The following is the opinion of the site author, and not necessarily that of Sarah Teague or the Teague family.
The more I research the Heather Teague disappearance, the more the line blurs between the good guys and the bad. Did FBI agents James Hendricks and Jerry L. Garner premeditate giving a false narrative to a grieving mother of a young missing woman? If so, these falsehoods must be exposed and examined for motive.
On February 18th 2009, FBI agents Jerry Garner and James Hendricks made a special visit to Sarah Teague’s home in Madisonville, Kentucky. James Hendricks was employed by the Henderson police as a beat officer at the time Heather Teague went missing. The purpose of Hendricks’ and Garner’s visit to the Teague home was twofold: to persuade Sarah that rumors she had heard of a relationship between her daughter and James Hendricks were false, and to persuade Sarah to accept there was no connection between her daughter’s disappearance and government corruption.
Let’s examine some of the statements James Hendricks and Jerry Garner made to Sarah Teague that day:
I don’t have to point out how unlikely it is a police officer drove away from a young woman, leaving her alone in her car underneath a boat ramp at 2 or 3 in the morning, especially after lecturing her about the dangers of being out there alone.
Did James Hendricks and Jerry Garner really believe Sarah Teague would never find out just how suspect their statements would be? It took time, but Sarah Teague believes in Biblical reckoning: “…for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known.” That reckoning is one day closer: examine these recent statements made to Sarah Teague by someone who knew her daughter personally:
Remember what James Hendricks said when questioned by Sarah Teague if he knew Heather before: “No. It just stood out to me, you know, a young girl, in a car, and the name just stood out to me. And then about three weeks later is when it hit me: I realized that was the Heather I had encountered.”
Remember what James Hendricks said when Sarah Teague stated there were indications Heather was working with the police: “I had no knowledge of that.”
Remember what Jerry Garner said about government corruption: “I want you to know as I sit here today I am not aware of any kind of conspiracy or corruption on the part of a government official or person carrying a badge.”
Back in October of 2018 I posted an entry entitled “The Man at the Birthday Party.” Here is an excerpt:
What a strong coincidence the statements made by Heather’s acquaintance in 2018 dovetail with this FBI report from 2005: a bald, stocky, older male tried to get Heather’s friends to sell drugs for him. I’m not saying the man at the birthday party is indeed former Henderson police officer and current FBI special agent in charge James Hendricks. I’m saying the FBI, KSP and Henderson police are stupid or corrupt if they don’t look into the possibility.
It’s my opinion not only did the Federal Bureau of Investigations not investigate that which they should have investigated, I believe they actively practiced to deceive Sarah Teague about the facts of the case. I believe James Hendricks, current special agent in charge of New York’s Albany field office, especially has some explaining to do.

Comment removed at the request of the commenter.
Ask the FBI what James Hendricks’ status is. And check the DOJ OIG reports for information about a recent FBI SAC investigation.

Check the FBI Albany website. Hendricks is gone as SAC. Check the article with the link above – DOJ OIG found an unnamed FBI SAC sexually harassed 8 women in the FBI.

“Ran her I.D….we had no warrants on her.”
Anytime someone’s I.D. is ran, there is suppose to be a record of that, especially when they are checking the local and federal database for warrants.
So, are you saying the “Man at the birthday party” is Hendricks??
You show a picture of what he looks like today and assume that he was a ” middle age bald male” in 1995. If he is 50 now, that means he was 25 in 1995. He weighed about 175 lbs and had a full head of hair then. I remember him.
Pay attention to the facts.
Where is all the information about the prime suspect in the case that killed himself as the state police was preparing to serve a warrant at his house. His name was Marty Dill.
I worked at HPD during this time. Hendricks was a patrol officer with about 3 years on the force. NO patrol officer was “buying dope” through informants. If any undercover buys were going down then it would have fell under Lt or Maj Don Farris.
Look him up. He had an affair with the assistant prosecutor and ended up marrying her. The police chief was Ed Brady. He was retired a retired Kentuck State Police Trooper. Who was the lead agency on the Heather Teague abduction? The Kentucky State Police. Ed Brady is now the Sheriff of Henderson County, KY. The other agency that would have had jurisdiction over the case.
The “boat ramp” is basically a parking lot adjacent to several baseball fields and homes. The city put in a concrete boat ramp adjacent to the ball park.
She was an adult and was not breaking any laws. There was nothing a police officer could do except run a local check. It was documented in dispatch. Interactions similar to this happen in cities all the time.
Thank you for writing in with additional information. You’re correct that something should have been documented in dispatch, no matter when this “meeting” occurred. Hendricks stated to Sarah, “There was nothing to report.” It would be very helpful if HPD could provide some documentation concerning this issue. Regarding Marty Dill: there is already extensive information about his alleged role in this case at multiple sources across the internet. This is what you rarely hear about Marty Dill: that was his father Marvin “Sonny” Dill’s Bronco at the scene that day. The Bronco did not belong to Marty, yet it has always been reported that way. You are absolutely correct Marty Dill plays some kind of a role in this case. Any documentation you could acquire or provide to help definitively put some of these issues to bed would be very much appreciated.
During the time of Heather’s disappearance, Hendricks was in his 20’s, head full of black hair, thin build. Does not fit the description.
Thank you, “s”, for bringing to light what I too, thought fair to be addressed; The fact that James was 25 years old-not quite “middle-aged”-when this happened and that he did, indeed, at that time, have a head full of hair and was certainly not yet the “stocky” man you see in the above referenced photographs. I knew James well during this time (not professionally, but personally) and could confidently vouch for at least, where ALL of his off-duty time was spent. (Guaranteeing he would not have been given any opportunities to attend parties or participate in coordinating abductions for sex-trafficking.) James was married with a baby. He left for work 20 minutes prior to his assigned shift and he was never more than 20 minutes from his shift’s end to return home or to pick up his daughter from her grandmother’s house. James was quite the introvert. He preferred to be home. He rejected doing much of anything “social”. He did not “go out with the boys”. He did not “go out” at all. He did not drink. He did not smoke; Therefore he did not even have an excuse to make impromptu “runs” to leave his house to “go to the liquor store” or to “get cigarettes”. He had no hobbies. Even when coworkers would offer a day away from home to fish or hunt or do whatever men do, James always declined. Always. He was known for (and often ridiculed for) his lack of participation in any activity that took place outside of his home. If James was not at work, you absolutely knew where he would be.
I am terribly sorry for Heather’s mother. I cannot begin to imagine her pain. But James Hendricks, even with his fair share of flaws, did NOT play the slightest role in Heather’s disappearance.
I’d bet my life on it.
Let me just say I had numerous interactions with Mr. Hendrix and they weren’t all because I wanted to. We were involved in a relationship during his time as a patrol officer. I didn’t know he was married and when I found out and tried to break it off I was threatened with he would make sure I paid a price for breaking it off. Over the years I have heard that he had these same relationships with other girls. When I heard about the sexual harrassment charges I wasn’t surprised. Whoever wrote that he was always home etc that is a load of crap. He may have been home but when he was on duty he was always meeting women. We often met at hays boat ramp and on Larue rd. So please stop making James out to be a great guy. He was a predator who used his badge to get what he wanted.
