Garrison began using Roscoe’s identity in certain transactions.
He forged signatures.
And created documents that could make Roscoe appear responsible for debts he hadn’t authorized.
When Roscoe discovered the extent of the scheme, he threatened to report everything.
Garrison panicked.
Then he proposed a plan.
A plan that would make Roscoe disappear.
According to the recordings, Garrison told Roscoe that the people involved in the financial scheme had threatened his family.
He claimed the only way to protect everyone was for Roscoe to leave temporarily.
Disappear.
Allow the situation to calm down.
Then return once the debts were resolved.
Roscoe refused.
But Garrison knew about the annual fishing trip.
He knew the lake.
The boat.
The schedule.
And the boys.
He arranged for Roscoe to meet him near the lake that weekend.
Roscoe believed they would discuss the financial records.
Instead, Garrison arrived with two men.
The men threatened Roscoe.
