Im going to binge 🥰

[@rashellhunther3548]

Just imagine how many other ppl he’s made disappear. He’s a serial killer with a badge.

[@marilynegomez6097]

Exactly 💯 true

[@chrisjenkins203]

The guy hasn’t been a cop for nearly 20 years and everything they did, trying to prove he did something, has never turned up a shred of evidence. After he sold his home in Florida and moved. The new owners allowed police to go through the house, in detail and still, nothing was found. They even dig up his back yard but have never found a single thing.

[@marionhope7506]

If you think that he is operating alone, you are mistaken. There’s. NO WAY that officer single-handedly subdued those young men alone, unless he cuffed and restrained them first. He more than likely delivered them into the hands of other like minded HATERS. His badge is used to throw off suspicions from REAL investigators.

[@babyzoe9147]

@@marionhope7506 he must’ve. Also the department might be covering up for him. A kid from that county said Steve and his crew chased him on the beach and intimidated him.

[@supachaloopa3611]

If anyone thinks that the 2 men are that officer's only victims, you need to wake up. That officer is obviously a serial killer. Wait and see. It isn't the first time police are responsible for the "mysterious disappearance" or "mysterious death" of people they have taken into custody. Sounds like that officer literally drove around looking for victims. Just like a serial killer would do.

[@tltfaas]

I agree with you. When I watched this I immediately thought this guy is a serial killer and someday he will be found out.

[@jeneanh2471]

Yes I thought the same thing

[@janelightning73]

I agree.

[@mid_century_me]

Absolutely it's the cop. I've seen this case years ago, even then it was obvious. Hopefully some justice will come of it.

[@sandraelrod5108]

I agree totally. It's no coincidence, I believe there's more. So disgraceful on all levels. I cannot imagine these people's grief.

[@bighomiemac3472]

It's because that deputy is not the only person responsible. He's the face of a group of actors.

[@marionhope7506]

Exactly. We were made aware by the Obama DOJ that law enforcement has be infiltrated by WS domestic terrorists. This has been the way that they have remained “invisible” for decades. But they’re NOT invisible. People are either too ignorant, scared, or distracted to see these cowards for what they are, DEVILS.👿

[@monicarichardson2086]

I pray these families get answers!

[@lindastonebraker2512]

I’m so happy Tyler Perry jumped on this. This young man deserves justice and the community needs the former cop suspect behind bars!

[@SHARON.I]

There should be more celebrities to get involved with these type things. I believe I watched something about this awhile back. Respect for Tyler Perry✌

[@lateblossom]

I'm angry. I want them to get the answers they deserve.

What's done in the dark Will be brought to the Light🔥

[@raindroph5120]

I had seen a video about these men missing and were never found. It is the same story that this sheriff has stated. I hope that their family get justice for them both. Someone had done an investigation and it never indicated that the sheriff dropped of that young man in front of the convinence store. I hope they get that sheriff for their disappearance.

[@mariacrouch7109]

I'm glad Tyler Perry is shedding light on this issue

[@bethbnolan]

I pray this mother will get answers to the questions tormenting her mind. There will be justice ; God already knows. This is sad and frightening.

[@ginahickman6864]

I'm so happy Tyler Perry is doing this. There are so many missing with no answers. I pray that people come forward if they know something.

[@pitbull7885]

Steve Calkins needs to be charged and thrown in prison! I hope this documentary does push for justice for these 2 young men!

[@chloskyskies4399]

@Belltown Daisy I disagree He may very well have more victims, and we can’t question/interrogate him if he’s dead.

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

We all know the cop killed both of them…

[@sheenapinder717]

[@courtneyaxtman8645]

Is sad that Tyler is one of the FEW beautiful people with a platform who use it for positive, amazing things ❤

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

First time I saw this case was on the ID Channel - Disappeared years ago

[@stocksandslots1556]

This cop was a racist, but the fact that he targeted two young attractive men, makes me think there was a sick sexual motive. He obviously targeted two minorities because there would be a lessened urgency. You people wonder why we are so angry. Thank God large numbers don’t seek vengeance.

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

I’ve been following this case for years, called and emailed the police station 2 years ago. I was told their cases are still listed on the police department website and a lady told me the cop was fired and moved back East

[@karindamckenzie4719]

They just let him go to continue on with his life and possibly hurt others how absurd!!! He should've been given a lie detector test relevant or not. He is still the last person to see these men alive meaning he's a suspect. Is it because he's white he got a pass in both cases.

[@mindbodyfitness99]

I love when celebrities use their millions to help the world ❤️

[@heathermetz3974]

Glad Tyler Perry is shedding light on these two missing persons cases.

Bless Tyler Perry for doing what he’s doing. Bless the men and their families🙏🏻🙏🏻 That cop is creepy…

[@ramblingrose1540]

I watched this recently and my heart goes out to this guy's mother. I can't believe that TWO men were seen in this policeman's car and no action has been taken? He tripped himself up so many times in the interview and was obviously hiding what he knows to be the truth. I don't think these 2 guys were his only victims. I think there were many more. He chose guys who he thought wouldn't draw any attention to them going missing. A black guy, quiet, not many friends and an immigrant, whose family wasn't in a position to draw attention to themselves. I was shocked at the amount of evidence in these cases. Just unbelievably sad. 🤔😔💐

Recent story of a black male is circulating in Mississippi: Rasheem Carter! He was last heard from on 10.02.22. Remains were found on 11.02.22. Ben Crump and Affiliates are involved now. The story is heartbreaking. He was decapitated. Some parts of his body are still missing. He told his mom in a text message that he was being chased by white males. It happened in Taylorsville Mississippi and he’s from Fayetteville Mississippi. He was working in Smith County, the town of Taylorsville.

Yes, I agree. It’s been nearly 20 years, since the two have gone missing. If the cop did it, it certainly would’ve come into the light by now. Since that hasn’t happened, I suppose we all have to agree that the cop is most likely innocent, right? They should stop harassing this ex cop. I feel like he’s suffered enough. He spent the past 20 years defending himself for a crime he didn’t commit. Such a shame 😔

I agree with Tyler Perry. I too am shocked and outraged by the lack of any support or initiative taken by the relevant law enforcement agencies, within the jurisdiction of these 2 missing men. I hope this isn't an example of law enforcers protecting one of their own. Calkins is in my mind, a dangerous person. No doubt he is involved in foul play.

**** Sheriff’s investigators surveyed the evidence and determined that Calkins was not telling the truth about his encounter with Terrance Williams. One investigator made a list of nearly two dozen untruthful or inconsistent statements that Calkins made about the day he met Williams. In August 2004, about seven months after Williams disappeared, then-Sheriff Don Hunter fired Calkins. As he later wrote, “I have lost trust in Calkins and his ability to describe incidents in detail and to recall them
