Summary

If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Sgt. David Sexton at [email protected]

Kent Island, Maryland, located in Queen Anne County, is the largest island in Chesapeake Bay, and it is a picture perfect place, surrounded by water and large expanses of beaches. It’s a historic place that really embodies coastal living, with so much to do from biking, to swimming, to hiking through lush woods and tidal marshes. It is a place you would want to live if enjoying life is your main objective, and it is where 51 year old Robin Pope was living with her husband and two daughters when she went missing along with her beloved Great Dane Bella in March of 2013. Bella washed up on shore the next day, but it would be another twenty-two days before Robin’s body was found. The last person to see her alive was Robin’s estranged husband, Wayne Pope, but although the police have never been able to say conclusively whether Robin’s death was a result of foul play, or a simple tragic accident, those close to Robin believe they know the truth.

Hello everybody. Welcome back to Grime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow and I'm Derek Lvassert.

0:49.0

Today we are finishing up the Robin Pope case. So this is part two of a two part series. There's not going to be any more after this.

0:57.0

But we are going to wrap it up here. We're going to go over a couple more factors or features of the case.

1:03.0

We also have an interview with somebody who was on the case firsthand. Why don't you introduce him, Derek.

1:10.0

Yeah, Sergeant David Sexton. We kind of teased it last week. We actually did the interview earlier this week. So we didn't want to cram all this in into one episode and make it like a three hour episode.

1:19.0

So we really wanted to take time on certain parts of this case and then get David Sexton's opinion on those things so that we could have a full understanding of the case directly from the horse's mouth before you know spitting out some theories.

1:33.0

Yeah, and I really I really enjoyed the interview with him because I had a list of questions that I wanted to ask him as I was going through this case.

1:41.0

So I was able to kind of get those answered. We were able to clear up things with the timeline because we were kind of going through the gigs with the timeline in part one.

1:50.0

You guys didn't see it, but there was about 45 minutes of discussion where we had to go back and forth with different time zones and.

1:58.0

It was it took a much longer time last week to record the episode than usual, but I'm glad we did because now I feel like it's just a blazing in my mind and I cannot forget it.

2:07.0

And I'm talking to Sexton really brought that to life for me. So I think you guys are really going to enjoy hearing his perspective on this case and remember he was there. He talked to Wayne Pope. He interviewed Wayne Pope when you saw or heard that little portion of Wayne Pope's interview where somebody was saying like you killed your wife.

2:27.0

That was sergeant Sexton. So he's a badass. He's good at what he does. He knows what he's doing. I liked him a lot.

2:34.0

Yeah, he's a good dude and I was kind of praising him before you got a chance to meet him, but you can see he is really a genuine guy.

2:40.0

And he is good at what he does. And there are departments where we talk about how they're not really experienced and they don't get a lot of this type of crime.

2:49.0

Maryland State Police is the state police. I mean, they're they're overseeing the local police officers in the state of Maryland. So they're sergeant Sexton was telling me he's actually in charge of all police involved shootings in the state.

3:02.0

Now that's what his units doing. So they are the best of the best in the state of Maryland. And I really appreciated his willingness to come on be candid with us. We'll talk more about it after it.

3:11.0

But he was very transparent. He's a busy guy. He had just worked the case for 27 hours and he's still the lead detective on this case. So if anything comes from this, whether it's one of our listeners or one of our viewers, you're going to have a direct connection to him.

3:25.0

We'll be giving his information out in the actual interview. Yeah. And I think even more than that, he he genuinely cares about Robin Pope and solving her case. You can tell from talking to him.
