A major development in the Texas Killing Fields investigation is unfolding after search warrants were served at a Bacliff property linked to James Elmore Jr.
Take a look at the scene as the search unfolded on the property.
Search Warrant Details
Court documents show investigators searched the Bacliff property for human remains, burial sites, and items tied to missing persons in the long-running case in Texas.
The warrant also lists tools or materials that could help conceal or move remains. Investigators looked for any evidence of tampering or disturbed burial areas.
Crews worked the property for hours while heavy equipment assisted in the search.
For decades, the Texas Killing Fields have stood as one of the country’s most haunting crime scenes. Along Calder Road, multiple young women were murdered—leaving families still searching for answers.
Now, the case is taking a new turn.
Investigators say more arrests could be coming. They also warn additional victims may be connected.
For the first time, a man is speaking out. He says he survived a disturbing encounter as a child—one that closely mirrors what investigators believe happened to a known victim.

I’m reporter Tammy Rose, and I’m breaking down the latest developments in the Texas Killing Fields investigation.
Years ago, I had the chance to sit down with legendary helicopter reporter Jerry Foster.
Over the years, Foster became known for his fearless reporting style and his love of aviation.
In fact, long before drones and modern traffic systems, helicopter reporters like Foster were pioneers in the sky.
This rare interview captures his personality, humor, and reflections on a career that helped define an era of broadcast aviation journalism.
This interview is especially meaningful today because Jerry Foster has since passed away, making these recorded conversations even more valuable. They preserve the voice and perspective of someone who truly lived life on his own terms.
In addition to his broadcasting career, Foster also wrote about his life in the book Earthbound Misfit.
In the memoir, he shares stories from his aviation adventures and his unconventional career path.
As a result, readers get a rare look into the world of early helicopter journalism.
Life as a Helicopter Reporter
Helicopter reporter Jerry Foster shares a cockpit moment with Santa during a memorable holiday flight.
Being a helicopter reporter is not just about talking on camera. Instead, it requires strong situational awareness, and aviation discipline.
For example, pilots must constantly monitor weather, airspace, and traffic conditions while reporting live.
Jerry Foster was part of a generation that helped pioneer the role.
Today’s helicopter reporters still rely on many of the same fundamentals Foster practiced — professionalism, aviation discipline, and respect for safety.
Essential Pilot Safety Gear
Anyone involved in aviation understands the importance of proper gear and safety equipment. Whether you’re a professional pilot, helicopter reporter, or aviation enthusiast, the right equipment matters.
Meanwhile, aviation reporting continues to evolve with new technology and aerial tools.
Remembering an Aviation Original
Capturing the world from above-a pilot’s eye view through the lens of a handheld camera in the cockpit.
Jerry Foster’s career represents a time when aviation reporting required equal parts courage, skill, and personality.
Helicopter reporters like Foster didn’t just deliver traffic updates — they became trusted voices for the cities they served. They helped viewers understand what was happening from a perspective only the sky could provide.
This rare interview offers a glimpse into that world and preserves the voice of someone who truly lived an unconventional life.
If you enjoy aviation stories, behind-the-scenes broadcast history, and real pilot experiences, Jerry Foster’s story — and his book Earthbound Misfit — are well worth exploring.
If you’re visiting Cozumel, one of the best excursions you can take is a 3-stop snorkeling tour with Chac Choc Tours. At about $90 per person, this tour included reefs, starfish, food, drinks, and a stop inside the famous Parque Nacional Arrecifes de Cozumel.
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip.
📍 Meeting at Adventure Planet
The tour begins at Adventure Planet, where you check in and board the double-decker snorkel/dive boat. The crew was friendly and professional, and the boat had plenty of shade.
Flames burn through rugged terrain during the Yarnell Hill Fire near Yarnell, Arizona in 2013.
I flew in Arizona for more than 12 years and attended Northern Arizona University, so news of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) helicopter crash in Flagstaff hits especially close to home.
Northern Arizona airspace is familiar, challenging, and unforgiving at night — a place many of us in aviation know well.
According to DPS, the helicopter was assisting law enforcement during an active incident in Flagstaff when it went down late on February 4th, 2026.
Both crew members on board were killed. DPS confirmed the loss during a press conference and stated the helicopter was providing aerial support at the time.
The Bell 407, N56AZ, crashed west of the active shooter scene after entering a rapid climb with groundspeeds dropping to 4 knots.
Witnesses captured video of the helicopter in an apparent out-of-control spin. Weather at Flagstaff was clear with light winds, indicating conditions were likely not a factor.
Video shows aerial views of the crash aftermath and is from ABC15 Arizona — gives a sense of what happened on scene.
This remains an active investigation, and authorities have not released details on what caused the helicopter to go down. As someone who has flown these skies, I know how much experience, training, and professionalism these crews bring to every mission.
Flagstaff isn’t just a dot on a map — it’s a tight-knit aviation and mountain community. My thoughts are with the families, coworkers, and first responders affected by this tragic loss.
In 2019, Klaas and Dorothy Tadema, a retired math teacher and former nurse in Dickinson, Texas, faced a $100,000 HOA lien over their flower beds. I reported on their case, which quickly gained national attention and ultimately forced the HOA to drop the lien.
Since then, we learned that Dorothy “Dotty” Tadema, the homeowner at the heart of this story, passed away on June 13, 2021, at age 77. She is remembered by her family and community for her faith, kindness, and service. Her obituary can be viewed here: Crowder Funeral Home obituary.
This update honors her memory and adds new context to a story that resonated with readers nationwide.
Elderly Couple HOA Lien Over Flower Beds Sparks National Outrage
Following widespread media coverage and public pressure, the HOA released the lien, allowing the couple to sell their home and move forward with their lives. But months later, tragedy struck when Dorothy passed away after ongoing health complications.

