home the individual heard in today's trailer is certified POS and struggle rapper Rambo his real name is Bryce
Jamar rhs and that is him calling from a jail cell as he is awaiting trial and someone was dumb enough to pay $9.99
cents for this call and in even more bizarre Act of brazen lack of human decency and compassion for the community
of Louisville some nudnick put this phone call up on YouTube and posted free Bryce rhods no thank you now one does
not need to have too much of an imagination to understand the phrase struggle rapper but because the Urban
Dictionary is equal parts Brilliance and hilarity here is their definition a struggle rapper is a guy who takes
rapping super seriously and thinks he is amazing but his actual skills are average at best we all know a couple and
now unfortunately you know one more but as much as we all would like for it to be this is not a hip-hop show in fact
they tell me that it is a true crime show so Captain let's go back 5 years this is May of 2016 in beautiful
Louisville Kentucky where we have two young Brothers Living with their mom Marie Ren the boys Larry Ordway age 14
and Maurice Gordon age 16 had different fathers but shared a brotherly bond in a
close relationship with their mother they were in many respects normal kids who like to have fun and hang out with
their friends both boys were doing well in school at Olstead Academy North and the family was looking forward to both
boys' upcoming graduation from the e8th grade but instead of graduating from the
eth grade and moving on to bigger and better things in high school Marie would be planning their funerals on Saturday
May 21st according to the boy's mother Maurice and Larry left the home and they never came back but these two young men
they're 14 and 16 and they're hanging out with Bryce which is in his mid 20s at this point on Sunday May 22nd this is
around 12:30 p.m a little girl riding her bike in the shaie neighborhood of Louisville saw something awful two
bodies were lying in a circle of burned grass in an abandoned lot on River Park Drive near 40th Street this was not the
neighborhood where the boys lived with their mother to give you a flavor for the area one resident said to
wlk Y jelly to see the CSI truck I knew it was something a little bit more serious than just two people being shot
along with police the arson unit responded to the scene because of the attempt being made to burn the bodies it
was apparent to any one who saw the bodies that they were murdered victims Witnesses describ the scene as horrific
one officer was seen shaking his head as he covered the bodies with a sheet probably because it was apparent to him
how young these victims were crime scene investigators determined that the victims were murdered elsewhere and then
dumped in this vacant lot the bodies had no ID on them the police had no reports
of missing teens in the area police issued a statement that two teen males were found dead and Foul Play was
evident they released sketches of the victims on Monday night a faculty member of the boy school then recognizes the
sketches they knew both brothers Larry and Maurice these two brothers did not come
to school on that Monday so this faculty member called it into to police on May 24th
it was reported that a Louisville woman had come forward to claim the two bodies
found as her sons but the victim's names were not released until May 26th of course the mom was Marie Ren and the
boys the victims were Larry and Maurice her two sons well their mom is going to be told I believe on Tuesday that it's
possible that her boys were found and found in this area yeah this is a weird situation Captain because it's one of
those rare situations where two people go missing they're killed their bodies are found and
recovered and it's not until a couple days later that they're claimed by a family member in this case
being their mother but they were never reported missing at any time yeah I don't want to throw her under the bus
but when your kids don't show up to school on Monday and they don't come back home Sunday night or or Monday at
what point are you going to call them in missing yourself especially when they're
missing school on that Monday so Marie the mother told the media that she learned that the two bodies were found
they could be her boys she learned this on that Tuesday they had left the house with friends on Saturday night that's a
long period for you not to know where your kids are exactly you have to wonder if this was a regular thing in the
household to just not know where the kids were what they were up to Marie said in an interview quote everybody
knows them they got killed over nothing Larry played football and he was on honor rooll in school and Maurice loved
music he was into the music industry and they were great kids they didn't take from nobody she added she pleaded with
anyone who might know anything about the case to please come forward now let's take a step back here captain and look
at what was going on in Maurice and Larry's lives at the time that they first go Miss and then unfortunately
later found to be murdered victims as we said the boys behaved themselves at school and were both considered to be
very good students both were in the eth grade at Olstead Academy North and teachers who spoke about them said that
