Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I did the first warrant approximately three days after I received the information.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
In Ms. Mosley's kitchen area, there was pads of notebook paper that had Ms. Sue Mosley's name written on it. It was a repeated signature, almost as if somebody was trying to duplicate Ms. Mosley's signature.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I got a copy of Ms. Sue's original handwriting and compared the two of those. And I could tell the difference between Ms. Sue's handwriting and the handwriting of Sandra Camille Powers' signature.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Sandra started taking over Ms. Sue's finances. Then she started taking over Ms. Sue's mail. She wouldn't let Ms. Sue see any of the statements that were coming in through the bank or any letters.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Sandra's bedroom was a treasure trove of evidence. She kept everything, didn't throw anything away. She had bags, boxes. There was paper strewn all over her bedroom. I mean, she ordered everything.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
In Sandra's bedroom, there was a door that went through into the attic. Good Lord. bank account statements, credit card statements.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
They had pulled up video of Sandra Camille Powers going into the bank and cashing checks under Ms. Sue Mosley's name, which she did not authorize.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
The witnesses at the three businesses... when describing the person that went in and made the purchases was describing a hippie-type person wearing a cloth shroud over her head, long skirt, medium-length black hair, deep eyes. She always introduced herself as a missionary, even to the businesses that she went into. So she showed them a recent picture.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
And they confirmed that it was her that went in and used the credit card belonging to Ms. Sue Mosley.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I actually, during the search warrant, got a copy of one of the bogus statements credit card statements she was not good at it because she used the whiteout to white out the total of charges and then gave a total balance at the end of the statement in a lower amount so that miss sue would not see that she was actually running up the credit card into the thousands of dollars

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
We had another detective, Marty Folden, that was called out while Nancy was living there.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Sandra was very savvy about talking about Nancy was doing this, she was doing drugs, she was taking checks.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Sandra had told Ms. Sue that Nancy was trying to get a hold of Ms. Sue's social security number so she could take over Ms. Sue's social security check.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
The Social Security agency had called them and told Ms. Sue that somebody in the household had tried to take control of the Social Security number and ultimately couldn't because of the password.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I was sitting in the jail waiting for her. When she came in the door, she was holding a Bible. She was very meek at first, apologetic, charming.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
She had a hold of her pocketbook and the Bible when she sat down on the bench across from me. And I looked at her and I told her, I said, I need your pocketbook. And she says, well, you can't have it. I said, yes, I can. I said, it's either me or the jailers take it. I said, either way, I'm going to get it. And you could tell she was a little irritated.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
She handed it to me and I sat back down on the counter and started going through it, was pulling out cards and bank statements and credit card statements and letters. And she said, you can't go through that. I said, yes, I can. I said, if I find evidence in it, I am confiscating it.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I thumbed through it. And there was pictures of champagne escalades, Chibichu shoes, Michael Kors pocketbooks, pictures of billion-dollar mansions. And they were all cut out of magazines and placed in between the pages of the Bible.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
She would change the verse to fit her needs, that God would provide for her, that she was going to be able to get this mansion.

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
So when Detective Todd tried to interest a DA in the case... It was such a small amount of money, our district attorney wanted to drop the case.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I worked nonstop almost 19 to 20 hours a day in the first couple of weeks just so I could obtain the warrants on her and not let her slip through our hands. Because if she had gotten wind of it, she probably would have fled and we probably would not have been able to find her because she's good at hiding.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Like bank statements, credit card statements, tax statements, loan statements. Everything was diverted to Rock Hill during the period of time that she was staying with Ms. Sue. And those mortgage payments? Sandra diverted the money away from the house payment and was collecting the payments in Rock Hill. The same address as the statements. Finally, it became over $2,500 in fraudulent charges.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
The detective that was assigned to it, he didn't do an incident report. He just bugged the phone and left it there and forgot about it. When we got the bugged tape and listened to it and actually heard Sandra's voice,

Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
With the agent trying to change the address where the Social Security payment was supposed to go, that's when I involved the Social Security Administration because we had enough to take her federally.

I was introduced to a case pertaining to a victim by the name of Sue Mosley My lieutenant called me one day and asked me to report to St. James for a possible financial crime.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
The realty agent didn't know how to get up with Ms. Mosley's family, so he contacted the security gate.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Ron contacted my lieutenant, and my lieutenant sent me.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I contacted Ms. Sue Mosley's son, Jimmy, and asked him to have permission to talk with his mother and get permission for me to do a search warrant on her home to collect evidence so that I can do the process of getting any warrants that I can obtain to have her arrested as soon as possible.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
Because of the fact that there were other reports out there from Dallas, Texas and Oklahoma on Ms. Sandra Camille Powers and some of the potential fraud cases that were coming out of those areas on the West Coast.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 5. Luck Runs Out
I went back to my office. I called Glenna Whitley so that I could collect whatever she had on Ms. Sandra Camille Powers. We definitely hit the ball running that day.

And of course, they subpoenaed Brett, Emily. And Catherine, Emily testified. Brett, of course, his attorney pled the fifth for him. And Catherine, she pled the fifth.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
In talking with Catherine, I believe she knew something was suspicious. That was about as far as she got with her. Brett was a different story. Brett was almost cold and said, contact my attorney. He was just like his mother. You contact my attorney.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
She told me at one point during an interview that while on vacation in California at a resort, Alan and Britt were out using jet skis and her mother had asked, her brother to run over Alan with the jet ski, make it look like an accident.

We didn't feel like we had any real cooperation from the Dallas police. They just dropped the ball. They didn't put in the time to actually do the research. They took the word of everybody else around him.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
She got emotional there at one point. Then she spoke directly to Sandra. She forgave Sandra for what she had done.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
There was no acknowledgment. Sandra had always been a paradox in this way.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker

Ms. Rearig was trying to get it reopened.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
I never got word back from him. So I called Ms. Rerig and asked Ms. Rerig. I said, look, I said, go to your church, have them write letters, get up with the DA, tell them you want the case reopened.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
And the DA ultimately got up with the cold case department. It worked. And I finally got a call from Kyle Estridge.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
The whole time I had her in custody, she would never admit to having a third husband named Alan Rehrig.
The Binge Cases: Baby Broker
Fatal Beauty | 6. Hard to Get
I mean, she just totally refused to say that she was married to him.
