It was Father’s Day weekend in the year 2000. Dustin Inman, 16 years old, was in the car with his parents, Billy and Kathy Inman, and their dog. The family was headed to the mountains in north Georgia for some fishing.
Also on the road that day was Gonzalez Gonzalo Harrell, an illegal alien from Mexico who had secured a North Carolina driver’s license using his Mexican birth certificate.
Billy and Kathy Inman were both left unconscious at the scene. When first responders arrived, the Inmans and Gonzalo Harrell were taken to a nearby hospital. While being treated for injuries, Gonzalo Harrell fled the hospital.
Meanwhile, Billy Inman was treated for his injuries caused by the collision while his wife was in a coma for five weeks. Neither was able to attend Dustin’s funeral.
When Kathy Inman regained consciousness, she was told of Dustin’s death. Kathy was left with permanent injuries from the collision — injuries that bound her to a wheelchair.
Following the collision and Gonzalo Harrell’s fleeing, the Inman’s made it their life mission to bring justice for their son. In January 2001, Gonzalo Harrell was indicted by a Gilmer County, Georgia, grand jury which charged him with first-degree vehicular homicide, two counts of serious injury by vehicle, and reckless driving.
In June 2002, a federal Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution warrant was obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In March 2014, the FBI issued a news release seeking the public’s help in finding Gonzalo Harrell.
Billy and Kathy Inman, in 2018, detailed their son’s death and revealed that they had spoken with then-President Trump about their case and their continuing fight to find Gonzalo Harrell, as Breitbart News reported.
“I lost my best friend,” Billy Inman said. “My little buddy. This is something I want nobody else to have to go through.”
“Our son’s been gone 18 years. This man’s been walking the streets for 18 years since what he did to my family,” he continued. “He’s gotten to see his kids grow up and graduate and do something and get married and whatever they do. He gets to hug his kid.”
Then, about a year later, in June 2019, Billy Inman died at the age of 55. A little over two years after Billy’s death, in August 2021, Kathy Inman died at the age of 57. Neither were able to see justice for their son, Dustin.
The Dustin Inman Society, named in Dustin’s honor, continues its grassroots efforts fighting illegal immigration and amnesty proposals in Washington, D.C. The FBI is still offering a cash reward of $2,000 for anyone with information on Gonzalo Harrell.
Those with information are asked to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at (404) 577-TIPS (8477). Full article from Breitbart here.

The below is taken from a longer version of a recorded telephone conversation between Sen.

The entire conversation as posted on facebook is transcribed on the bottom of this page.
Transcripts by Rev.com
Shawn Still:
I never heard the 190,000 that live in your district.
Tori:
Right, and they’re gonna know me by the time I get done. They’re gonna know me by the time I get done, and if I lose, that’s fine. Hey, it’s practice. But as an American veteran, I have a right to run for office in my country.
Shawn Still:
Tori, don’t, don’t ever say that to me again. I am too. I’ve served proudly, and you don’t need to throw that in my face.
Tori:
Well, u- you… And you have a right to serve in any capacity that you want, just like I do.
Shawn Still:
And I never s- and I never, ever, ever said that. All I said was, “I think that you have a realistic path in this. Going down a suicide mission, on a kamikaze run, is not one that has a high chance of success, and if you want to be successful, you may want to aim a little lower than where you’re aiming-
Tori:
So what would make me-
Shawn Still:
… because [inaudible 00:00:55].”
Tori:
… as successful? The fact that people write big checks to him?
Shawn Still:
He controls the caucus leadership pack. And if you don’t know what that means, you need to look that up.
Tori:
I do know what it means.
Shawn Still:
Okay.
Tori:
‘Cause I’ve been researching, trying to run for five years, and I’ve, I’ve learned the issue is I… (laughs) And I’m teachable-
Shawn Still:
[inaudible 00:01:19]-
Tori:
… and I research and I learn-
Shawn Still:
… [inaudible 00:01:20].
Tori:
… and I don’t let leadership tell me what to do. I will make decisions, informed decisions; not based on what-
Shawn Still:
Yeah, and u- this is me-
Tori:
… somebody else said.
Shawn Still:
… giving you an informed decision. This is not me telling you what to do.
Tori:
How would Trump back Larry Walker when he wants the swamp cleaned? He’s a pure politician. Nobody’s seen his face since 2015 was the last time he was a co-host. How would Trump back that?
Shawn Still:
‘Cause he only got elected the year before Trump did.
Tori:
Right. Nobody saw him through two elections: through the first Trump, through the Biden. Nobody has seen his face. They just vote because he’s the only one on the ballot.
I may not have 10 million dollars but I got a social media that gets millions and millions of views, and I will use that-
Shawn Still:
I-
Tori:
… to my advantage. And I-… end of transcript.

