we asked the simple question where's Jimmy and we were leading up to a possible break in the case hinting that
there would be a break in this case now the break would come nearly three months
after his disappearance and it would come at the suspicions of one woman Suzanne shinehaus but she was not
suspicious in regards to Jimmy Rice's case no she was suspicious for other reasons and in fact
her involvement in this case actually started before Jimmy Rice even went missing and this was in August and
September of 1995 when Susan scheinhaus reported to the local police several times that items from her home including
a handgun and some jewelry were missing from her residence per court records the
trailer is housed on a property that's owned by a one David Santana so no relation to Susan shine house but what
we have here Captain is there's a situation where Susan scheinhaus she owns she's pretty well to do and owns a
horse ranch and a large amount of property so she has people working for her on her properties and some of the
other people in this general area are sharing some of those workers working at their properties as well
she has this situation where some of her items are missing from her home again these are items of value a handgun and
some jewelry after filing multiple police reports and passing along suspicions to the authorities they're
kind of their hands are tied they cannot pursue any of the people that she's suspicious of so she tells one of her
friends about what's going on hey there's some items missing from my home this is what I think is happening but I
don't really have any proof I can't get the police to act on it because again there's no evidence
I have no proof here in any of my suspicions her friend tells her why don't you go talk to this psychic maybe
she can direct you to your items maybe they're misplaced maybe somebody did take them who knows so she decides to go
to the psychic and the psychic kinda confirms some of Suzanne's suspicions saying you will find the items that
you're looking for on a trailer located in this specific area now the trailer that you're referring to Captain would
later be referred to as either the avocado Grove trailer or the horse farm trailer what she does here is the man
that lives in this trailer Matt Foley and works as a handyman and a farmhand on her property his name is Juan Carlos
Chavez she sends him out to do some errands keep him busy for the day and this is on
December 5th 1995. she takes her son with her his name's Edward shine house and a locksmith and
they open up the trailer to go inside to see if they can find the items that are
missing from Susan's home they're inside the trailer in plain sight they find the
missing handgun now this was a handgun that she had purchased in April of 1989. again she finds it in plain view on the
counter in the kitchen opposite the trailer door after finding the gun her and her son continued to
look inside the trailer looking for the missing jewelry when they discovered inside of a closet
area a book bag which was partially open looking inside the bag Suzanne saw papers and books the work appeared to be
in a child's handwriting and she noticed the name Jimmy Rice on some of the papers
she observed this name on one of the books as well now this is going to send off major red flags for the shine houses
yeah because in the local community everybody's asking where is Jimmy where's Jimmy that's the common phrase
going around town and has been for almost three months now so everybody knew the name Jimmy Rice in fact it was
later said that that on that day September 11 1995 he went from being not just Dawn and claudine's son
but the son of the whole Community looking for this child Jimmy Rice so immediately Mrs shinehouse notifies the
FBI saying hey this is some stuff some weird stuff that I just found in this dude's trailer who's working for me this
Juan Carlos Chavez but also this book bag and in general has been talked about like you were saying his mother was
saying well look he would throw down his his book bag and run so you got this whole Community going
where is Jimmy and you find this book bag with all his school belongings yeah I mean just strange stuff not what she
was anticipating right even though she is suspicious of this man she was looking to find other items in his
trailer and did so in the course but finding this item as well she contacts the FBI and so the FBI and
the Metro Dade Police show up on scene they view the items they take a look around in the trailer and now they're
waiting for Juan Carlos Chavez to return to this property and he does so a little after 7
pm on the evening of December 6th where he is quickly surrounded and arrested without incident he's patted down they
read him as Miranda rights and now it's time to take this man in for interrogation
I wonder if he had at some point realized that he's been duped and they're going through his belongings so
who is this man well 28 year old Chavez first arrived in the United States in 1991 this after a raft ride from Cuba to
South Florida with two other individuals he had previously served time in Cuba after attempting to steal a boat from a
military base in 1986 this during a previous attempt to flee the country for which he was caught and sentenced to
four years in prison but only served one year and 11 months Chavez had served in
the Cuban military after he was drafted he was granted permanent residency in 1993 under the Cuban adjustment act
which gave automatic residency to most Cubans after a year in the United States while a criminal history could prevent
residency from being granted we have a situation where the United States and Cuba had no diplomatic
