The Body Cam Secrets
NEW VIDEO! The Texas Attorney General has ordered Liberty County to release body camera video they’ve been hiding from us for months. It’s video connected to our investigation of the controversial death case of Sherry Novosad. It shows the Sheriff is even more clueless than we thought.
The Body Cam Secrets
“We have fought for months to get the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office to come clean, to let the family of Sherry Novosad see the body camera video of her crime scene, oh wait, her supposed suicide,” Wayne Dolcefino told the camera.
“I understand there was not a crime scene investigation prior to me being here,” Bruce Jefferies said.
“The Liberty County sheriff, the clueless sheriff, reopened the case after forensic evidence that showed male blood, on the curtains and Sherry’s bloody shirt,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“Liberty County also tried to hide the body camera from another incident four months before Sherry died,” Dolcefino told the camera.
The attorney general ordered some of the body camera video released. And you’re about to see it for the first time.
“Tonight, we’ve come over here because my mother-in-law came to get a few more things and talk, and he had already, um, had the gun on his lap,” Samantha Novosad said.
Sherry Novosad’s daughter-in-law is talking to Liberty County deputies.
“Long story short, um, my mother-in-law was found cheating, I guess you could say,” Samantha Novosad said.
“The family was worried that Ted Novosad was armed and was threating to kill himself,” Dolcefino told the camera.
Video taken that day shows up to six Liberty County patrol cars on the scene, all to serve a mental health warrant on Ted.
“He said that Sergeant McQueen is banging his old lady.”
“Who?”
“Sergeant McQueen is banging his old lady.”
“At least it ain’t me this time.”
Four months before Sherry’s questionable suicide, Liberty County deputies are casually talking, even joking, about the alleged affair between Sherry Novosad and Detective James McQueen, their colleague.
There is no evidence the sheriff ever opened up an internal investigation after that, even though Ted Novosad was clearly in distress.
“So, what he just said to us is, he’s about to blow the deed because Sergeant McQueen is with his old lady.”
“Yeah, he said our night sergeant. Okay, that is not my sergeant. He said he’s gonna do it.”
This is the timeline we do know.
July 5, 2024, deputies respond to Ted Novosad’s suicide attempt call. He is released from psychiatric hospital a couple of days later.
October 2024, the family says Sherry and McQueen had just ended their affair.
“He was up for a promotion, and he wanted to break up with her because it didn’t look good if anybody found out he was dating her. Because people know he’s married.”
A few weeks later, November 17, 2024, Sherry is found dead.
“Nearly seventeen months later, the body camera video at Sherry’s alleged suicide scene is still being withheld from the public, under the guise the Texas Rangers are still investigating it,” Dolcefino told the camera.
The bloody shirt we found male DNA on, we only could test it because the Rangers released it to the family.
Their investigation should be investigated, but by whom?
“An offer to finally look at the body camera video of Sherry’s suicide scene was finally offered to me and the family. And we went there, but all of the sudden there was some strings,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“It breaks my heart because there are so many questions unanswered,” Kathy Hatcher said.
“The Liberty County attorney wanted us to sign a contract, and agreement, that we would never talk about what we saw, we could never even tell someone else to investigate it further. That was bullshit,” Dolcefino told the camera.
“All we know is that she had to wrestle the gun out of his hand.”
“The Liberty County sheriff should be ashamed at the way they have treated Carl and Kathy Hatcher. She is a mother for gosh’s sake. The sheriff, well he is pretty clueless and I’ve given him the final warning. Don’t be surprised if the Hatcher file a lawsuit against Liberty County to get that body camera video the hard way. And if they do that, guess who is going to pay the bill? Not the sheriff, the Liberty County taxpayers,” Dolcefino told the camera.
Transparency appears to be a dirty word in Liberty County.
Oh, sucks is too.
