🚨The following story was told by Michael Shane Daughtry, a J6 survivor.🚨
I'm going to relay it in the exact same way that he wrote it out. Just when you think his story cannot get crazier, it does. His story is one of full-on corruption, and he exposes names.
Thread starts here 👇
Prepare yourselves for this.
My name is Michael Shane Daughtry and this is my January 6th Story.
I was a Police Officer with SWAT and Sniper Certifications, 20+ years Police experience and over a thousand hours of training. I'm also a Master Gunsmith with a Federal Firearms License and a Gunsmithing Business with over 10 years experience.
On January 6th 2021, I traveled to Washington DC with my wife Tammie to watch the Trump Rally. As the rally was completing, the President of the United States told the crowd to go to the West Lawn and "peacefully" protest, which we did. As we arrived at the West Lawn, the police officers removed the barricades and waved us onto the West Lawn. I had video of this but the FBI later raided my home and confiscated this Video. I never went into the Capital Building or damaged any property but I did later observe people causing damage to the Capital Building so I took a few pictures of these people and then returned to my motel room, we returned home the next morning.
On January 16th, I was charged with trespassing on the West Lawn on January 6th even though the President had ask me to go there and the police had moved the barricades and waved me onto the West Lawn.
The FBI contacted me around midnight and asked me to turn myself into the Federal Marshalls at the Federal Courthouse in Macon by 9:00 am the next morning. I voluntarily turned myself into the Federal Marshalls at the Federal Courthouse in Macon Ga. Upon arrival I was advised by Federal Marshalls that Pelham Police Investigator Adam Lamb, Assistant Chief Rod Williams and Chief Mccormick had turned me in to the FBI after finding out I was in DC.
In 2020 I was working as a Police Officer for the Pelham Police Department and also owned a Firearms Gunsmithing Company named "Cazy Coon Armory" My business was named after my pet Raccoon that was named Rocket but we always called him "Crazy Ole Coon". On November 13th 2020, Pelham Police Department Investigator Adam Lamb had showed up to my home stating Police Cheif McCormack had fired me for having a Logo with a picture of a Racoon on it with the words "Crazy Coon Armory" telling me that the logo had the word "Coon" on it and that made it a Racist Logo. The police department said they didn't know I had an outside business with that name even though it was on my resume and on my application for employment. I had also worked on several of of the Pelham Police Department weapons including pistols and full auto rifles at Crazy Coon Armory.
The paperwork they asked me to sign stated I was being fired for being a Racist. I refused to sign this separation letter. After I was fired, without even being giving a chance to resign, I decided to expose the Pelham Police Department and it's very corrupt Chief for several of the crimes they had committed and were committing including insurance fraud, illegal gambling and cover ups. I was posting this corruption on my Facebook Page and the City of Pelhams Facebook Page every night which made the Police very angery and this was the reason for turning me into the FBI so they could silence me.
After the Marshalls read me this affidavit, I was put into a jail cell for several hours before being brought before a Federal Magistrate Judge. Even though I was a Law Enforcement Officer with no other criminal record, I was placed in handcuffs, leg irons and belly chains and was advised not to speak. And even though I'm a certified Law Enforcement Officer, have never been arrested or charged with any other crime in my life and had gotten up before daylight and driven over 100 miles to turn myself in, the judge advised me that I was a flight risk and ordered me to wear an ankle monitor, be place under House Arrest, placed on Pre Trial Probation, forced to post $25,000 bond and was placed on Tap 4 internet restrictions saying I couldn't use any computers our internet. At that time I was not allowed to make a plea and was not allowed to plea until over 18 months later.
I was appointed a public defender without even being asked. I had a very experienced federal attorney that was willing to take my case for free but I was advised that I could not have an attorney of my choosing and could only hire an attorney from the Washington DC District that was certified to take cases in federal court in DC. The only attorney I could find meeting these requirements wanted over $100,000 plus $10,000 per hearing which I had 5, which would have been a total of $150,000.00 and my case isn't even over yet.
Upon my release from jail late on January 16th, I returned home where my home and firearms business was immediately raided by Federal Agents that were waiting at my property. Numerous Federal Agents searched my home and property without a warrant and all my weapons and ammo were confiscated from my home and from my licensed firearms business, all for a crime that I would not lose my 2nd ammendment rights even if I were convicted.
I was forced, with threat of prison, to give Federal Agents:
*My Email Passwords and User Info with written permission to access these accounts.
*My Bank Account Passwords
*My Bank Account Numbers with written permission to access these accounts.
*My Safe Deposit Box Info with written permission to search this box
*All my Social Media User Names and Passwords with written permission to access accounts.
*I was not allowed to change any password or information without permission from the Federal Government.
*I'm not allowed to take out any new lines of credit without prior Government approval.
*I was forced to swear under oath that I did not have any money, firearms or other items buried anywhere or have any storage units.
*I was forced to swear under oath that I did not have any photographs or videos hidden or buried.