relations so a criminal check was nearly impossible according to an Immigration and Naturalization official quote I
guess they felt like this was a military related case so he got his green card in
quote it is worth noting that once Chavez was identified the rice family I have such respect for Don and Claudine
rice and all of the the rice family and it breaks my heart to see what they were
forced to go through but these are smart and understanding people and I think this just kind of shows who
they really are the rice family very quickly denounced what they called stupid Prejudice requesting that the
community ignore Chavez's Cuban Roots as Don rice said quote some people have come to the family to say that they are
ashamed of being Cuban and Hispanic I just want to make clear that evil comes in many ways there is nothing to
apologize for our fight is with Predators yeah now that they have Chavez in custody they're going to be able to
interrogate him which I believe the interrogation went for roughly 55 hours it took place over the course of two
days yeah and this was some pretty intense stuff it was so lengthy due in part to the different stories
that Chavez is going to provide law enforcement to try to explain away why he is in possession of the book bag of a
missing nine-year-old child right so his first story is that he simply found the
book bag and he found it in a field and he brought it back to his trailer and he's
had it ever since I don't know what date he claims to have found it or why he decided to bring a child's book bag back
to his trailer that's not important because as quickly as police explained to him look we're not buying that story
could you try to prove to us that that is in fact how you came to be in possession of this book bag
he quickly moves on to another story all right so now we're interrogating and I don't know how many hours have gone by
yet Captain but now we have a different story and we see this time and time again he may have provided
detectives with 10 stories a dozen stories maybe dozens of stories but we see this time and time again with
certain types of offenders where it starts off as oh you got me in cuffs and you're asking me the hard questions
starts off as I had nothing to do with this to then a completely different story hours later of yeah I'm involved
but I'm still kind of innocent and let me tell you why so one of the stories he comes up with is that
when he was out working and driving for work on September 11 after 3 pm he's returning back to his
place of work when he accidentally struck and hit a boy with his vehicle crushing the boy between the vehicle
he's driving and a guard rail and he didn't think that anybody would believe him about what had happened that
this was simply an accident so he decided to conceal the body of this boy that he hit on the side of the
road well there's some problems with that story Mr Chavez first of all there's no
damage to the vehicle that you're driving and there is no damage to any guard rail or fence that we can find
even though we have him take us to the scene of this quote-unquote accident we can't find any evidence of there being
any kind of vehicle accident at all that's my favorite in the cases is where they know the person's lying and they
still have to do their due diligence and go out like here Chavez oh yeah you say
there was a wreck let's go out to the scene nope there's no evidence of the wreck or
probably my favorite one that we've ever covered is when Casey Anthony took detectives to her work and uh they go
all the way there and I'll go down a couple hallways and do a couple things and then she turns around goes
I don't work here right that's right turns around this is I don't work here I lied yeah and that's where you know
sometimes we have situations I don't want to I'm not going to sit here and pretend that CSI is real and these TV
shows are real and that's the way that things work we know better than that they're not real we know better than
that here in the garage and the people that tune in know better than that as well but this is where I have to believe
that entertainment is mirroring reality when you see the annoyed detective that just looks at the guy after they prove
to him that okay your first story didn't work your fifth Story didn't work this last one that we had to come out here to
location to make sure that you didn't get in a vehicle accident didn't work you know where you see the
annoyed detective who goes all right care to try this again Mr Chavez yeah but here's where I think Chavez brain
was right I I found the book bag then when he says I found the book bag I think he started figuring out well they
probably know my route that I take for work and so once he started assuming that law
enforcement went ah they they probably know certain things about my schedule already
based on possibly they talked to my employers and I think that's why he ended up changing his story initially to
go oh well yeah I was I happened to be on my my route for work and I came across this kid and that is
partial truth over the course of this interrogation and after having been repeatedly advised of his Miranda rights
and then waving them this is when Chavez finally provided well the real version after providing several
versions of his involvement in Jimmy's disappearance we only get to the truth after the
physical evidence resulting from their investigation that they've had so far and anything that they've discussed with
Chavez totally discredited each version of events that Juan Carlos gave to the investigators to which he finally
