>> FROM THE LOCAL STATION NEWSFOURJAX. >> RIGHT NOW, IT’S 6 O’CLOCK
AT NIGHT. EXCLUSIVE A COLD
CASE CLOSE WITH 2 ARRESTS HERE
IN JACKSONVILLE IN THE
MYSTERIOUS DEATH MORE THAN A
DECADE AGO OF THIS LITTLE GIRL
IN CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS WEEK,
JACKSONVILLE POLICE ARRESTED
LAMAR AND RUTH VICKERS STAFF.
>> ACCORDING TO AN ALABAMA
ARREST WARRANT, THEY ARE THE
LITTLE GIRL’S FATHER AND
STEPMOTHER. BOTH ARE IN THE
DUVAL COUNTY JAIL CHARGED WITH
FAILURE TO REPORT A MISSING
CHILD. HOWEVER, LAMAR
BICKERSTAFF IS ALSO FACING A
FELONY MURDER CHARGE FOR THE
GIRL’S DEATH.
>> NEWS 4 JAX. I TEAM
INVESTIGATOR VIC MICOLUCCI
WITNESS TO TAKE DOWN AS
OFFICERS BROUGHT THE 2
FUGITIVES INTO CUSTODY. A COLD
CASE THAT HAUNTED DETECTIVES
FOR YEARS NOW CRACKED THE BIG
BREAK WITH THE CAPTURE OF 2
FUGITIVES HERE IN
JACKSONVILLE. THE NEWS, 4 JAX.
IT WAS THERE FOR THE TAKE DOWN
AS A SPECIALIZED. THE
JACKSONVILLE SHERIFF’S OFFICE
TASK FORCE ARRESTED RUTH VIGOR
STAFF IN A TRAFFIC STOP NEAR
HER NORTH SIDE HOME. AFTER
LEARNING SHE WAS IN CUSTODY.
HER HUSBAND, LAMAR BICKERSTAFF
ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND
TURNED HIMSELF IN. LAMAR WAS A
CHIEF ENGINE MEN IN THE NAVY
BASE TO MOST RECENTLY IN
MAYPORT. THE CONCERN IS WHY
FLIGHT AT THIS POINT.
>> HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DONE. WE
DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING. IS HE
GOING? GO AHEAD. TAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY AND JUST START ON
THE RUN. JSO IS COMMUNITY
PROBLEM. RESPONSE UNIT OR CPR
HAD BEEN WATCHING THE COUPLE
AFTER GETTING A WARRANT FROM
OPA ALABAMA POLICE. IT WAS IN
REGARD TO A MYSTERIOUS AND
HEARTBREAKING CASE OF A YOUNG
GIRL’S SKELETAL REMAINS.
>> FOUND IN THE WOODS BEHIND A
MOBILE HOME PARK THERE AT THE
END OF OUR LIVES. YET THE
TRAGIC LOSS A LOT OF THESE SHE
WAS IS JUST IT’S A TEAR OR
DAYS OR LEAGUES HORRIBLE. WE
SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL POLICE
CHIEF AND ONE OF THE
DETECTIVES ABOUT THE 11 YEAR
MURDER MYSTERY. THEY TELL US
MODERN DNA TRACING AND A
GENEALOGIST LINKED TO PULL
LIKE A JANE DOE WITH LAMAR
VICKERS. STAFF CONFIRMING HE
WAS THE FATHER. THEY ALSO
TRACKED DOWN HER MOTHER IN
MARYLAND WHO SHOWED COURT
DOCUMENTS WHERE VICAR STAFF
AND HIS WIFE GOT FULL CUSTODY
OF THE CHILD IN 2009. THE
LITTLE GIRL’S REAL NAME OR
WIGGINS. THE CORONER BELIEVES
SHE DIED IN 2010 OR 2011 OF
REPEATED BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA.
THE BIG QUESTION HERE IS. HOW
COULD SHE HAVE A BIOLOGICAL
MOTHER?
>> THAT IS PAYING CHILD
SUPPORT FOR MORE THAN 10
YEARS. THERE’S NO CONTACT. SHE
DOESN’T ASK TO SEE ANY
PICTURES OF THE CHILD RIGHT
NOW. SHE HAD REACHED OUT
TRYING TO GET WITH THE COURT
TO GET CUSTODY OR PARTIAL
CUSTODY OR SUPERVISE CUSTODY
OF THE CHILD.
>> AND NOT ALLOW, YOU KNOW,
AND I MEAN, YOU LIVE IN AND
MAYBE KYLE, I MEAN, HE WAS
OVER SAY’S. A LOT IS ON SHIP
ALLY. HE WAS, YOU KNOW,
STATION A WIFE OR SHORT TIME.
INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY NEVER
GAVE UP BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS
WANTED JUSTICE FOR THE LITTLE
GIRL AND HER CONCERNED
COMMUNITY. FINALLY, THE ARTIST
RENDERINGS HAVE A REAL PICTURE
TO GO WITH THEM. JANE DOE HAS
A REAL MAY. EMOTIONS ARE
RUNNING HIGH. TOBE HONEST,
USE IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH TO GET
THROUGH THAT. IT’S BEEN 11
YEARS AND WE DIDN’T HAVE A
NAME. AND YOU KNOW, THAT KIND
OF SENT HOME WITH THE AND WE
WE EXCEPT DURING OUR FAMILY
BLOCK A DAY.
>> JUST, YOU KNOW, SHOES, BAR
FAME. WE THOUGHT ABOUT WRITE
ABOUT HER AS WE WORKED THIS
CASE AND LUCKILY WE WERE TOO
WELL. BIDEN WHO SHE WAS AND
NOW MAKE THE REST. AND WHILE
THEY’RE CONFIDENT THEY HAVE
THEIR SUSPECTS, POLICE ARE
JUST BEGINNING TO BUILD THE
CASE AGAINST THEM AND FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM OR ASKING
THE PUBLIC TO COME FORWARD
WITH TIPS. NO PIECE OF
INFORMATION.
>> IS TOO SMALL AND MAKE A
LUGE EACH CHANNEL 4, THE LOCAL
STATION.
>> THANK YOU, VIC. ANYONE WITH
INFORMATION IS ASKED TO PULL
LIKE A POLICE. THAT NUMBER IS
ON YOUR SCREEN. WE’VE ALSO
