Speaker 1: There are two elements of today's story that are bound
0:03
Speaker 1: to shock you.
0:03
Speaker 2: The first is just how could anyone allow this to happen?
0:07
Speaker 2: It's so awful? How could you do that?
0:10
Speaker 1: And then the second is just the severity of the
0:12
Speaker 1: punishment that was handed down for it.
0:14
Speaker 2: But before we get into today's.
0:16
Speaker 1: Story, if you're a fan of the strange, dark, and
0:18

0:36
Speaker 1: get into today's story. In two thousand and one, Greg
0:51
Speaker 1: Biggs was a thirty seven year old self employed bricklayer
0:54
Speaker 1: who was living in a homeless shelter in Fort Worth, Texas.
0:57
Speaker 1: He was also the father of one child. He had
1:00
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old son named Brandon, who lived with
1:02
Speaker 1: Greg's ex wife. Despite not living with his son while
1:05
Speaker 1: his son grew up, Greg had always made a point
1:08
Speaker 1: of spending lots of time with Brandon, and so over
1:11
Speaker 1: the years they had become quite close.
1:13
Speaker 2: But besides his son, Greg.
1:14
Speaker 1: Really struggled to build meaningful, long term relationships with other people.
1:19
Speaker 1: It was like, no matter how friendly and outgoing he was,
1:22
Speaker 1: people would just come into Greg's life and would leave very,
1:25
Speaker 1: very quickly. This made Greg, who always had struggled with
1:28
Speaker 1: his mental health, feel very isolated and lonely and desperate
1:32
Speaker 1: for human interaction. And so on the rare occasion where
1:35
Speaker 1: people did come into Greg's life a new friend or
1:38
Speaker 1: a new love interest, he was always so excited to
1:41
Speaker 1: try to please them and keep them around that he
1:43
Speaker 1: would often go overboard with his generosity and his willingness
1:47
Speaker 1: to do things for these people, to the point where
1:49
Speaker 1: he really set himself up for being taken advantage of.
1:52
Speaker 1: Case in point two years earlier, a woman had kind
1:55
Speaker 1: of suddenly come into Greg's life, and Greg very quickly
1:58
Speaker 1: fell in love with her, and early on in their relationship,
2:01
Speaker 1: this woman tells Greg that she's struggling financially, and without
2:05
Speaker 1: any hesitation, Greg started giving her all of his money. Now,
2:08
Speaker 1: Greg was not a wealthy man, not by a long shot,
2:11
Speaker 1: and so before long he had literally given this woman
2:15
Speaker 1: all of his money to the point where Greg could
2:17
Speaker 1: no longer make truck payments, he couldn't make house payments,
2:20
Speaker 1: and so his vehicle and his home were repossessed. And
2:23
Speaker 1: then after he's suddenly homeless and destitute, this woman who
2:27
Speaker 1: he's given all his money to, she also disappears. But
2:30
Speaker 1: despite being in this horrible situation of sudden homelessness, Greg
2:34
Speaker 1: made the best of it. Anytime Greg was not working,
2:37
Speaker 1: he would be trying to make plans with his son
2:39
Speaker 1: Brandon to go walk around the mall downtown or go
2:42
Speaker 1: see a cheap afternoon movie. Times were definitely tough for Greg,
2:46
Speaker 1: but Greg stayed positive. He was a forever optimist, and
2:49
Speaker 1: he did this by focusing on the future. He was
2:52
Speaker 1: certain if he could just land a few more good
2:54
Speaker 1: paying gigs, he could make that extra cash and finally
2:58
Speaker 1: buy a home again, and buy vehicle again, and finally
3:01
Speaker 1: kind of get his life back together.
3:03
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, he would never get that chance.
3:06
Speaker 1: On the morning of October twenty seventh, two thousand and one,
3:09
Speaker 1: two men called the Fort Worth Police Department to report
3:12
Speaker 1: having seen something suspicious on a park bench inside of
3:16
Speaker 1: cop Park.
3:17
Speaker 2: Cob Park is this big.
3:18
Speaker 1: Public park with playgrounds and walking trails and fields, and
3:21
Speaker 1: at the time, Cob Park was not considered a very
3:24
Speaker 1: safe place to.
3:25
Speaker 2: Be, especially after hours.
