Hi, producer Ben Kiebert here. So this bonus episode we're doing something a little different.

We're going to start by sharing a side story that got cut from episode 5.

So just after Deputy Marcus Guidry found McKay's body in the Ashlei swamp, he saw a car exit off the highway and head right towards him, and he nearly got into a shootout.

We'll pick up the story from there, and then transition into an extended interview with

Giddery and a deputy from the nearby Iberville Parish Jerry Stassie who also went

out to the swamp that night.

Before Marcus could even radio in his findings, he saw headlights approaching from the distance.

He wondered what anyone was doing out in this remote

area in the middle of the night. I saw it coming off of the ramp and then it turned this

way. Anyone coming down here I'm cautious about. In my career we've found some

very bad people walking here and you know looking for an opportunity.

Marcus didn't know it but the headlights were coming from Deputy Jerry Stasi.

Stasi was patrolling the area that night, and he was suspicious when he saw Marcus's

black Camaro parked in such a desolate area.

I think it was what two o'clock in the morning something like that. I mean this is a place right here

that's known for dumping bodies and stuff. I had to find out what was going on.

When it got a little closer, I realized it was a patrol unit.

But the situation was tense.

I mean, that time I'm in a plane close and more car and I'm standing there next

the body. So it was kind of a standoff to.

Did she about draw your gun on him? It was close.

It was close, yeah.
