made bond on March 1, 2023 and walked free. A third charge of capitol m*rder was quietly added in 2024. However, this was never added to her charges publicly (not even on the CheckPeople background search website) and she is STILL walking free. We were only able to find the m*rder charge by manually inputting her personal information to the Dallas county court website. We have also found an order which allows Lori to attend church.

We have requested information from Cedar Hill PD, Dallas PD, the medical examiner and Duncanville PD. We are patiently waiting for responses. However, Dallas PD has responded with “no records found”. This response is a clear inaccuracy, considering we KNOW that a subpoena has been sent to Dallas PD from the defense.

What happened to Destiny? - According to the “when home is in danger” database, which obtains info through open record requests, the Department’s investigation determined that Destiny Pope was being physically abused at the hands of her foster parent. Four of the deceased child’s cousins in the home were forensically interviewed and made outcries of witnessing physical abuse the deceased child endured while in the home. The guardian removed Destiny from school and started to homeschool her in the weeks leading up to her demise. The cousins reported the child would often get in trouble for things such as stealing candy in the home. As a result, the child would receive excessive punishment such as having to drink hot sauce, sitting in a bathtub of bleach, and being locked inside a suitcase located in a closet. The deceased child was also observed in the home with marks on her face. While locked in the suitcase, one of the cousins reported in the hours leading up to the child’s passing, the child was screaming she could not breathe and threw up in the suitcase while being hit with a belt by the guardian. The deceased child’s older sibling did not make an outcry of abuse or neglect and he declined to speak about his home life while in foster care. The mother of the cousins in the home disclosed being told stories regarding the treatment the deceased child would receive. The child was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The injuries noted include widespread blunt force injuries in multiple stages of healing including open wounds, subcutaneous hemorrhage in multiple areas, and subcutaneous and muscle hemorrhage in her left arm. She had a linear abrasion to her lower back, a patterned scar to her left upper back and left upper arm, open wounds/scar to the left side of her face, and abrasions to the right side of her face.

According to medical, not all the injuries occurred within the three days leading up to the child’s death.

The medical examiner completed an autopsy and listed the cause of death as asphyxia in the setting of confinement, compounded by blunt force injuries and early acute bronchopneumonia and the manner of d*ath as homicide.

The Department consulted child abuse medical professionals with Forensic Assessment Center Networks which concluded the medical findings are consistent with repeated blunt force trauma and fatal child physical abuse.

Texas Report: Karmelo Anthony Advocate Befriends and Supports Convicted Ped0phile - Frisco ISD School Admin Allows Man on S*x Offender Registry to View Footage of Minors?!

Tiffney Billions, also known as Tiffney McAdoo, a self-proclaimed advocate and activist for the Anthony family, has not only participated in several live panels with convicted ped0phile Morris Dwayne Turner but also brought him to the TikTok platform to share his personal account of security footage previously shown by Frisco ISD. The security footage of the st*bbing of Austin Metcalf was once available via open records requests and could be viewed at the Frisco ISD administration building by anyone who requested access.

Reportedly, multiple individuals accused Tiffney Billions of not having seen the footage, as her account of the events did not align with those of others who had viewed the video, including myself. (They were correct.) To “prove herself,” she knowingly brought a man who is permanently on the Texas s*x offender registry to present his account of the footage. Suspiciously, his account aligned more closely with hers. After reviewing the Frisco ISD-supplied list of known open records viewers, his name does appear on the document as one of the requesters who viewed the footage of high school-age children.

Billions has been seen in live panels multiple times with not only Turner on the panel or in the chat as a supported commenter but also with Joshua Crane, a man I previously reported on for s*xually editing photos of infants, posting them on social media, and extorting parents who demanded he remove them.

Ironically, during one of these live panels, Billions accused an innocent man of m0lesting his own child—a false story that I quickly debunked. During her unhinged and false accusations, she had the participation of both convicted individuals and predators in her live panel.

In 2017, Morris Dwayne Turner drove more than 200 miles to pick up a 13-year-old child in Austin and took the victim to a hotel to engage in s*xual activity. Turner had been harassing the 13-year-old before picking him up from school. He traveled from Little Elm to Austin to retrieve the child and took him from Travis County to a hotel in Williamson County. The victim reported falling asleep after Turner made s*xual advances and was violated while asleep.

Turner took a plea deal, which resulted in the dismissal of trafficking charges. He was convicted of indecency with a child/s*xual contact, receiving three years in prison and lifetime registration as a sex offender.

Disturbingly, a background check was not required for Turner, a convicted predator, to submit an open records request to Frisco ISD to view the footage of minors.

I have notified Texas House Representative Daniel Alders of this loophole in the law, and I am hopeful that it will be addressed in the next Texas legislative session.

All receipts are in the thread.

List of known viewers of the footage, from Frisco ISD.

Morris was booked in July for failing to re-register as a s*x offender.