3:27
Speaker 1: There was lots of shady people in the park. So
3:29
Speaker 1: when the fort Worth Police Department gets a call about
3:31
Speaker 1: something shady happening in Cob Park, they aren't surprised, and
3:35
Speaker 1: so they dispatch a single detective to go over to
3:38
Speaker 1: the park and meet these two guys and see whatever
3:41
Speaker 1: suspicious thing is on this park bench. And so this
3:43
Speaker 1: detective he goes over to the gates of cop Park.
3:45
Speaker 1: He meets these two guys and they kind of explained
3:48
Speaker 1: what they saw. They give him directions to this bench,
3:50
Speaker 1: and then he thanks them. He hops back in his cruiser.
3:53
Speaker 1: He drives through the gates and he starts driving down
3:55
Speaker 1: the trail and then he pulls off and parks his cruiser,
3:58
Speaker 1: knowing that the bench ines is right around the corner,
4:01
Speaker 1: maybe two or three hundred feet away, So he parks
4:03
Speaker 1: his cruiser, he gets out and he starts walking on
4:05
Speaker 1: the cement path and as he's walking, he can't see
4:08
Speaker 1: the bench yet, but as he's walking, he sees there
4:10
Speaker 1: are deep tire tracks in the grass and mud off
4:13
Speaker 1: to the right side of the walking path. So he's
4:15
Speaker 1: mentally kind of taking note that somebody had been driving
4:18
Speaker 1: inside the park fairly recently off the trail, and so
4:21
Speaker 1: he keeps on walking and he begins to make that turn,
4:24
Speaker 1: and he sees up ahead the bench in question, and
4:26
Speaker 1: he can clearly see these deep tire.
4:28
Speaker 2: Tracks go right up to the bench.
4:30
Speaker 1: And then as he begins to make that turn, and
4:32
Speaker 1: he's maybe thirty or forty feet away, he can actually
4:35
Speaker 1: see what's on this bench, and he can see this
4:37
Speaker 1: big lump that's kind of wrapped up in what looks
4:40
Speaker 1: like a rug or a blanket. And then as he
4:42
Speaker 1: gets closer and closer, he can finally see that very
4:44
Speaker 1: clearly there is a person inside of this blanket that's
4:48
Speaker 1: kind of laying out on this bench. And when he's
4:50
Speaker 1: about ten or fifteen feet away, he can see it's
4:53
Speaker 1: a man, and this man is clearly deceased. So this
4:56
Speaker 1: detective he walks right over to the bench and he's
4:58
Speaker 1: looking down at this body and you can see the
5:00
Speaker 1: right arm on the sky is very badly broken, and
5:04
Speaker 1: his right leg is also very badly broken. And then
5:07
Speaker 1: his left leg is not only broken, but it's been
5:10
Speaker 1: partially amputated.
5:11
Speaker 2: In fact, the left leg is barely hanging on.
5:14
Speaker 1: And so this detective he's looking at the sky, thinking, Okay,
5:17
Speaker 1: this person must have gotten wrapped up in these shady
5:19
Speaker 1: criminal dealings that are known to take place in Cobb
5:23
Speaker 1: Park and somebody beat him to death, or they beat
5:25
Speaker 1: him and then shot him to death. But as he's
5:28
Speaker 1: looking at the body, despite these extensive injuries, the bruising
5:32
Speaker 1: on his body was not consistent with someone who had
5:35
Speaker 1: been beaten to death, and in terms of potentially being
5:38
Speaker 1: shot to death. He began looking at the body and
5:40
Speaker 1: from where he was standing, he could not see an
5:43
Speaker 1: entrance or an exit wound of a bullet, and so, stumped,
5:46
Speaker 1: the detective steps back and it's just kind of pondering
5:48
Speaker 1: what he's looking at when he realizes there's very little
5:51
Speaker 1: blood anywhere near the bench or on the body. And
5:54
Speaker 1: considering the left leg has been nearly amputated, you would
5:58
Speaker 1: think there would be lots and lots of blood, but
6:00
Speaker 1: there wasn't, and so that indicated to the detective that
6:03
Speaker 1: his injuries had to have been sustained elsewhere. And so
6:06
Speaker 1: this detective he calls in backup and more detectives show
6:09
Speaker 1: up and they're all kind of looking at the scene,
6:12
Speaker 1: and the working theory became, Okay, this guy got killed
6:16
Speaker 1: outside of the park.