they were in fact good kids but behind the scenes I think it's a whole bit of a different story here and I'm not saying
that they weren't good kids but what I am saying is we do know that Larry and Maurice were running around with a bad
crowd right well and also you're saying they're in the same grade one's 14 and 116 yeah it's not clear to me that that
jumped off the page as well for me Captain and it's not clear to me why that is what it is but that is in
fact the case or was the case 5 years ago well just to be clear we don't we're not trying to bash these victims we're
just trying to state that the these are the surroundings this is the environment
they were in and I'm still in the eighth grade as well here Captain so I cannot those in Glass Houses right so here's a
quote from um one of the detectives working the case said quote when you have young kids that are in their early
teens I mean you can have really good kids and they get thrown in with the same crowd with a bad crowd this is this
could happen to any kid this is from homicide detective Todd Kissinger this is what he told the CBS News down there
in Louisville Kentucky all it takes is for you to be hanging out with the wrong crowd for a week for a couple days bad
things can happen when you're hanging out with bad people and bad things can happen quick my point is it doesn't
matter if they were hanging out with the wrong crowd for 2 years or two days bad
stuff can happen I have a CREDO that I've lived My Life by if you hang out with bad people and are around bad
things and do bad things long enough something bad will happen to you it's it's just how things go now it seems
that Larry and Maurice got caught up in the sort of gangster lifestyle that looks glamorous to some kids their
social media pages are filled with photos of the two boys posing with automatic weapons and assault rifles
smoking cigars counting large amounts of cash and you know trying to look cool I
guess for the the camera the disturbing thing is it's pretty clear that their mother well she knew what the boys were
up to in their free time she knew that they were hanging out with a bad crowd she knew that they were doing things
that were these unsavory things on camera and then putting these videos together on their social media pages and
we know that she knew this because she is in some of the pictures with them holding guns in a in a tough looking
pose and is even posing with her little daughter in all blue clothing and flags and such that's interesting yeah and
then she went on to tell wdrb.com quote my sons were trying to Earn Stripes in the blood gang and they
had to put in work if they didn't put in work they were knocked off and that's why they were knocked off because they
were scared to put in the work end quote now later Marie backtracked saying it was all a front so her boys could seem
cool and her mom this would be the grandmother Debbie Ren told the media that the guns in the photos were just
toys I don't know either way I'm going to go with the grandmother give her the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe
they were toys but either way it's it's it's what are you trying to uh what are you trying to achieve by posting
pictures like that well exactly it's not something that I want to see but uh you
know I have to remind myself I was a teenager and I did some dumb stuff in my teenage years yeah we've done we both
have done some really stupid crap I think I think most people do or at least that's what I tell myself to feel better
about myself well also it it would seem to me I'm assuming that they're being raised in a house by a single mother so
I didn't know that growing up I don't know what that would be like and a lot of kids in these types of environments
feel like going with a gang sometimes they feel like there's no option if you don't go with the gang
then every gang is out to get you so at least if you team up with somebody somebody's protecting you well and I
think what we're going to see here and something you pointed out earlier Captain these are young impressionable
boys who are hanging out with an adult that they should not be hanging out with and they're being led by this guy and
led down the wrong path and that's for certain now according to the Courier Journal what they said of the mother
said quote she came under attack on social media for photos of her sons holding guns on her Facebook page which
referenced a gang her family insists that the teens weren't in a gang and were just pretending to be tough and
quote so regardless whatever the truth it's clear that Marie did know who her boys were hanging out with and this was
in fact the wrong crowd and one loser in particular was 25-year-old aspiring rapper Rambo as he called himself better
known as Bryce rhods both boys had appeared in Rambo's music videos with references to guns sex and violence the
boys thought Rambo was going to make them famous as he got famous he told them his music videos would make
them Stars eventually and he bought them clothes and food and would have them ride around with him in his car but
didn't they like listen to his music again they're teenagers they they're young teenagers and they're
they're just not making good decisions I mean listen to the first line of that rap he he's in prison he said he's going
