As it says Alvin Bobach. 343 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.480 But it's Beau boof a boy whom he had previously 344 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:29.240 met at a skating rink, Which is funny because remember 345 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:31.759 David Ferry said that he was the only one who 346 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:36.279 knew how to skate right, hilarious. After the discussion, Butch 347 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.079 and Ferry drove me to flood in Burgundy Street. It 348 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.640 was about twelve noon. I walked over to mister Cruschet's 349 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.640 house and shortly after the police arrived. The rest is 350 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.240 a Q and a question. How long have you known 351 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.720 the Cruche family? About three years? I visited them regularly 352 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.799 and they visit me. Had you known Ferry before this incident? 353 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.200 Never saw him before in my life. Had you ever 354 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:01.559 known the boy named Butch? No, only by sights. I've 355 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:07.119 seen him at a skating rink in the past. So 356 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:09.799 what is it with skating rinks? Right? My opinion, it's 357 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.480 where these kids can get trafficked and doesn't look out 358 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:14.720 a place for kids to be there, right, any place 359 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:16.519 it would look normal for a kid to be, It 360 00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:21.119 would be a good place to traffic them. Is there 361 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.240 anything more you'd like to add? At about four pm 362 00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.960 February sixteenth, I received a phone call at my house 363 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.160 from Alvin boboof a boy I know from the skating rink. 364 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.319 I asked him where I was and he stated that 365 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.599 where he was. This is all kind of jumbled. I 366 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.039 asked him where he was. He said he was at 367 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:43.599 Dave Ferry's house. He stated that he had someone on 368 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.839 the line who wanted to talk to me. Some other 369 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:49.160 boys whom I don't know and who didn't identify himself 370 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.319 spoke with me and asked if I had made a 371 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:54.200 statement to the police. I told him no. He told 372 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.920 me that David Ferry was trying to help me and 373 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:58.640 other boys told me that police had been to Faerry's 374 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.000 house and picked him up. He asked me if I 375 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:02.920 had ever heard the police threat and to kill Ferry, 376 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.960 even get even with him, or make remarks about it. 377 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:09.880 The conversation ended when I told him that I wasn't interested. 378 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.160 Do you have any idea of how Ferry got your 379 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.519 name and phone number at work? No? Is this statement 380 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.440 true and corrected the best of your knowledge? Yes, signed 381 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.440 John Cater. So interesting statement from Cater m all right. 382 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:27.279 Continuing on page three, investigating officers feel that Cater is 383 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.960 being used by Ferry in order that Ferry can gain 384 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.759 an acquittal in his appending cases in the courts of 385 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.000 Orleans and Jefferson Parish. Investigating officers would also point out 386 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.880 that Cater once hung around a skating rink and knew 387 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.519 many young boys, which included boboof and Marsh whom Cater 388 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.599 only knew his Butcher. Thus, Cater would be a good 389 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:51.480 target for Fairry's threats and intimidation. Officers check the Police 390 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.920 Bureau of Identification and found that they have no record 391 00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.640 on John Cater. The District Attorney will be consulted. Signed 392 00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:06.960 Fournier and Joea Investigators.