agreed to tell the truth however Chavez explained that before he would disclose the location of Jimmy's remains he
wanted the officers to guarantee that he would in fact receive the death penalty
for his involvement in this case now the detectives told this man look we can't guarantee
you that's not the kind of thing we can make happen uh from our position but given the nature of the crime and what
they suspected he was about to tell them they didn't think that it was going to be difficult for this man to receive the
death penalty yeah hold on a second so normally what happens I'm gonna I'm guessing it's normally because that's
normally when we cover a case that's what happens is you have a situation where somebody wants to confess but what
they want to take off the table is the death penalty yes this uh rectum socket he's like hey I will tell you
what happened but you got to keep the death penalty on the table he wants to guarantee that the
death penalty will be imposed in his case exactly right yeah so he's like okay well I'm going to tell you what
happened but now you need to charge me and you need to go after the death penalty he also interesting he also
wanted to make it clear to detectives that the events that took place would not have happened had he not been
sexually battered by a relative in Cuba so he goes on to tell these detectives after a quick break
he walks into the room after using the restroom and says what do you want to know I'll tell you what
happened to Jimmy Rice and he proceeded to admit that he abducted Jimmy at gunpoint
traveled back to the horse ranch with him where he sexually assaulted Jimmy before finally shooting him now this is
when detectives say okay you know great thank you for telling us the truth but we're going to need the details we're
going to need the details and we need to find the boy's remains they probably said look we need the Deets well Chavez
said that when he was out working driving around that he observed some young children playing in water this on
his way home from Home Depot at approximately 3 P.M on September 11th he said some of the boys were wearing just
their underwear and as he saw the young boys wearing just the underwear they're getting wet he took an interest in them
after observing the children he said that he drove off and a short while later he was still
picturing the children and he decided that at some point he wanted to abduct a child so while this
is occurring he's driving and he says that he sees another young boy sees a Boy by himself this later turns out to
be Jimmy Rice right at this point he's feeling something sexual and he wants to that he wants to take this young boy
that he sees and he says that he used the gun the stolen gun that he has this is a 38 caliber gun and he pulls up and
he blocks Jimmy Rice's path with the vehicle steps out and points the gun at the boy and says do
you want to die he grabs the kid by the shirt pulls him into the vehicle tells him to get down
on like the um the floor board area of the the vehicle so that he wouldn't be seen by other passengers and he drives
him back to his trailer or the trailer that he's staying in at the time and this is where the rape takes place now
this is horrific I don't know and don't care to go into the details of what happens at the trailer at this
point but one thing that I strongly question is how much he was willing to admit to because approximately four
hours takes place between him getting to the trailer and the time that he decides
to leave the trailer now I want everybody out there to I want to be very clear about this
the the following story is Juan Carlos Chavez's story as he claims it to be and we will go
through this a little more here in a minute but I'm going to start tell it from start to finish
but I want to be clear I don't believe 100 this is exactly what took place and what happened he says that about four
hours after bringing the boy to the trailer that he decided to let Jimmy go he was going to return him to either
near his home or the location where he abducted the boy well initially he also does say you know
the his objective initially was to just abduct and to molest a child he says that as he approached the area that he
was going to drop the boy off there was a strong police presence there and this caused him to panic it spooked him and
he didn't know what to do so he decided to return with the boy to the trailer once back at the trailer they're there
for I don't know how long I mean we're getting into the nighttime hours now there's a lot of police out looking for
Jimmy at this time and there are helicopters um that they are using and I don't know
if it was a helicopter specific to the search for Jimmy rice or if it just happened to be a helicopter that flew
over the area flew over top of the trailer where Jimmy and this man are but he gets up
again he's kind of Paranoid by this point according to his own words he's looking out the window to see what's
going on and he says that's when Jimmy made a run for the door and so Chavez reacts he's got a gun
she shoots the boy shooting him in the back yeah claiming that he held on to the boy to I guess comfort him as he lie
there dying well you see this a lot of times with criminals where right when they commit the crime they
become hyper paranoid yeah we saw that and we actually had the words of Dennis Rader and several other killers that
we've talked about here in the garage where you know Dennis Rader said that as soon as he committed the murders he
fully expected police to arrive at his doorstep within minutes or hours of committing
that crime and I believe we had the same thing happen with Ed Kemper when he killed his
