Moments when man whose throat was
slashed and his son killed dug himself out of
a grave
Disturbing footage has been released showing the father a
murdered boy moments after he dug himself out of a shallow
grave with his throat slashed.
Forrest “Butch” Bowyer was stabbed in the neck and his 12-
year-old son Brett shot dead by robbers in Alabama in February
2002.
The victims were buried in shallow graves - but Bowyer somehow
managed to claw his way out.
Bleeding heavily with his throat cut "from ear to ear", he crawled
to Highway 431 in Seale, Russell County, for help.
Only now, 14 years after the gruesome crime, have Russell
County Sheriff’s Department released the horrific dashboard
camera footage from that night on February 18.
The officer on camera can be heard saying: "I got a man that’s
been cut to hell and said his son’s been shot 3 times.
"[The son] is buried in a grave down here at Uchee, and he
wants to go get him.
"He was buried and dug himself out, this is a bad one."
In the video, obtained by WVTM-TV News Leader 9 , the officer
asks Bowyer who attacked them, to which he responds multiple
times, "Jim Brooks".
Bowyer can be heard telling the patrol officer that the killers
would likely be back at his home "trying to get some more
money".
Brooks and accomplice Michael Carruth were later arrested
found guilty at trial.
Both are now on death row, WVTM-TV reported.
Russell County sheriff Heath Taylor told the news channel: "It’s
crazy to think about he [Bowyer] survived that night.
"Not one single time do I pass this area, where this occurred, that
I don’t think about that case."