*I Was not allowed to possess any phone, camera or recording devices other than the one phone I was allowed by probation to have and the FBI took that phone the next day and kept it for weeks.
*I was forced, with threat of prison, to fill out a financial statement listing:
*My Checking account balances and passwords
*My Savings account balance and passwords
*Credit Card Balance, and account information and password.
*My vehicle loan information and value
*My Vehicle Tag #, Year, Make & Model
*My home loan information and home and property value.
*The amount of cash on hand.
*The value of my clothes.
*The value of my home furnishings.
*Names, Addresses, Birthdays and Social Security Numbers of all my family members.
*Names, phone numbers and Addresses of my friends.
*Names, Addresses and Birthdays of any Ex Wives and Children.
Early the next morning Federal agents confiscated all my FFL files including my FFL Log Book and 4473 files. Later that day, my home was raided again by Federal Agents who confiscated my phone and searched all my computers and electronic devices. My phone was not returned for 2 weeks. I was under court order to not use any other phone or computer so I was without any communication with friends, family or my attorneys for two weeks. This also gave the Federal Government access to all my email and text message communications between my attorney and myself.
I was then forced to pay for home phone service and to pay for phone monitoring services and monthly fees for my ankle monitor.
Approximately a year later my home was again searched without a warrant and without any explanation and I was threated with a probation condition violation if I complained about the searches of my property and that a probation violation would have a 17 year felony sentence.
Three weeks later, my home was again raided and all my electronic devices including my phone, computer, thumb drives, hard drives and memory cards were searched then confiscated. My desktop computer was confiscated without explanation and Federal Agents said they didn't know when my computer would be returned. This computer contained all the files needed to file my taxes that month, all my social security files I needed to file for my retirement benefits and all my private correspondence between my attorneys. This computer also contained all the software needed to run my business. My computer and phone were not returned for two weeks. When I received my phone back I noticed that all my pictures and videos that I had taken January 6th were missing including the video evidence I had of the Capital Police removing barriers and waving me onto the West Lawn of the Capital that I was charged with trespassing on. I also noticed my FFL Digital Logbook had been removed from my computer and my FFL Logbook backup files had been removed from my Google Drive Account that I had been forced to give the login information. Federal Agents had already taken my hardcopy FFL Logbook and 4473 files in a previous search of my firearms business so they now had all my FFL Files not even leaving me a copy.
Even though I've only been charged with a non violent, misdemeanor crime, I've been on house arrest for almost two years for a crime that carries a maximum punishment of less than a year. I have not been allowed to plea in this case.
When I asked about my 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, I was advised by Federal Court Judge Randolph D. Moss that the Sixth Amendment had been suspended due to Covid-19 and the large number of arrest made from the January 6th incident. The Sixth Amendment also gives me the right to a Fair Trial, does this mean I didn't have the right to a fair trail either? I'm not sure how a Federal Court Judge can legally suspend one of the Bill of Rights.
In June 2022, I was told by prosecutors that I could plea guilty to Trespassing on the Grass or face going to court in Washington DC on several other (made up) felony charges that they knew I had not committed. So because I had no chance of a fair trail and facing several false charges, I was forced to plead guilty to Trespassing on the Restricted West Lawn. My plea agreement stated the maximum amount of probation I could receive would be one year but for this non violent misdemeanor crime, I was sentenced to:
1: Two additional months of House Arrest with Location Monitoring for a total of 18 months.
2: Three additional years of Supervised Federal Probation with travel restrictions for a total of 4 years and 8 months of Supervised Federal Probation even though the plea agreement I had signed stated a maximum of 1 year probation.
3: Firearm Confiscation and Restrictions in clear violation of my 2nd amendment rights.
4: Mandatory random drug testing even though I have no drug history. I have passed all these tests.
5: Mandatory mental health evaluation, even though I have no mental health history. I passed this test.
6: $525.00 in restitution for damage to the Capital Building even though I never entered or even touched the Capital Building. I paid this fine.
7: 60 hours of community service. I completed all the community service.
After my sentencing, my home was again searched by a Federal Probation Agent who searched backpacks, closed closets, closed drawers, including my girlfriends underwear drawers even though they had a court order advising that Probation Agents could only take illegal items that are "In Plain Sight".
My home has now been searched 7 times in 4 years. It's been searched by the FBI, the Federal Marshalls, the DOJ, and Federal Probation several times. Everyone always come wearing SWAT vests and heavily armed even though the only crime I've ever been accused of is illegally walking on the grass.
The government then, using a fake name and phone number, attempted to send firearms to my FFL business through www.guns. on two different occasions in one week. I recognized this persons voice as Assistant U.S. Attorney Graciela Rodriguez Lindberg. Another person then, using another fake name and number called asking if they could bring a firearm to my business for an appraisal. I recognized this person's voice as my probation officer even though he was giving me another name. I told the person that I could not look at the gun and advised him that my business was closed. I also lied and told this person that I was out of state at the time so they would leave me alone. I'm on travel restrictions and can't go out of state so my probation officer almost immediately called and asked my location and when I told him I was home, a person stating he had just spoken to to me about the gun appraisal arrived at my home even though I had refused to look at the gun and had told him I was out of state. This person had a different voice, was extremely pushy and would not take no for an answer even when I told him several more times that I couldn't look at his firearm. This person then opened his vehicle trunk stating he was going show the gun to me anyway. At this time I drove away on my off road buggy leaving him at my home. When I later returned home this person was gone.