grandparents and when when nobody showed up Ed Kemper just called it in yeah but yeah you're right
there's that immediate paranoia that sets in according to these types that hey everybody knows what I just did all
of a sudden they magically know yeah and not all killers but just it seems to be
and a percentage of them where crime happens and then I prepare paranoid some of them don't get scared at all
which is completely bizarre but then he goes on to say that he needed a place to
hide the body so he's out driving around looking for either a location or something to help him conceal the body
of this boy and which he found a barrel one of those large metal drums he loaded it into the vehicle I believe
this was a van or a truck I'm sorry a van returns to the trailer places the boy's
body in that barrel for the meantime and he decides later that he's going to need
to bury the remains to which he ends up using attempting to use a backhoe on one
of the properties that he's working he can't get the backhoe to work properly it's malfunctioning for whatever reason
so he decides that he's going to have to dismember the boy and he buries I'm going to use air quotes there buries the
remains in cement in several large Planters he was hoping that the cement and the Planters of course would make it
so that the remains were never to be detected you fast forward to early December where
the shine houses make their way into his trailer and find these things this damning evidence that
is going to lead police directly to the killer of Jimmy Rice and that's one of those weird things that you know there's
a lot of weird things in any of these cases and in this case there are those weird things but here's a case Captain
where nearly three months later this guy this monster for whatever reason decided
made a conscious decision to hold on to this book bag yeah had this book bag never been found
he's working on Long Division I wonder if we would have ever known what really happened here to Jimmy Rice probably not
because there was nothing connecting Juan Carlos Chavez to him other than that book bag this was in every sense of
the phrase a stranger abduction according to Juan Carlos Chavez now I want to point out some things that I
call into question in regards to Mr Chavez's story I like how he is constantly minimizing
his culpability in this case right he presents his story and he presents himself as an impulsive human
being who made a mistake versus a monster a child predator and that's really what he is at the end of the day
and a piece of [ __ ] the statement of he was going to return Jimmy but oh I panicked I I I got scared I didn't know
what to do when I saw the police in that area he claimed that he only had to kill him
because the boy tried to escape he said that he had to dismember the boy because the backhoe wouldn't work and he
was unable to bury the boy you ever heard of a shovel the other thing too he says he only was going to
molest the boy or had or he was molested and that's why he wanted to abduct and rape a boy
again taking minimizing his own culpability in any of this situations there's there's always a reason that led
him to do the next despicable disgusting act that he that he decided to do himself and the
other thing too that we have to keep in mind according to law enforcement and the
courts these items were reported stolen many times several times in August and September what was the
purpose for him stealing that gun in the first place why did he happen to have that gun with
him in the vehicle on the day that he's working when he just so happened to stumble across a Jimmy Rice walking
alone by himself after he just happened to see some boys playing in the water together barely wearing any clothing
right I start to see a situation where this man decided he needed a gun for some reason at some point and he decided
to steal one I see a situation where I think this guy could have been driving around looking
for a boy and he could have been looking for a boy for weeks or months and it wasn't until he got that gun that
he thought that he was going to get what he was after [Music] foreign we're back cheers mates
hope everybody's having a good week cheers to you captain now sadly the Jimmy Rice story did not end the way
that anybody wanted it to end the I mean just to add to the sadness and add to add to the devastation here
the trailer and the property where the remains were recovered of this boy right we're less than two miles away from his
home and all this time those answers were much closer than they thought all those
search efforts never LED them to Jimmy Rice yeah but sometimes I think the world
the universe the powers that be trying to make things right boy goes missing we don't know what
happens these items went missing before the boy went missing but once she then seeks out
some confirmation about her beliefs a psychic tells her hey I have this energy saying that there's items and you'll
find them in this trailer and like you said she finds this gun she finds the book bag
I think one it wasn't a mistake that he just left the book bag in there that was
kind of some souvenir but I also like you said I would lean to the idea that he might have been
attracting these individuals and tracking these kids because they get dropped off on a main
route that that's the main route you would drive you would be driving through these neighborhoods
to and from Home Depot you take main streets but if you're on the prowl looking for children
well follow a couple buses see who they drop off right so I'm with you where I think
this was something that he thought about maybe fantasize about maybe even try to
