7 | Daniel Holtzclaw: Criminal Charges To Be Filed and ’The List’

July 16 - July 24, 2014: This episode has Oklahoma City Police Sex Crimes Detectives Rocky Gregory and Kim Davis presenting their 'Blue Sheets' to the Oklahoma County District Attorneys office. Assistant District Attorney Gayland Geiger agrees to file one count each of forcible oral sodomy against then Oklahoma City Police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, in response to allegations of sexual assault by Jannie Ligons and Terri Morris. 

Host and private investigator Brian Bates interviews former Oklahoma County prosecutor Angela Sonaggera to get her insights to the process of filing criminal charges.

Investigators then contact Daniel Holtzclaw's FOP lawyer Susan Knight and ask for Holtzclaw to provide them with a list of potential females that could match the DNA found on the fly of his uniform pants.

When Holtzclaw's attorney refuses the request, detectives develop a "list" of their own and start trying to track down the unidentified match to the DNA.

Investigators identify two potential matches; Kala Lyles and Sherry Ellis.
