Standard Examiner Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2005 Ogden suicide victim named OREM -- Police have identified the Ogden man who killed himself after leading authorities on a chase over the weekend in Orem. Police were attempting to arrest Frank Leon Garcia, 56, for trying to entice a 13-year-old girl over the Internet for sex. The "girl" was an undercover cop working for the Utah County Sex Crimes Task Force. Police spotted Garcia en route to a prearranged meeting place in Orem Saturday afternoon and tried to box the man in. After a short chase, they were finally able to stop him. As officers approached the car with guns drawn, they heard a shot come from the inside and saw Garcia slump over. He was taken to nearby Timpanogos Hospital, where he was pronounced dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Garcia pleaded guilty to a forcible sexual abuse in December 2003 that stemmed from a rape case out of BYU.

S. Ogden man arrested in fake FBI scam Wed, Feb 2, 2005 By MARK GRAY Standard-Examiner staff mgray(a)standard.net SOUTH OGDEN -- A local gas station employee pretending to be working undercover for the FBI is awaiting charges after police said he tried to coax at least two teenage male customers to engage in various homosexual sex acts for a "federal investigation." Justin Wayne Crosbie, who was paroled in December 2003 after being convicted twice on various illegal sex acts, promised the victims that the nonexistent FBI task force he worked for would give them cash, a car and a clean criminal record. The males' assistance was requested to curb the activities of a prominent child molester, the 30-year-old told them. "He told them the FBI task force was trying to set up a sting operation to catch the guy and they needed the males to engage in activity with the man," South Ogden Police Lt. Darin Parke said. "There was no guy. The only person involved was Mr. Crosbie. This was a ploy to get the victims alone with him. He targeted teenage boys because that's the age group he's attracted to." Police know of two teenage victims and one adult male victim. Since Crosbie worked in a field that sees many people come and go, police believe there are more victims. The suspect worked at Chevron stations at 42nd Street and Harrison Boulevard and 1855 Skyline Drive. "He said he fished out males that he was attracted to that came into the stores," Parke said. "He would get in a position where he could talk to them in a semi-private setting, and that's when he approached them with the supposed investigation." Parke said Crosbie would first ask if the male teenagers were interested in making extra money by posing nude in various homosexual positions. When they declined, he would then claim to be an undercover FBI agent looking for someone to assist in the investigation. One of the victims momentarily agreed to assist the faux FBI investigation but later rescinded after he arrived at the phony sting location. After getting the original tip through one of the victims, South Ogden police monitored Crosbie's every move via surveillance. He was arrested Jan. 21 on a parole violation and has been held in the Weber County Jail as the county attorney reviewed felony criminal solicitation charges. On Monday, the county attorney agreed to file one charge, but others could and will likely follow. "He was basically going to keep going until he was arrested again," Parke said. In 1998, Crosbie was convicted on four counts of forcible sex abuse. All his victims were minors. In 1994, he was convicted of sexual abuse of a child. If you think you are a victim, contact South Ogden Police Detective Todd Hardman at 622-8565.