6:17
Speaker 2: We don't know how he got killed.
6:19
Speaker 1: It looks like some sort of blunt force trauma, but
6:21
Speaker 1: somehow he gets killed outside of the park, and then
6:24
Speaker 1: his killers they drive him into Cob Park, which is
6:27
Speaker 1: why you have those deep tire tracks on the right
6:30
Speaker 1: side of the path, and they dump him on this bench.
6:33
Speaker 1: Later that day, the medical examiner would come out and
6:36
Speaker 1: positively identify the.
6:37
Speaker 2: Body as belonging to Greg Biggs.
6:40
Speaker 1: The same day that Greg was found, the police went
6:42
Speaker 1: out and began their investigation, and they started by interviewing
6:45
Speaker 1: people that had been in Cobb Park either that day
6:48
Speaker 1: or in recent days, and they also interviewed known criminals
6:51
Speaker 1: that they knew went into Cobb Park, and they reviewed
6:54
Speaker 1: CCTV footage both in the park and outside of the park.
6:58
Speaker 1: But no one knew anything about what happened to Greg,
7:01
Speaker 1: and the footage didn't show them anything interesting, and so
7:04
Speaker 1: very quickly Greg's case began to languish and no one
7:07
Speaker 1: knew what to make of it. Then, in February of
7:10
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, so roughly four months after Greg
7:13
Speaker 1: was found, the Fort Worth Police Department received.
7:15
Speaker 2: A phone call. It was from this young.
7:17
Speaker 1: Woman named Miranda Daniel, and she said, I know what
7:21
Speaker 1: happened to the man.
7:22
Speaker 2: In Cobb Park and the stories she would tell them.
7:25
Speaker 1: At first was so hard to believe that the Fort
7:28
Speaker 1: Worth Police Department weren't sure if this was a prank
7:31
Speaker 1: or not. But when they followed up on her lead
7:33
Speaker 1: and they went to a very specific address that she
7:36
Speaker 1: had mentioned, they realized she was telling the truth. This
7:39
Speaker 1: is the unbelievable true story of what happened to Greg Biggs.
7:43
Speaker 1: On the evening of October twenty fifth, two thousand and one,
7:46
Speaker 1: so thirty six hours before Greg was found in Cobb Park,
7:50
Speaker 1: twenty five year old nurse's assistant, Chante Mallard arrived at
7:54
Speaker 1: her friend's apartment in Fort Worth, Texas.
7:56
Speaker 2: Her friend was named Tittalisi Rice. She went by t.
8:00
Speaker 1: Shantey was from a very loving and stable household in
8:03
Speaker 1: Fort Worth, Texas. Her parents had raised her to be
8:06
Speaker 1: kind to other people and to always work hard and
8:09
Speaker 1: to stay out of trouble, and by and large, Shante
8:12
Speaker 1: acted accordingly. But in her late teens and early twenties,
8:16
Speaker 1: Chantey began.
8:17
Speaker 2: To secretly rebel against her parents.
