THE DECOY: Watch the I-film here

This week we have been giving special attention to the soundbites we feature on Idaho Sports Talk. It is just coincidence that I am releasing my latest I-movie at the same time. I enjoy editing video and my latest project "The Decoy" just kind of fell into my lap. For many years we have been playing a soundbite from a channel 2 newcast. The reporter, Jeff Ray, says "someone sent out what appeared to be a decoy…a man with a paper in front of his face."

The story from 2005 was about lottery winner Brad Duke. He was trying to keep his identity concealed until after an exclusive interview on the Today Show. KBCI Channel 2 tracked him down at the offices of Givens-Pursley Law firm.  In order to get out of the building without being recognized Duke and his PR firm used a decoy to divert the attention of KBCI reporters.  That is where the story of the soundbite ended  until a few weeks ago.

I had played the Jeff Ray audio on the air. Later that night through twitter someone asked me the story behind it. I explained where it came from and that is when I learned the identity of "The Decoy." He said he was "the man with a paper in front of his face." His name is Glen Scott, an employee of Givens-Pursley in 2005.

I decided his story must be told! Many peeople know the story of Brad Duke's lottery win, but until now the story of "The Decoy" has never been told! I contacted Glen, former KBCI reporter Jeff Ray and Edward Moore who was, and still is Brad Duke's publicist. They all had a part in what happened that day.  All of them agreed to cooperate in telling their stories for my I-film.  I am proud of the way it turned out.
