Second and third sheriffs

According to this PBS video the second sheriff was a man named "Burt Myers" (according to spellings in closed captions of video) Burt Myers "ran unopposed" and "he was elected" according to video. But he quit after a few days before Kelley took over again and the third sheriff, whom Kelley trained, was somebody called "Aaron Masters" (according to spellings in closed captions of video).
