The Civilian Ride-Along: Preston Cox's Cryptic Confession
At 1:02:14 · chapter starts 56:40
One of the most startling revelations is that Bynum was not alone in his truck that night: 21-year-old mechanic Preston Cox was riding along, keen to see if law enforcement was a career he wanted to pursue. On camera at 12:45 AM, you can hear Preston say he's 'highly thinking' about going into law enforcement after the thrill of the chase. At 12:50 AM, just a minute before Bynum shuts the camera off, you can hear Preston ask in a hushed voice: 'You on camera?' And then he mouths something to Bynum that the host has watched at every speed and cannot decipher. Shortly after the incident, Preston moved out of the area and decided not to pursue law enforcement. When PI Cody Turner tracked him down, Preston said, 'I hate that it ended that way. I really do. But I couldn't have done anything in my power to change what happened without getting Mr. Bynum in trouble.' He then said, 'I'm a ride-along,' and declined to say more.
Civilian ride-along Preston Cox told PI Cody Turner he 'hated that it ended that way' but couldn't have done anything 'without getting Mr. Bynum in trouble.' He then moved out of the area and abandoned his law enforcement career — saying only that 'it's not worth it.'