National Attention Forces the HOA to Back Down
Update: Despite dozens of landscapers offering to help elderly couple following a $100,000 lawsuit filed by Land Tejas over flower beds, the property developer refuses to back down.
After weathering many storms over their 52 years of marriage including losing a home during Hurricane Harvey, Klaas & Dorothy Tadema never imagined flower beds could force them to potentially lose everything again including their health. Click on link below to view full story.
This story is long overdue. I am speaking publicly because I was a key witness in the Juan Martinez disciplinary hearing. My decision to come forward helped expose misconduct that ultimately ended his career as a prosecutor.
How I Discovered the Misconduct
Journalist Tammy Rose
Covering the Jodi Arias Sentencing Retrial
I was covering the Jodi Arias case when I noticed troubling behavior by then‑prosecutor Juan Martinez. It crossed ethical lines.
One of the most disturbing revelations was the leak of Juror 17’s identity to the public. The information did not come from the court; it came from within the prosecution itself, passed via a media intermediary.
When a juror’s identity becomes public, it puts them at serious risk. In this case, that juror later received threats to their safety.
That moment marked a turning point for me. What began as reporting became a matter of public responsibility. I realized I needed to document and report what I had uncovered.
I provided investigators with records and testimony about how the leak happened, knowing it could affect my career and reputation. Still, I chose to act ethically and tell the truth.
The investigation confirmed that protected information had been improperly shared and that this conduct was part of a broader pattern of ethical violations.
My Role in the Disciplinary Hearing
I gave testimony and submitted evidence detailing the leaks and unethical conduct. My goal was never to attack individuals unnecessarily, but to ensure accountability and integrity in the justice system.
I acted independently and ethically, aware that speaking out could impact my professional life. But truth and public safety were my priority.

What Happened After the Investigation
After reviewing the evidence, the investigation confirmed a pattern of ethical violations, including:
• Improper communications with media members
• Leaks of protected juror information
• Conduct prejudicial to justice
As a result, Juan Martinez was terminated and later disbarred. His ability to practice law was permanently revoked.
Why This Story Still Matters
Prosecutors hold immense power. When that power is abused, the entire justice system is at risk. I came forward because journalists are not above the law — and neither are prosecutors.
This story reminds us that accountability matters.
