Bates Investigates, Season One, "In Defense of Daniel Holtzclaw." Episode 23: Kala Lyles Allegations Scrutinized.
Investigative Timeline - Sept. 16, 2014: In this episode I take a closer look at the allegations of 29 year Kala Lyles against Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw.
Lyles claims that she encountered officer Holtzclaw while walking in NE Oklahoma City. Lyles claims that Holtzclaw drove her to the same abandoned school or park, that Holtzclaw previously took accuser Ellis. Like Ellis, Lyles claims that she too was raped by Holtzclaw.

But, Lyles' story keeps changing: from what she is wearing, to whether or not she was touched to even the order of events or how many times they happened. She even claims she was stalked by Holtzclaw AFTER he was placed on administrative leave.

Investigative Timeline - August 22, 2014: In this episode, Oklahoma City patrol officer Daniel Holtzclaw has been arrested and is being held on a $5-million cash bond. At the same time his arrest is breaking news around the country. With the news comes a flood of accusers, many of which not even the prosecutors are willing to believe. This episode takes a closer look at a couple of those accusers: Shaneice Barksdale, Shakara Walker and Terry Roy Dunn Sr. 
Barksdale was the only admitted false accuser, out of at least 8, that was ever charged with a crime. She was later convicted of making a false police report. Dunn was the only male to admittedly make a false report against officer Holtzclaw.
You will also hear from Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty, in news reports regarding officer Holtzclaw's arrest.

11 | Daniel Holtzclaw: Tabitha Barnes Allegations

Investigative Timeline - August 13, 2014: This episode starts with Oklahoma Sex Crimes Detective Rocky Gregory contacting "Shannon", a 23-year old bikini fitness model whom patrol officer Daniel Holtzclaw had run through the police department's databases on a couple of occasions. 
Det. Kim Davis identifies 53-year-old Florene Mathis as a potential 'victim' of Daniel Holtzclaw. After learning Mathis is currently in the Oklahoma County Jail on a assault with a deadly weapon complaint, she and detective Homan decide to pay her a visit. Their interview is audio and video recorded. 
Mathis alleges that she has been stopped by Holtzclaw on three occasions and that she was groped on the last. 
Det. Davis' interview with Mathis uncovers many discrepancies in her story - yet she ignores all of them and is convinced Mathis is victim number four in her investigation. And, she knows there is at least one more victim, because she has yet to find out whom the DNA found on officer Holtzclaw's uniform pants belongs to.

10 | Daniel Holtzclaw: Florene Mathis Allegations

Investigative Timeline - August 5, 2014: This episode reflects back on Episode 8 and the telephone and in-person interviews conducted by Oklahoma City Sex Crimes Detective Kim Davis with Daniel Holtzclaw accuser Sherry Ellis.
Ellis alleges she was stopped by Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, in the early morning hours of May 7, 2014, near NE 17th and N. Highland Dr. and forced to perform oral sex. She says she was then transported a couple of blocks away and vaginally raped in a public park, before being told to "have a nice night" as the officer drove away.
But, there's some significant problems with Ellis' allegations. For one, she describes her attacker as a "short, black, male police officer." Daniel Holtzclaw is 6' 2" tall and pale white in complexion. Ellis also claims the officer who attacker her was driving a different model of patrol car than Holtzclaw was actually driving.
Then there's his patrol car GPS. While it places him in the area, host Brian Bates explains why it would be impossible for Holtzclaw's patrol car to be where prosecutors insist the rape took place.