to the jewelry shop yeah I'm going to the jeweler bro like yeah you're not no no you're not but you're
not you can you can say whatever you want to say but you're not hey maybe he is going to like the prison Jeweler
maybe there's a prison Jeweler if handcuffs or jewelry in this guy's mind then yeah this guy's a baller he's a
baller right and you're right I that's funny that you say that Captain did they listen to his music cuz it ain't
good yeah and I'm I'm just not a fan of Mumble rap in general like when when the rapper sounds like
they're just mumbling or or the ones that are just that it's all braggadocious there's no
there's no story there's no Rhyme or Reason um you know that to me it's it's nonsense and and I would say that I'm A
hip-hop fan I mean I like Tupac Biggie I like Jay-Z I like most death black thought the Beasty Boys I feel like
those guys are at least saying something they're not just mumbling well and there's there's good kinds of music and
bad kinds of music you know in all genres and um the the thing is again remember this dude is 25 they're 14 and
16 I remember when I was 14 there was a couple dudes I hung out with simply because they had a car right and in
hindsight these guys were idiots that I were that I was hanging out with simply because they had a car so you can only
imagine what their the Hocus Pocus that he's putting on these young dudes you know he's 25 he's got a car he's got
tattoos he's saying hey I'm going to be famous he's probably lying about who he is to them making himself seem bigger
and more important than what he actually is and they they're young they don't know any better they believe him and so
they're tagging along they're along for the ride so to speak well right but that's why he's hanging out with 14 and
16y old cuz he can't nobody he can't impress anybody his own age right so he's like oh I got to impress these kids
now while we're on the subject of them hanging out with Bryce rhs we have uh their mother on record saying the
following about Bryce he goes through the neighborhoods and he just picks up teenagers he sees and asks them you want
to sell this you want to sell that he kept sneaking and picking up my sons he bribed them with designer clothes and
shoes he would even take them out to eat by them food uh her mother he sounds like a pedo is what he sounds like to me
yeah that's true you know like it's I mean think about how many of these serial killer pedos that we've talked
about that go around the neighborhood find the poor kids and go hey uh you want some beer do you want some
marijuana do you oh you want some new sneakers I can help you out yeah there was a guy down in Texas Dean Coral that
uh made a whole lifestyle out of that for for years yeah um and and he was a shitty rapper too yes yes he was the
grandmother Debbie who who I am a big fan of you know if we're going to be picking sides here and getting people's
back here I will I want to be upfront about that I'm a fan of Debbie Ren she is on record saying the same thing about
Bryce he lured her words her he lured these kids in by buying them shoes taking them to the mall taking them out
to eat and she says yeah he was a predator hold on I'm going to defend the mom a little bit because here here's
what we're so quick to do uh this these kids were in a bad situation their mom didn't know what was going on look at
this age 14 and 16 they're probably bigger than their mom they're probably taller than their mom she can't
physically control them can't maybe physically tell them not to do this or not to do that I don't know that that's
the case here right but what I'm saying is what's never mentioned in the story is where the hell where the both of
these boys' fathers you know so let's not put the let's not put uh too much weight uh onto their mom cuz cuz their
their fathers that obviously weren't helping keeping these kids in better environments it's it's on them as well
well the mother went so far as to say that Rambo used young kids to do his dirty work on the streets and by the
time her boys discovered how dangerous he really was she says it was to too late so Marie told the
police that this is what happened that Bryce rhods and two other teenagers came and picked
up her two sons on Saturday night they were going to a party and this is what they told her we're going to a party on
Sunday she called one of the phones one of their phones looking for them because
they didn't come home now she didn't know it but they were actually already dead at this point one of the teenage
boys that was with Bryce and her two sons answered one of her son's phones and he at the time happened to be
in the car with Bryce and he said to this teenager tells Marie that we went to the store and we'll be right back so
Marie knows not only Bryce rhods by name but also knows the name of both of these
teenagers that arrived with him to pick up her sons on that Saturday they're missing they don't come home and on
Sunday she's calling their phones one of these teenagers picks up gives an excuse
and now we still have two teenagers who have not come home right but at that moment you call cops you call the cops
and you can say look my sons were supposed to be with these two gentlemen or these three gentlemen my bad and
