1 00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:05,520 (Harvey Pratt) Somebody was killing people on the streets of this Oklahoma City metro area. 2 00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:13,540 He had uh, he had just killed a man at the front door and shot the wife in the face as she came running down the hall. 3 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,100 He shot her in the face. 4 00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,480 So I was a patrolman for probably less than a year. 5 00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:25,900 When, uh, they knew that I was an artist, that I painted, you know, I was doing things. 6 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,800 The captain of the police detective division said, "Harvey, do you think you could go talk to her, 7 00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,940 and draw the man that killed her husband and shot her?" 8 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,140 And I said, "Yeah, I think I could do that." 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:46,800 So I did the drawing, and, uh, they had seen a car at the crime scene, and then they saw it in a neighborhood, 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,080 and so they were taking that witness-description drawing through the neighborhood, 11 00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:54,740 and knocking on doors and talking to people. 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,280 And they knocked on the door of a young girl, and she answered the door and they showed her the painting, the drawing, 13 00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:06,520 and she said, "It's my husband. He's the one that you're looking for." 14 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,960 I've always been involved in the culture for long as I can remember. 15 00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,420 Even when I was born, before I was Harvey Pratt, 16 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:25,520 I was "Vehunchkiss" [phonetic spelling], which is Cheyenne and means, "He wants to be a chief." 17 00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:30,940 I sold my first painting in high school at St. Patrick's Indian Mission, sold my very first painting. 18 00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:38,440 And I sold it for $90. $90 n' 61 or '62, that was a lot. It was almost half a month's salary. 19 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,240 The money factor kinda counted a little bit. Kinda made it possible, so you know that I could earn a little bit. 20 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:49,040 So I did stuff in the Marine Corps when I joined. 21 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,360 I did the guidon for our platoon and I made PFC out of boot camp, 22 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,440 and they sent me overseas as a member of the 3rd Marine Division military police. 23 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,020 I've always been very proud of the Marine Corps and what I did in the Marine Corps 24 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,660 and also what I did in law enforcement. 25 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280 I've done over 5,000 witness-description drawings, 26 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,340 I've done about 2,000 soft-tissue reconstructions, 27 00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:20,720 cranial facial reconstructions, age progressions and you know, 28 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,540 just little things like that that I stumbled across, and was doing that nobody else was doing. 29 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,520 Next thing I know, people would call me from all over the United States. 30 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,660 "What is the best case?" And I say, 'They're all best; they are all the best.' 31 00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:40,200 You know, if I do something that catches somebody 32 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,500 that that abuses or rapes children and I catch him, that's the best. 33 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,540 Or if I work on a case and I help catch a serial murder, that's the best. 34 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:56,780 To me, they're all, they all have value, and not only job security, but they give me a lot of job satisfaction.
