Bates Investigates, Season One, "In Defense of Daniel Holtzclaw." Episode 13

Tabitha Barnes alleges that then Oklahoma City Police patrol officer Daniel Holtzclaw, for a second time, coerced her into exposing her breasts.

Barnes also alleges that Holtzclaw illegally entered her home and then harassed her boyfriend.

The next day, Holtzclaw allegedly showed back up at her home and asked to come inside. A request that Barnes denied.

Barnes even claims that she  moved out of her home the next day and her and her children went into hiding for three-months.

That said, I uncover several inconsistencies in Barnes' allegations and more evidence Oklahoma City Sex Crimes Detective Rocky Gregory is not being completely transparent in his investigation.

Investigative Timeline - August 13, 2014: This episode starts with Oklahoma Sex Crimes Detective Rocky Gregory contacting "Shannon", a 23-year old bikini fitness model whom patrol officer Daniel Holtzclaw had run through the police department's databases on a couple of occasions. 

Det. Kim Davis identifies 53-year-old Florene Mathis as a potential 'victim' of Daniel Holtzclaw. After learning Mathis is currently in the Oklahoma County Jail on a assault with a deadly weapon complaint, she and detective Homan decide to pay her a visit. Their interview is audio and video recorded. 

Mathis alleges that she has been stopped by Holtzclaw on three occasions and that she was groped on the last. 

Det. Davis' interview with Mathis uncovers many discrepancies in her story - yet she ignores all of them and is convinced Mathis is victim number four in her investigation. And, she knows there is at least one more victim, because she has yet to find out whom the DNA found on officer Holtzclaw's uniform pants belongs to.

Investigative Timeline - August 5, 2014: This episode reflects back on Episode 8 and the telephone and in-person interviews conducted by Oklahoma City Sex Crimes Detective Kim Davis with Daniel Holtzclaw accuser Sherry Ellis.

Ellis alleges she was stopped by Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, in the early morning hours of May 7, 2014, near NE 17th and N. Highland Dr. and forced to perform oral sex. She says she was then transported a couple of blocks away and vaginally raped in a public park, before being told to "have a nice night" as the officer drove away.

But, there's some significant problems with Ellis' allegations. For one, she describes her attacker as a "short, black, male police officer." Daniel Holtzclaw is 6' 2" tall and pale white in complexion. Ellis also claims the officer who attacker her was driving a different model of patrol car than Holtzclaw was actually driving.

Then there's his patrol car GPS. While it places him in the area, host Brian Bates explains why it would be impossible for Holtzclaw's patrol car to be where prosecutors insist the rape took place.