I was then contacted by Police Officer Safety & Training Officials stating my law enforcement certification is being revoked for not reporting my arrest to them even though the federal government had taken my phones, computers, I had federal imposed internet restrictions and was on house arrest with no way to contact POST. Also the Federal Agents who confiscated my phones and computers advised me they would contact P.O.S.T. for me because of all my communication restrictions.
Now I've been contacted by the Department of Justice stating they were processing my request for a refund on my FFL renewal even though I haven't requested a refund. The D.O.J. then contacted me by phone and stated my Federal Firearms License is being revoked even though I haven't committed any crime that would prevent me from possessing a firearm or FFL.
Today I was contacted by my probation officer stating the ATF had contacted him stating that the ATF had requested me to send my FFL files to the ATF and that I had not responded to their request. I hadn't received any requests from the ATF and can't understand why they contacted my probation officer. The ATF has my phone number, Email Address, Mailing Address, and Physical Address that's required for my FFL, I'm very easy to contact. Even though the ATF field officer is required to do regular inspections of my FFL Business, I haven't be contacted by the field officer since I was arrested three years ago and the only correspondence I've had with the ATF was a letter in February 2023 stating I owed them $90 for my FFL renewal. I sent this letter back with a check which they cashed.
Today the ATF Agent contacted me stating my FFL renewal was denied because I failed a background check and stated I was now a convicted felon and could never own a firearm again. After notifying my attorney, the agent called back the next day stating that the FBI had "accidentally mis-coded" my case into the computer and I was not a felon or restricted person but they refused to give my FFL back even though they now had no reason to deny me. The ATF advised me that I was required by law the send them all my FFL Files. I advised the agent that all my FFL Files had been confinscated the day after my arrest.
Now I've been contacted by an ATF Agent who stated he couldn't find any agency that would admit taking my files and then threatened me several times with felony charges for Retention of Files for not returning 4473 files that the government had already confinscated 3 years previous. I advised the ATF that my files had been confinscated previously by two unknown government agents who took my files and left without identifying themselves or giving me any paperwork. The ATF Agent called me a liar several times and every time he called me a liar, I hung up on him. I advised the agent that I would try to find a backup copy of my digital log book somewhere but I was going out of state to take my wife to court as a witness in an unrelated case for about a week and that I had court approval for this trip. A few days later I traveled to court about 5 hours away in Tuscaloosa Alabama and asked my neighbor, who is a Newton Georgia Police Officer, to watch my property and feed our animals until we returned home. On the third day out of state, I received a notification from my security system stating my power had been off but was back on. I was told by authorities that the power had went out for about 30 minutes in the entire city of Newton for an unknown reason. I looked at my security cameras to check on my home and animals and noticed a package holding my storm door partially open and it had been placed there while the power and my cameras were out. I asked the officer to check the package and asked if he would make sure someone hadn't mailed a firearm to my home FFL for repair because I'm restricted from possessing firearms. The officer stated that the box didn't have a shipping label and appeared to contain FFL files and folders. It appears that the Federal Agents (DOJ, I believe) who illegally took my files got scared of all the inquiries and returned my files. The only markings on this box was my federal case number. The Officer took the FFL files into evidence, put them into the evidence room at Newton Police Department and contacted the ATF Agent. The next day the officer called me to say he had notified the ATF about recovering the files and that the ATF Agent was going to recover the files from the police department. The ATF continued to threaten me with felony charges of Retention of Files even after the files were recovered by the ATF Agent.
I've contacted my court appointed attorney's office 6 times over the past year advising them that I needed to speak with my attorney with no response other than the secretary advising me that the attorney is very busy.
It's now September 2024 and my home has again been searched by the Federal Government who again found nothing illegal in my home.
On January 30th 2024, I contacted my attorney's office and asked for a transcript of my motion for a speedy trial. During this previous hearing, I was advised that I didn't have the right to a fair and speedy trial because the 6th Amendment had been suspended by the Federal Court because of Covid and the large number of arrest during January 6th. My attorney's secretary told me that there was no transcript because the judge said there was no court reporter during this hearing and the video of the proceedings are not available to the public. I was also warned at the beginning of that Speedy Trial hearing that it was a Federal Felony for me to record my own hearing.
This is the type of government corruption that all January 6th defendants have faced and if they can do this to me then they can do it to you one day also. This is just 1 of over 1500 similar stories with many of them much, much worst than mine.
January 20th 2025
President Donald Trump issued Me and 1500 other January 6th defendants a Full Presidential Pardon.
Please share this story to everyone you know.

🚨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.

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