that's what you do yeah my son left with an adult and have not come home like they were supposed to I'm calling this
in because it's it's an issue and so armed with this information this is what she tells the police once the bodies
were found now about 2 and 1/2 weeks before Maurice and Larry were killed there was another murder in Louisville
and one that was unsolved at the time that her two sons went missing media reports said that on May 4th around
12:30 a.m. 40-year-old Christopher Jones was found having been shot in the Torso
in the 800 block of South 41st Street now Medics arrived on the scene and triy to save Christopher Jones but he died
during surgery at University Hospital just after 4:30 a.m. this was the city's 38th homicide of that year when the
Louisville Metro Police spokesperson reported this to the media the following afternoon he said that there were no
suspects at that time okay so what does this have to do with r two teenage victims well in the course of their
investigation the Louisville PD investigation into Bryce rhods after getting his name from the mother police
got aate statement from one of Rad's accompli that Maurice and Larry were in the vehicle when Bryce RADS shot
Christopher Jones so this unsolved homicide for May 4th they're now getting information that the two other murder
victims were in a car with this Bryce rhods character when he when Bryce rhods shot
and killed Christopher Jones [Music] this show is sponsored by better help do you look forward to the holidays maybe

animals Cheers Cheers captain now if you are Louisville PD if you're a detective
working one or both of these homicide cases you have an interesting situation here now don't you because you have
someone telling you that these murders might all be connected and the center point here might be this Bryce rhods guy
right we now have information that he shot and killed this Christopher Jones and we're now getting information that
our two other murder victims were were in the vehicle with Bryce roads when he shot and killed Christopher Jones yeah
so the the PD is sitting around thinking where can we find Bryce rhs at well at the local jewelry store yeah of course
bro the interesting thing here too is this information is coming with a certain amount of weight a certain
amount of weight backing it up that makes it even more believable because there was another accomplice
also we now have a motive of why this 14 and 16y old are dead the motive being that Bryce killed this guy and their
Witnesses or accomplice and and somehow then Bryce decided that they need to be be taken
care of so the accomplice was following behind Bryce rhods and Maurice and Larry
who were in a vehicle following behind them in another vehicle this accomplice ran over Jones's Body by accident after
Christopher Jones was shot rhs told Larry and Maurice according to the accomplice that Bryce rhs told Larry and
Maurice not to tell anyone about the shooting and then took them home that's the night of May 4th okay so just
reverse a little bit so Bryce pulls up with the two teenage boys in his car he pulls up on this guy he gets out of
his car shoots the shoots the guy his accomplice is behind him I think it was a drive by okay but then the car behind
him was Bryce's buddy and he ran over the victim correct he ran over Christopher Jones okay so when police
arrive they find this man shot and run over he's still alive but he's you know not able to
speak or tell them anything right and they Rush him off to the hospital where they tried desperately to save this guy
but unfortunately were unable to do so when Bryce rhs after the shooting he of course tells Larry and Maurice not to
tell anyone about the shooting about the murder and then takes them home but the
two teenag teers they're just kids right I mean at the end of the day regardless
of what they were doing good bad or in between they're just kids and they probably didn't know even if they were
told this is what might go down tonight they may not have even believed it until
they saw it until they experienced it these kids are terrified now and he's just dropping them off at their
house yeah so it seems seems that this might be the the real life shocker wakeup call
to this 14 and 16year old boys that hey this [ __ ] is real yeah and these things
have real consequences and look to what just happened to this unfortunate individual that was for all we know just
walking down the street minding their own business and gets gunned down and then unfortunately ran over well and now
you have proof that this 25-year-old you're hanging out with is a complete [ __ ] bag and so if he's capable and you
just saw what he did so if he's capable of doing that to this guy he's capable of doing that to you to any member of
your family you got you got mixed up with the wrong crowd well and of course now he's dropping them off at home and
they're terrified they're frightened and now Bryce rh's concern then becomes that
well maybe these two kids are going to tell someone maybe they're going to tell their mom maybe they're going to tell
their grandmother maybe they're going to tell people at school or even the police
right to Double Down triple down I guess on the tragedy Larry and Maurice they're
