A KHOU-TV reporter who was covering the story decided she wanted to try it out. She was shot. The demonstration shows what officers are up against in real life and what they face daily.

GATOR BAYOU ADVENTURE-NEW CANEY, TX
Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Gator Bayou Adventure Park officially opens. Many wonders why at the beginning of winter would you open a water park. The answer, it is much more than a water park. Multi-story obstacle courses, gator exhibits, a petting zoo, restaurants, zip lines, and an 80-foot free fall platform. The project which many thoughts would never take off was started in 2013, Since then over 20-miles of underground water lines, sewer lines, additional retention ponds, thousands of yards of concrete and 150 fire hydrants. Many of the slides are still under construction and are expected to be complete Spring Break. Admission to the park is free, however, some of the extras will cost you such as feeding the Gators, some of the zip lines but this way you can come in and just watch or enjoy the day.
Gator Bayou is located on SH 242 just west of US 59. The hours will be 10-6

SAN JACINTO COUNTY 2019 COLD CASE MURDER OF TEXAS PRISON GUARD SOLVED SUSPECT ARRESTED
The body of Rhonda Richardson. 59, a prison guard a the Polunsky Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, she was a resident of Shepherd was found on May 22, 2019, in a wooded area of the Sam Houston National Forest in San Jacinto County. She had multiple slashes on her body and blunt-force trauma to her head and face. When she was found she was fully clothed and on her back. She had been there for several days in the heat of May. There was no indication of a struggle, and there was no blood, but her boots had been removed and placed neatly next to her. What made detectives think it was a murder possibly connected to where she worked was that she still had her jewelry on. Richardson had a routine after she returned home from work daily on Hoot Road off FM 2666, and that was walking her dogs. She was found very deep in the woods across from her home but close to an ATV trail. She was found by two males riding an ATV. One of those males was Robert Clary. Clary lived just around the corner from Richardson and knew her. One thing that puzzled investigators was after finding the body, instead of calling authorities he went and told his family about it. He even tried to get his nephew to call it in saying that if he called it in he would be considered a suspect since he lived close by and knew her. He even returned to the scene to take photos of the body. Investigators were finally called by a nephew of Clary’s who Clary had taken to the scene. Investigators were suspicious of Clary from the beginning.. He told them that he knew she had been out days earlier looking for her dogs in the woods. That was the first red flag, Investigators learned from her family that she was scared of snakes. In fact, when she mowed her property he always packed a pistol. Her pistol was found at her home. After talking to other persons in the area they learned that she was seen on his ATV with him. Richardson’s body was sent to the Southeast Texas Forensic Center in Beaumont where Dr. Brown positively identified her. There were no signs of sexual assault that they could determine due to the extent of the decomposition of her body. In addition, no DNA could be recovered. Dr. Brown could not positively determine a cause of death. It was then that San Jacinto County Detectives contacted Dr. Joan Bytheway, an anthropologist and the director of Applied Anatomical Research at Sam Houston State University n Huntsville. During the second autopsy, she performed she felt Richardson had been sexually assaulted. Detectives still could not determine a motive. Detectives found no drug involvement. Texas Department of Criminal Justice was contacted and also investigated the prison system to determine if she had been a target but ended up empty-handed. Richardson had been with TDC for 25 years and was about to retire within months. Search warrants were obtained and a search was done of Clary’s residence, a travel trailer fenced-in surrounded by plants and yard art. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Crime Lab was also contacted and responded to assist. The ATV was taken back to the Crime Lab for analysis. The home was searched. One thing noted was the odor of bleach and a bleach container on the counter, still not enough to get a murder warrant. Items were taken from the house including a rug back to the crime lab in Montgomery County. Detective Gary Sharpen, along with being an Investigator was also in the Army Reserves. During the time of the investigation, his unit was called up to assist on the border. The time away didn’t stop him as he still followed leads and talked with people. He still could not positively link Clary to the murder. He kept looking at Clary’s past. . Clary had been arrested before but had been years earlier. He had five prior DWI cases. In June of 1990 and again in November of 1991, and again in June of 1992 all of which were in Harris County. Then in 1994, he was again arrested for his fourth DWI. That was in Montgomery County. For that, he was sentenced to 7 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after spending almost 9-months in the Montgomery County Jail. On June 21, 2003, he was arrested for his fifth DWI in Montgomery County for which Judge Underwood sentenced him to 4 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The DWI cases were just a few of his array of prior charges. He had several assault charges in Harris County both in 1998 and 2004. In 2007 he was arrested in Harris County on a felony charge of indecency with a child by exposing. He was sentenced to 5 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. ……
