Missing bodycam footage in disputed will case

A high-profile legal battle over a disputed estate has ignited a transparency crisis within the Decatur Police Department. New investigative findings reveal that city police conducted a welfare check on the dying brother of Decatur Municipal Court Chief Judge Rhathelia Stroud on the exact same day a contested will was allegedly signed giving her total control over his estate. However, the department claims all body-worn camera footage of the encounter has vanished, prompting local accountability groups to call for a formal criminal investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