look I'll try to give him the benefit of the doubt maybe he even tried to suppress these fantasies
but then like like you were saying I think this is was premeditated maybe he even pulled up in front of a kid once or
twice before and chickened out at the last minute yeah you see that all the time so I think really what we
see here is what we've seen so many times before where he's just trying to minimize his yes I did this but I I did
I did a because of this happening I did B because that happened and so on and so
forth and it just continues on and on and on well yeah I think that's maybe where we disagree because
he wants the death penalty to be on the table he wants to be sentenced to death so
that's kind of odd motivation that's a kind of an odd motive to um to change your story to minimize your
story you think if anything you want to appear more of a monster so you can guarantee that you get that death
penalty he could have waived his appeals he didn't bother to do that though he appealed this thing like crazy
and that's the thing look I when you have somebody when you're talking about a child predator and a child killer I
mean the worst of of the worst and you and I we we just will not have the ability to crawl inside the minds of
these people and um but we have Shrunk the Kids but what's that I said I've seen Honey I
Shrunk the Kids but I don't know if they can make me small enough to to get inside there but when we look at these
things it's it's very fair for us to look at his words his statements and his actions and question every single one of
them did he say something dumb like hey I want to make sure that you put me to death did he want to throw that out
there just so hey when we get to court I'm gonna I want everybody to know that only only a person outside of his mind
would be saying Hey I want you to put me to death right there's something wrong with me clearly so you know we should
question everything that this type of person would do because he's shown us what He is capable of now the aftermath
of this thing Captain as we said Jimmy really became the child of a community and there were 600 people nearly 600
people that gather to honor this boy who died too soon at his funeral Reverend Leonard brusso who led the service at St
Andrews Episcopal Church said during the course of his sermon because Jimmy Rice
was with us his contemporaries his classmates and teammates and children he never knew all are becoming safer from
predators and pedophiles who would prey on them because Jimmy Rice was with us awareness of the perils that stalk our
streets and playgrounds and schools and sanctuaries places we had hoped were safe is being raised up to a new and
higher level one and it's really good one this community but also his family his mom and dad to say hey look there's
this tragedy this tragic thing that happened to our family but we're gonna make sure
that Jimmy Rice's name it is uh synonymous with good in this world yeah and when people have a free moment
I would encourage everyone to go to Jimmy Rice dot org and Rice's r-y-c-e dot org and you can see the
Jimmy Rice Center that was set up by his parents and the community and this they
really do so many things there that it's difficult for us in our limited time to
explain everything that they do but even after their son's body was discovered after the funeral his parents
Claudine and Don rice worked to improve the national system of tracking missing children by using both the internet and
greater cooperation among law enforcement agencies Claudine rice said quote publicity caught the man so she
dedicated herself to generating more publicity and public cooperation in missing child cases
by the time of Jimmy's funeral a petition that would make it easier for law enforcement agencies across the
country to coordinate search efforts had already amassed over 300 000 signatures
Florida's U.S delegation filed the Jimmy Rice ASAP child assistance act to make it easier to post photos of missing
children in federal and state buildings this brings us Captain to 2014. at 802 pm on Wednesday February 12 2014
Juan Carlos Chavez lie on a gurney in a brightly lit room with leather straps around his wrists
and ankles and IVs for the lethal injection inserted into his arms he did not give us a last statement so to speak
it actually came in the form of a Chavez's last statement came in the form of a rambling handwritten note composed
hours before his execution in the note he didn't apologize to the Rices nor did he claim he was innocent of the crime
for which he would be executed instead he wrote of his faith and his wish that Christ's love reached those who in their
pain desire my death no word or man will rob me of my peace today he was executed on that day his
last meal consisted of a rib eye steak french fries a fruit cup strawberry ice cream and mango juice it just always
drives me nuts when they when they eat something or something strange like mango juice I like mango juice right
when I hear that this son of a [ __ ] drank some mango juice I never want to drink mango juice again
I don't want to be anywhere close to the to an animal like this at 8 17 PM Chavez was declared dead around
two dozen reporters gathered in front of the Florida State Prison in preparation
for the execution sadly Jimmy's mother Claudine and his half-sister had already passed away by
this point but Jimmy's father and half-brother were both in attendance none of the 19 Witnesses showed any
emotion during the execution though pain was apparent on diet though pain was apparent in Don Rice's
eyes immediately after this execution Captain Don rice gives a statement that's videotaped recorded and it's you
