The police note Russell called while they were with Timothy, and listened to the conversation while it was on speaker. Russell accused Timothy of providing false information to Lifetime, and said that if he continued supporting the docu-series, that Kelly and Russell "would be forced to provide information disproving Timothy."

Russell also made it clear information they threatened to leak would "ruin him, his reputation, business, and family because it would show him a liar."

The report was made for "harassing communications" and forwarded to CID for further investigation.

As for Timothy, he and his wife continue to plead with Joycelyn to get in touch with them, but it appears she has not made contact.