dead within three weeks of this Christopher Jones being shot now Christopher Jones being shot wasn't
there a a hit put out on him or something um something like that we we'll get into that cuz it's a little
more complicated than that but what we have here Captain is once the mother tells police about this Bryce rhods and
everything that she seems to know at the time and that her boys were last to be seen with him the Louisville Police they
started looking for Bryce rhods and he had a record and not just not just a police
record he had a police record with Louisville PD right right so we'll go through some of his uh background here
he had been convicted twice of assault four times of domestic violence and twice for violating the
terms of his probation but more importantly rhs was wanted in nearby Indiana on domestic abuse charges in
Clark County now Indiana authorities had been looking for Bryce rhods for about 6
months at this time in our timeline he was also on probation in the same Indiana county for domestic assault for
incidents in 2013 and 2014 Louisville authorities had a reason to find and arrest Bryce rhs so that's
the Avenue we are going to pursue right we've only heard this information from people that we don't know if they're
credible or not mhm so we don't really have anything to go out and arrest this guy on but oh he already has a warrant
out for him by this other jurisdiction and he's on probation so we got some leverage here so it's going to be the
Clark County Indiana authorities that will go out looking for Bryce rhods not just to not just to serve their warrants
and arrest him but also to help out the Louisville Police Department and it only
took them thankfully a couple of days to find Bryce rhods and bring this guy in in the meantime per The Courier Journal
newspaper quote homicide detectives track down one of the two alleged teenage accomplice this was 15-year-old
an Juan Carter and began interviewing him while searching for the 25-year-old Bryce rhods their Prime Suspect police
also arrested another accomplice this is jakori Taylor age 17 they started interviewing these
juveniles to amass evidence against 25-year-old Bryce roads what are we seeing here Captain this loser Bryce
who's he running around with did you catch all those ages 14 15 16 and 17 what you got no friends no I think
he's I really think he's a pedo I I would be interested to to to hear them um to hear the
juveniles talk about you know other things and I wouldn't put it past him as being
a pedo I you're starting to convince me here I at first I thought well that's an
interesting take makes sense cuz we've seen it in other cases in other neighborhoods throughout
time yeah this is something that happens you might be on to something here Captain so on Tuesday May 24th police
spotted roads vehicle on Preston Highway they arrested him on the outstanding warrant in Indiana and were able to hold
him while they worked to gather evidence in the Larry Maurice murder cases and they slapped him with additional charges
stemming from an attack on his own mother apparently Bryce's mother alleged that Bryce grabbed her by the neck and
punched her in the temple as she attempted to unload groceries his teenage sister called the police but
at that time this would be back in 2014 they did not arrest Bryce roads this for unknown reasons wait
so this is what drives me insane sometimes with these cases you go he he grabbed his mom by the throat punched
her in the temple and we didn't arrest this dick canoe right like maybe if we would arrested him there maybe if we
would have got him on these other other charges these murders would have never taken place that's certainly possible
again I don't know the reasons why he was not arrested that day so I don't want to I don't want to point blame at
anybody here but in a later interview his mother Bryce Road's mother said that Bryce has mental issues and has not been
taking his medication when he allegedly killed Maurice and lar she said that she
was out of town at the time that's going to come back to be important not so much
the medication thing or his mental issues or whatever but more so that she was out of town at the time of the
murder of these two young boys right so okay let's go through a little more of Bryce rh's background and criminal
history here the Clark County Indiana prosecutor this is Jeremy Maul was interviewed by the media and was very
forthcoming about Bryce's police criminal record he reeled off Road's previous convictions which included
armed robbery criminal confinement domestic assault and felony intimidation he was a registered sex
offender there you go captain in Indiana this would be for the confinement charge which involved an
underage victim I don't have I'm looking here I don't have the information if this underage victim was male or female
either way he's still a pedo and then here's a quote from the when I go to theou when I go to the jewelry store I'm
a pedo here's a quote from the prosecutor quote he's been out on probation they're
talking about Bryce rhods obviously he has been given all the resources of the taxpayers to turn his life around if he
wanted to do that unfortunately he just continues to acrew new crimes and what he wanted to say was unfortunately he's