8:19
Speaker 1: On the surface, when she was around her parents and
8:22
Speaker 1: her family, she was the goody two shoes that always
8:24
Speaker 1: followed the rules. But when she was away from her family,
8:28
Speaker 1: specifically when she was with Tee Fry, she would let
8:31
Speaker 1: her wild rebellious side out. The two friends had met
8:33
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine at a nursing home where they
8:36
Speaker 1: both worked as nursing assistants. Tea Frye had just gotten
8:39
Speaker 1: out of this very toxic marriage and so when she
8:42
Speaker 1: met Shantey, she was actively looking for someone to go
8:45
Speaker 1: out and party with and go be free and meet
8:48
Speaker 1: other new people. And Shontay, when she's meeting teef Fry,
8:51
Speaker 1: she didn't necessarily know she wanted to do those things,
8:54
Speaker 1: but being around Tea fry it was like this whole
8:57
Speaker 1: other side of life was opened up to her. So
9:00
Speaker 1: suddenly all she wanted was to go cut loose with
9:02
Speaker 1: Tea fry And so very quickly these two women really
9:05
Speaker 1: connected over their mutual desire to go have fun at
9:08
Speaker 1: any cost, and before long they were not only drinking
9:11
Speaker 1: and doing drugs and partying on the weekends, but they
9:14
Speaker 1: were also getting high before work, which meant they were
9:17
Speaker 1: treating patients high. So with that in mind, fast forward
9:21
Speaker 1: back to October twenty fifth and Schante has just arrived
9:24
Speaker 1: at Tea Fry's apartment and so Shante she goes up
9:27
Speaker 1: to Ta Fry's apartment and the two start drinking some
9:30
Speaker 1: alcohol and they start smoking some weed and they split
9:33
Speaker 1: an ecstasy pill. Ecstasy is a big party drug. It's
9:36
Speaker 1: kind of like a cross between being a stimulant and
9:38
Speaker 1: a psychedelic. And so after these two women are fairly
9:41
Speaker 1: buzzed on these different substances and they're feeling ready to go,
9:44
Speaker 1: they leave Tea Fry's apartment. They go down and they
9:47
Speaker 1: climb into Chante's car and Shante drives the two of
9:50
Speaker 1: them to a local club called Joe's Big Bamboo. And
9:53
Speaker 1: so the plan was they were going to meet this
9:55
Speaker 1: guy named Cleete Jackson, who is Chante's love interest, and
9:59
Speaker 1: the plan was they would hang out at the club
10:01
Speaker 1: with Cleete and then at the end of the night
10:02
Speaker 1: they would all leave and Shonte and Cleate were going
10:05
Speaker 1: to spend the night together. And so Shante and t
10:07
Speaker 1: Fry they arrive in the parking lot of Joe's Big Bamboo.
10:10
Speaker 1: They park their car, they get out, and they meet
10:12
Speaker 1: up with Cleete, who was outside of the club, and
10:14
Speaker 1: the trio kind of sneak off from the rest of
10:16
Speaker 1: the people trying to get into the club, and they
10:18
Speaker 1: smoke some more marijuana, and then the trio they go
10:21
Speaker 1: into the club and they start having drinks and they're
10:23
Speaker 1: partying and they're dancing. They're having this great time, and
10:26
Speaker 1: then at some point in the night, Cleete kind of
10:28
Speaker 1: abandons Shontey and te Fry and he goes off with
10:32
Speaker 1: another woman he met that night in the club, and
10:35
Speaker 1: he would actually leave the club with this other woman
10:37
Speaker 1: and he would vanish for the night. And so around
10:39
Speaker 1: two am, when the club is getting ready to close,
10:42
Speaker 1: Shante realizes that Cleete, the guy she was going to
10:45
Speaker 1: go home with, he's gone now, and so she's very frustrated,
10:48
Speaker 1: but she doesn't really have any recourse, and so she
10:51
Speaker 1: instead just goes and finds t Fry and says, hey,
10:53
Speaker 1: let's just leave, and t Fry she's ready to leave too,
10:55
Speaker 1: and so the two women they leave the club and
10:57
Speaker 1: they get out to Shante's car, and both women are
11:00
Speaker 1: clearly under the influence they're both definitely inebriated, but t
11:04
Speaker 1: Fry believed she was less inebriated than Chantey was, and
11:09
Speaker 1: so she should drive, and so she told Shante, get
11:11
Speaker 1: in the passenger seat, I'm gonna drive. S Chantey gets
11:13
Speaker 1: into the passenger seat. Ti Fry gets in the driver's seat,
11:16
Speaker 1: and she leaves the club and she drives.
11:18
Speaker 2: All the way back to her apartment.
11:19
Speaker 1: When she parks at her apartment, she gets out and
11:22
Speaker 1: says to Chantey, hey, I don't mind getting in my
11:25
Speaker 1: car and kind of trailing you as you drive back
11:28
Speaker 1: to your home to make sure you get home safe,
11:30
Speaker 1: kind of like an escort. And Shantey she just gets
11:32
Speaker 1: out of the passenger side and walks right around and
11:35
Speaker 1: confidently sits in the driver's seat of her car and
11:38
Speaker 1: tells t Fry Nope, I'm fine, I'm gonna drive myself.
11:41
Speaker 2: I'll see you later, and then Schante drove away.
11:43
Speaker 1: About an hour later, at three point thirty in the morning,
11:46
Speaker 1: te Frye is in bed in her apartment when she
11:49
Speaker 1: gets this very frantic phone call from Shante, who's totally hysterical.