Below is the complete conversation posted on Facebook – which is not the entire phone conversation as recording apparently began after the call to from Sen. Shawn Still.
Tori Branum:
My name is Tori Branum, and I am running for Senate in District 20. It’s the district I know very well. I’ve trained thousands of people to shoot their guns. I’m a eight-year Marine Corps veteran. I’ve been studying policy. I’ve been to the border. You can watch a lot of my videos. I am up on what is going on. And I have integrity, I’m honest, and I’m forthright. And today, after I qualified, I get a message on Facebook from Senator Shawn Still telling me to call him, and he was basically telling me that I don’t have enough money to run, I need to aim lower, they’re gonna eat me alive, I’ll never be able to run for politics again. I’m gonna let you hear what he had to tell me. Um, it’s very insulting. Um, and if you wanna donate to my campaign, it’s toriforgeorgia on Venmo, or you can mail me a check. Message me, I’ll give you my address.
Shawn Still:
Let me start with you.
Tori Branum:
Well, I know that my people write checks, but I know the people in the district. I, I know them in all counties, Dodge, Treutlan, Dooly. I’ve trained and been out in the community with all of them. I’m not just sitting, you know, just sit in one place and expect people to guess my name. Like, I have a huge social media, that’s a platform. That’s a new platform and people need to get on board with it. If I can reach millions-
Shawn Still:
It, it’s a platform and-
Tori Branum:
… and millions of people, I have millions and millions of views on my TikTok. I can reach-
Shawn Still:
The only ones that matter are the 190,000 that live in your district.
Tori Branum:
Right, and they’re gonna know me by the time I get done. They’re gonna know me by the time I get done. And if I lose, that’s fine. Hey, it’s practice, but as an American veteran I have a right to run for office in my country.
Shawn Still:
Tori, don’t, don’t ever say that to me again. I am too. I served proudly and you don’t need to throw that in my face.
Tori Branum:
Well, you, and you have a right to serve in any capacity that you want, just like I do.
Shawn Still:
And I never, and I never ever, ever said that. All I said was, I think that you have a realistic path and this going down a suicide mission on a kamikaze run is not one that has a high chance of success. And if you want to be successful you may want to aim a little lower than where you’re aiming.
Tori Branum:
So what would help me as successful? The fact that people write big checks to him?
Shawn Still:
It, he controls the caucus leadership pack. And if you don’t know what that means, you need to look that up.
Tori Branum:
I do know what it means.
Shawn Still:
Okay.
Tori Branum:
I’ve been researching, trying to run for five years and I’ve, I’ve learned the issues. I (laughs), and I’m teachable-
Shawn Still:
And recently you’re from, did you tell me you were from Fayette County?
Tori Branum:
… and I research and I learn and I don’t let leadership tell me what to do. I will make decisions, informed decisions not based-
Shawn Still:
And how about I-
Tori Branum:
On what somebody else tells me.
Shawn Still:
This is me giving you an informed decision. This is not me telling you what to do.
Tori Branum:
How did Trump back Larry Walker when he wants the swamp cleaned? He’s a career politician. Nobody’s seen his face since 2015 was the last time he was opposed. How would Trump back that?
Shawn Still:
‘Cause he only got elected the year before Trump did.
Tori Branum:
Right, and nobody saw him through two elections, through the first Trump, through the Biden. Nobody has seen his face, they just vote because he’s the only one on the ballot. I may not have $10 million dollars, but I got a social media that gets millions and millions of views and I will use that to my advantage. And I will raise the money because let’s see, that’s 100,000 if everybody donates me a dollar. If everybody donates 10, that’s a million. So I can do this grassroots. If not, that’s fine. I’ll go away. I’m not a uh, I mean I won’t go away forever. But I’m, I’m not a sore loser either.
Shawn Still:
Well, I, I just, I think that-
Tori Branum:
Well I mean if he can beat me and all that then what’s the, what’s the use, I mean what’s the, I mean I’m, I mean if he can beat me, then he can beat me fairly and not because I’m gonna be scared of him and back out because people are gonna crucify me. I, I just got my first speeding ticket. Like, I don’t have a criminal record, there’s nothing they’re gonna drag me down and beat me with. And I have a huge female backing, so-
Shawn Still:
You know, I don’t know your district. I, I, but I know that we are in the caucus.
Tori Branum:
I know it very well. And it’s six, six of the counties I worked very closely with all the people teaching shooting lessons. I know all the people, and they know me quite well.
Shawn Still:
Well I, I wish you the best.
Tori Branum:
It’s not just Houston count. I know Juliette, I know Treutlen, I know Dodge, I know Lawrence, I live in Lawrence. I know the people.
Shawn Still:
Well look, I, Tori, all I’m trying to say is that I think you have a future in politics. I don’t think running against one of the top Republicans in the State Senate is, is advisable, but if you want to do it, by all means, you’re right. It’s your right to do it. But when May comes along and we know the outcome of that race, and if it does not go the way that you want it to go, you need to step back and remember this conversation.
Tori Branum:
What’s that gonna do? I’ll still move forward with my life. It might not be, it might not, it won’t be in that position if I lose, but I mean, life goes on.
Shawn Still:
It does, it does.
Tori Branum:
So-
Shawn Still:
I’m trying to spare you that.
Tori Branum:
Well what was the, if he’s gonna beat me that bad, then what does it matter if I step down or not? Who’s gonna beat me is gonna beat me. Why does it matter if I get out of the race? He’s gonna, if he’s gonna beat me then he’s gonna beat me. I mean-
Shawn Still:
Yeah. You’re completely missing the point.
Tori Branum:
So you’re telling me when Georgia goes to play a football game against a team that nobody’s heard of, that everybody’s like well let’s not show up because well, they’re gonna beat them anyway? I mean, that’s not, I’m very intelligent and that is why I am not running for a, I want to learn and I’m teachable and I’m smart and I know the issues and so-
Shawn Still:
Maybe you’d be listening to me if you were. But I wish you all the best. Um, I will be working solidly with Larry, and I will be helping him in every way that I can because that’s what caucus members have to do.
Tori Branum:
Okay. Thank you.
Shawn Still:
I just want to give you that respect from a call.
Tori Branum:
Thank you.
Shawn Still:
Good luck. Goodbye.