just a giant pile of [ __ ] right yeah you're right this seems like a very polite way to uh to word this about
Bryce rhods now remember that we said that police had arrested some teenage accomplice of Bryce rhods and one of
these accompli told police that he along with Maurice and Larry witnessed the Christopher Jones shooting okay
another was the the the boy the young man that said he accidentally ran over Jones after the shooting so Bryce rhods
had multiple teen accompli how do do we know how these accompli came forward did
they did they come forward or well it wasn't difficult because what you have is you have the the mother telling
police after her sons are found dead right but it wasn't difficult because we have the mother telling police look my
boy's left with Bryce rhods Anan Carter and jakori Taylor so what happens in Captain is they go all right well let's
go look for these three guys and ask them when's the last time they saw Maurice and Larry right and when you go
especially when you have young offenders when you have an Juan Carter who's only 15 you have jakori Taylor
who's only 17 you go and talk to them you put you turn the heat up a little bit and usually you start getting
information from these these young guys yeah you start going uh we know uh you want to turn your boyfriend Bryce in
because if you don't uh we're going to charge you as an adult and you're going to have many more boyfriends in your
life well and that's exactly what's going to happen so what we have here is both very quickly tell the police yes I
I was with Bryce and I was with the the other young man and we did in fact pick up Maurice and Larry that night so this
is the information they got from the mother is now being backed up by these young people Anan Carter and jakori
Taylor I also wonder how much again you get picked up you're riding around with people you know and I know and I I can
say from my own experience I've hung out with the wrong crowd and I learned pretty quickly when
you when somebody picks you up and then all of a sudden you're around a situation you never thought you were
supposed to be around you know right you walk into somebody's house and next thing you know uh there's a bunch of
drugs on the table and that's not you don't feel comfortable or there's drugs on the table and there's guns around and
you're going what and you're the youngest guy in the room there's there's situations that sometimes you didn't
even know you're you're getting into right uh and that's the problem with the bad crowd well and if there's any young
people out there listening and you happen to find yourself in a situation I know it it's uncomfortable and it
doesn't it doesn't seem easy but leave that's the best thing you can do if you go all of a sudden you're like oh my God
who am I hanging out with what's going on all this stuff they said before I thought they were joking yeah or never
again once you get back home never again I I say get out of there soon as you can
as soon as you can um and but but it's difficult you know I mean I remember hanging out with a group of older guys
and we went to the apartment and right before we went into the apartment they told me don't look at the guy I went
what wait don't look at the guy yeah just who is he Medusa look at the ground and I was like look at the ground
they're like well he doesn't know you so he's going to be uncomfortable well why
why the [ __ ] are we going there if this if I can't can't look at the guy in his
face and he's going to be so uncomfortable that some you again most teenagers are dumb I was a dumb teenager
once we yeah why are we going there we we don't know ask any of those guys today they go yeah I don't know why we
went there uh but what you have here Captain is they're going to be looking for all three of these individuals that
are named by the mom when they do pick them up we have the the younger two saying yes in fact I was there uh Bryce
did pick them up that night on that Saturday so now they they have nobody else telling them that Maurice and Larry
ever went anywhere else at any point right and they're going to know roughly about what time or what day that the
boys were killed because we have a short window to work with here they're found relatively
quickly and you have them telling police just enough just enough to keep them going so police are going to go you know
what we don't have any confessions here we don't have a huge amount of evidence but we got all three of these people
putting themselves with the victims around the time that we believe that they were murdered so we're going to
charge you guys why are we going to charge all three of you because we're hoping that once we crank up the heat

Brice Rhodes /// Part 1 /// 493

Part 1 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com (http://www.truecrimegarage.com/)

Brice Rhodes has been a major thorn in the side of the Kentucky Courts for the last five years. He is accused of three homicides. All three cases were quickly and easily linked to Brice as the perpetrator with a mountain of evidence against him in all three cases. But he is yet to be convicted. This week we review the crimes and the investigation that made the arrest and try to understand why this loser is not currently scheduled for his date with a lethal injection.