11:53
Speaker 1: She's beside herself and she's not really making any sense
11:56
Speaker 1: but she's trying to get te Fry to come over
11:59
Speaker 1: to her head. Now, t Fry did attempt to figure
12:02
Speaker 1: out what was going on, but she just could not
12:04
Speaker 1: cut through the hysteria on the other side of the phone.
12:08
Speaker 1: And so eventually t Fry just thought, you know what,
12:10
Speaker 1: clearly it's something serious. I'm gonna go see what's going on,
12:13
Speaker 1: and so t Fry she leads her apartment, she gets
12:15
Speaker 1: in her car and she drives over to Chante's house
12:18
Speaker 1: and when she gets there, she goes up to the
12:19
Speaker 1: front door.
12:20
Speaker 2: She opens it up, she walks.
12:21
Speaker 1: Inside and she finds Shante in the kitchen straight ahead.
12:25
Speaker 2: She's totally hysterical.
12:26
Speaker 1: She's crying and she's telling t Fry that she didn't
12:29
Speaker 1: mean to do it. She's so sorry, and Tea Fry's
12:32
Speaker 1: telling her, hey, calm down, what's going on, and Chantay says,
12:35
Speaker 1: look in the garage, and so t Fry she walks
12:37
Speaker 1: straight ahead through the kitchen to the door in the
12:40
Speaker 1: kitchen that leads into Chante's.
12:42
Speaker 2: Garage and she opens the door up.
12:44
Speaker 1: She turns the light on and in the middle of
12:46
Speaker 1: the garage is Schonte's car.
12:48
Speaker 2: It had been parked nose in.
12:50
Speaker 1: And lodged head first in the windshield. On the passenger
12:54
Speaker 1: side of this car was Greg Biggs. When Shante had
12:58
Speaker 1: left t Fry's house an hour earlier saying she was
13:01
Speaker 1: fine to drive. On her drive home, she had barreled
13:04
Speaker 1: into Greg, who was on the sidewalk of some street,
13:07
Speaker 1: and the impact was so hard that Greg went flying
13:11
Speaker 1: through the windshield and got lodged halfway inside of her car.
13:15
Speaker 1: But the impact didn't kill him. It did almost cut
13:18
Speaker 1: his left leg off and break several bones in his.
13:21
Speaker 2: Body, but it didn't kill him.
13:23
Speaker 1: In fact, there was blood spatter inside of the car
13:27
Speaker 1: on the passenger side that indicated Greg was totally conscious
13:31
Speaker 1: and was trying to pull himself back into the car.
13:35
Speaker 1: There were these handprints on the inside of the passenger
13:37
Speaker 1: side door indicating Greg had been pulling on them. There
13:40
Speaker 1: was also these very small droplets of blood all over
13:43
Speaker 1: the seat, indicating that Greg had been spitting up blood
13:46
Speaker 1: as he was trying to talk to Shante, or as
13:49
Speaker 1: he was trying to plead for help. But Shante, instead
13:52
Speaker 1: of stopping her car and getting this guy help, she
13:56
Speaker 1: just kept on driving home with Greg lodged in her
13:59
Speaker 1: front wind Now keep in mind where she hit him.
14:03
Speaker 1: She was less than a half mile from the fire
14:05
Speaker 1: station where her brother, her older brother was currently on
14:10
Speaker 1: duty as a fireman. He was medically trained, he could
14:13
Speaker 1: have saved Greg's life. Also, the other fireman at the
14:16
Speaker 1: firehouse that she knew that Shante knew, they could have
14:19
Speaker 1: saved Greg's life. Also, less than six miles away from
14:22
Speaker 1: the point of impact was the local hospital, where of
14:25
Speaker 1: course they could have saved Greg's life. And then on
14:28
Speaker 1: her drive all the way back to her house with
14:30
Speaker 1: Greg halfway in her windshield, she would have passed by
14:34
Speaker 1: nine payphones where if you don't know anything about payphones,
14:37
Speaker 1: you can dial nine one one so emergency services and
14:40
Speaker 1: it doesn't charge you anything. So Shantey at any one
14:43
Speaker 1: of these payphones could have called medical personnel who could
14:47
Speaker 1: have saved Greg. Also, let's not forget Shantey was medically trained,
14:51
Speaker 1: she was a nurse's assistant and understood basic life saving,
14:56
Speaker 1: but she did not use any of those resources. Instead,
15:00
Speaker 1: she just drove home. And when she got to her home,
15:03
Speaker 1: she drove her car with Greg in it, into her garage.