can find it still to this day and I believe you can find it at jimmyrice.org as well it's also on YouTube
Don rice is addressing pedophiles who might abduct children yeah and he says do not kill the child
do not kill the child because if you kill the child people will not forget people will not forgive
we will hunt you down and we will put you to death that being a warning to anybody that
would abduct the child letting them know you still have a chance to return this kid to drop them off somewhere
to to get them out of your possession you always have that opportunity until you don't
don't kill the child this is what happens and he goes on to say that if there was ever a person ever a man
that deserved to be put to death it was Chavez who killed his son now Don rice passed away last year
and he did so much great work before his passing his wife did so much great work
before hers and their son Jimmy's half-brother continues to do that great work today again we have the
Jimmy Rice Center who does they do so many different things plus there was the 1998 Jimmy Rice Act
this was something that was put into our system to create and change the system so that sexually
violent Predators can remain in state custody long after finishing their prison sentences so that they would be
evaluated and they it would be determined if they were ready for release or not it's a way to keep them
housed in a facility that might not be an actual state prison or be monitored once they are out I want to bring up
here Captain a quote from Colleen Nick Colleen Nick is the mother of Morgan Nick a girl who disappeared and has
never been found or located since her disappearance a case that we have covered here in the garage and the quote
is I remember standing in the middle of the chaos thinking I wish I had a book to tell me what to do child abductions
are rare stranger child abductions are even more rare very few people very few law enforcement agencies actually know
what to do in the proper order to do them when this does occur because they are rare Don rice said that
unfortunately when they started their investigation he wanted to see them start their investigation but they
appeared to be starting from scratch because they had never investigated a child stranger abduction law enforcement
the Department of Justice with the help of several family members and parents of
missing and abducted children got together and they created a book called when your child is missing a
family survival guide and this is a pretty substantial book with a lot of great information in it and a lot of
great resources there's even a to-do list for you for the first 24 hours The First 48 Hours things that you should be
doing to help find and locate your child now God forbid that any of us ever need
it I'm just simply pointing out that it is there it is available for free for anybody that wants it you can find it by
simply Googling that title when your child is missing a family survival guide and again if anybody wants to find out
more about the Jimmy Rice Center the website is Jimmy Rice dot org obviously one of many things that they
want to do is increase public awareness of sexual predators they want to help bring kids home like so many other
organizations do there's a bevy of resources there available on their website there's also
ways for you to get involved in ways that you can help others now one thing that the Jimmy Rice Center does is that
they provide AKC Bloodhounds free to law enforcement to help find abducted and lost persons and children and according
to their website they say a bloodhound has 60 times the scent power of a German shepherd and is the only dog that can
follow a human Trail more than a few hours old a bloodhound is your single best bet for bringing a child abducted
by a predator home alive at the Jimmy Rice Center we believe that Jimmy would be alive today if a bloodhound had
immediately been brought into the search for our sun I am happy to announce and say here and thankful to everybody who
have donated this week and in previous weeks to our beer fund and we've said in the past us that we have what we call
spillover Money the captain and I call it spillover money and we've used some of that spillover money to go to a lot
of great different that help law enforcement and help victims of crimes and one thing we were able to do this
week in honor of Jimmy Rice in the Jimmy Rice Center was to make a donation to the Jimmy Rice Center they say that it
takes about a thousand dollars for the center to provide these AKC Bloodhounds to a law enforcement agency and because
of all of you out there we were able to make a donation of one thousand dollars to the Jimmy Rice Center and before we
wrap up today we'd like to leave you with the words of Don rice a short clip from his statement given to the media
after his son's killer was put to death don't kill the child don't kill the child because if you do
people will not forget they will not forgive we will hunt you down and we will put you to death
[Music] I want to thank everybody so much for joining us here in the garage would be

Jimmy Ryce /// Part 2 /// 519

Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

September 11th is a difficult day for our country. For one family the sadness of that date began back in 1995. That was the day that Jimmy Ryce disappeared and he became the boy that everyone knew and was looking for. He became the boy that was taken. Everyone in south Florida was asking, “Where’s Jimmy?” Little did they know the answer to that question was much closer to home than they thought. Join us in the Garage as we discuss one of Florida's more infamous missing child cases.
