Occupation: Detective, Stillwater Police

He named his youngest daughter for his older sister.
When he was ten, his parents divorced and his electrician father left to join the rodeo circuit, with limited success, for three years until injuries forced him to retire, and death took him at 48 from the effects of long-term drug and alcohol abuse. His police officer mother moved to a house on the same block as her parents, his maternal grandparents. His mother and cop grandfather were killed when he was seventeen in what was called the Stillwater Riots.
Weeks after his grandmother died, he was brutally beaten, set upon by three men. The same night, after Chantal left his bedside, she was raped at knifepoint. Both were set up by Alva’s husband, Garrett Wicker, and probably he had pictures taken to show Alva what would happen if she tried to get away or tell anybody about the abuse.
When Eve called him with the notification of Alva’s death, he thought it was his asshole friend Hank who put her up to calling him to tease him about the Yankees beating the Oklahoma Buffaloes that night, as the game was just starting.
He reluctantly agreed to let Eve handle getting justice for Alva, which she did by forcing Wicker to give up his badge and serve ten years for spousal abuse and other crimes.