15:06
Speaker 1: She shut the garage door, she gets out and as
15:09
Speaker 1: Greg is literally moaning and probably pleading for help. At
15:14
Speaker 1: this point, she just says, I'm sorry, and then walks
15:17
Speaker 1: up to the door that leads into the kitchen of
15:19
Speaker 1: her home.
15:20
Speaker 2: She turns off the light in the garage, walks into her.
15:23
Speaker 1: Kitchen and shuts the door behind her, trapping Greg in
15:26
Speaker 1: the garage in total darkness by himself. Then, after an
15:30
Speaker 1: hour of Chante just being in her house with Greg
15:33
Speaker 1: slowly dying in the garage, she calls teeth Fry.
15:37
Speaker 2: Tee Fry comes over.
15:38
Speaker 1: She looks in the garage, she sees Greg, and teeth
15:40
Speaker 1: Fry's reaction is she just totally loses it. She panics
15:44
Speaker 1: and she's screaming at Shante. Called nine one one, call paramedics,
15:47
Speaker 1: call the police, but Shante refused. She didn't really give
15:51
Speaker 1: a reason, but she just said, no, I can't. And
15:53
Speaker 1: then shockingly, Tee Fry also does not call anyone. The
15:58
Speaker 1: two of them just turn off the garage light again
16:01
Speaker 1: and shut the door and leave Greg and they hop
16:04
Speaker 1: into t Fry's car and they drive to Tea Fry's
16:06
Speaker 1: apartment where they sleep for several hours, and then when
16:10
Speaker 1: they get up that morning, they go back over to
16:12
Speaker 1: Shante's house and they check on Greg, who's now motionless,
16:15
Speaker 1: and at this point, Shante she calls Cleete Jackson, the
16:18
Speaker 1: guy who she was supposed to go home with at
16:20
Speaker 1: the club but had abandoned her for some other girl.
16:23
Speaker 1: She calls him and says, Hey, I have this huge problem.
16:25
Speaker 1: I need you to come help me. And so Claete
16:27
Speaker 1: Jackson has no idea what he's walking into, but he
16:30
Speaker 1: goes to her house and he goes through her kitchen.
16:32
Speaker 1: She opens the door and he looks into the garage
16:34
Speaker 1: and he sees Greg in the window. And he's furious
16:38
Speaker 1: with Shante because now he's gotten involved and he doesn't
16:41
Speaker 1: really know if Greg's alive, and he doesn't really know
16:43
Speaker 1: what to do because he's on parole and if he
16:45
Speaker 1: gets wrapped up in this, he'll go back to jail.
16:47
Speaker 1: But he ultimately decides he's just gonna help Shante because
16:50
Speaker 1: he believes at this point Greg is dead so there's
16:52
Speaker 1: nothing they can do to save Greg. And so that night,
16:55
Speaker 1: Cleete gets in touch with his cousin Tyrone, and the
16:58
Speaker 1: two of them they go into the garage and they
17:00
Speaker 1: lay out a carpet next to the car, and they
17:03
Speaker 1: both kind of awkwardly apologize to Greg, who's just stuck
17:06
Speaker 1: in the window still, and they yank him out. They
17:08
Speaker 1: put him into the carpet, they roll him up, they
17:11
Speaker 1: put him in the back of one of their cars
17:13
Speaker 1: and they drive to cop Park. They go through the gates,
17:15
Speaker 1: they make their way over to that bench and they
17:17
Speaker 1: drop him on the bench. There had been some discussion
17:20
Speaker 1: about maybe destroying the body, burning the body, but Cleete
17:23
Speaker 1: felt strongly that they need to put his body out
17:25
Speaker 1: somewhere in public so at least his family can.
17:28
Speaker 2: Identify him and bury him.
17:30
Speaker 1: After his body was placed in the park, Shante told
17:33
Speaker 1: Cleete and Tyrone and te Fry not to tell anyone,
17:37
Speaker 1: and they said they wouldn't, and within a week of
17:40
Speaker 1: Greg's body being discovered, Shontey was back at Joe's Big Bamboo, partying.
