13-The Senseless Murder of Race Car Driver and Local Hero Donnie Ray Crawford III

Today we are joined by Patrick Reynolds from Waves Entertainment to discuss another never covered case on a podcast forum.  We will tell the story about the senseless murder of  24-year-old race car driver, Donnie Ray Crawford III.  Donnie Ray, Number 55, was competing in the prestigious Chili Bowl midget racing event held in nearby Tulsa, Oklahoma the week of his murder.

On January 14, 2012,  Donnie Ray Crawford III was shot and killed by his 74-year-old grandfather, Daniel Garcia.  Donnie’s  parents, Jodie and Donnie, came to their son's defense and, in the scuffle, Daniel Garcia was also killed.  After you hear this story of such an incredible young man, please visit the Donnie Ray Crawford – Donnie Ray Crawford Legacy Foundation to learn more.