17:45
Speaker 2: It up as if nothing had ever happened.
17:47
Speaker 1: But eventually te Fry would tell a couple of her friends,
17:50
Speaker 1: and before long word had gotten out and one person
17:53
Speaker 1: found out about it that was kind of in the
17:55
Speaker 1: network of these people, this woman Miranda Daniels, and she
17:59
Speaker 1: really didn't like Chantey, and so she was the one
18:02
Speaker 1: who actually called the police and turned her in. And
18:04
Speaker 1: when the Fort Worth police followed up on Miranda's tip
18:07
Speaker 1: and they went to Chante's house. They went into her
18:10
Speaker 1: garage and there was her car with the windshields still
18:13
Speaker 1: obviously busted in from something being smashed through it, and
18:17
Speaker 1: there's blood all over the inside of the car, and
18:19
Speaker 1: there was some obvious attempts at trying to destroy evidence
18:22
Speaker 1: inside of the car. These seats had been taken out,
18:25
Speaker 1: some things had been burned, but none of the attempt
18:27
Speaker 1: Chantey had made had actually destroyed any of the evidence.
18:30
Speaker 1: During the trial, the medical examiner who had done the
18:33
Speaker 1: autopsy on Greg Biggs said his injuries would not have
18:38
Speaker 1: killed him right away. Now, he didn't know for sure
18:40
Speaker 1: how long he would have been alive, but he believed
18:42
Speaker 1: it could be as long as several hours or maybe
18:45
Speaker 1: even up to a whole day. And during that time
18:48
Speaker 1: Greg was just trapped inside of this pitch black garage.
18:52
Speaker 1: No one's coming to help him, despite people coming in
18:54
Speaker 1: over and over again that he's pleading with to help him,
18:57
Speaker 1: and he would have been in excruciating pain. He's got
19:00
Speaker 1: several significant broken bones, his leg has been nearly amputated,
19:05
Speaker 1: he's got cuts all over his body, and he would
19:07
Speaker 1: have been trying to pull himself out of the windshield,
19:10
Speaker 1: and every movement he was making would have been sending
19:13
Speaker 1: the jagged pieces of metal and glass into his body.
19:16
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a drawn out, horrible death. And
19:20
Speaker 1: during the trial every single medical professional and every single
19:24
Speaker 1: law enforcement official said, had Shante brought Greg to get
19:29
Speaker 1: medical attention at any point in the first couple of hours,
19:32
Speaker 1: just basic medical care, he would have lived. And so
19:36
Speaker 1: his death is entirely because of Chante's absolute indifference. Te
19:41
Speaker 1: Fry would ultimately, in exchange for full immunity, testify against Chantey,
19:47
Speaker 1: and Shante wouldultimately be found guilty of murder of Greg Biggs,
19:51
Speaker 1: and she would be sentenced to fifty years in prison.
19:54
Speaker 1: She'll be eligible for parole in twenty twenty seven.
19:57
Speaker 3: In Cause number zero three seven one five two day
20:01
Speaker 3: styled State of Texas versus Chante Juan Mallard verdict form
20:07
Speaker 3: is to count one way the jury, having found the
20:09
Speaker 3: defendant Chantey Juan Mallard guilty of the offensive murder assessor
20:13
Speaker 3: punishment at confinement. The Institutional Division of the Texas Department
20:17
Speaker 3: of Criminal Justice for a period of fifty years.
20:19
Speaker 1: Asked for Cleyte Jackson and his cousin Tyrone. They received
20:23
Speaker 1: ten years and nine years, respectively for their role in
20:26
Speaker 1: the crime. During the victim impact statement portion of the trial,
20:30
Speaker 1: Brandon Biggs, Greg's son, he took the stand and he
20:33
Speaker 1: very eloquently told Chantey that he forgave her, and it
20:36
Speaker 1: seemed very genuine, and it moved Chante to tears. And
20:40
Speaker 1: then Brandon looked out at the audience where Chante's family
20:43
Speaker 1: was and he said, you know, not only do I
20:45
Speaker 1: feel horrible for my family, but I feel bad for
20:48
Speaker 1: your family, Chante as well, because this crime has destroyed
20:51
Speaker 1: all of us.
20:52
Speaker 2: So that's going to do it.
