Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast172. SPECIAL: Smells Like An Incognito InterviewAs a between-season special, we thought we’d pass along this delightful interview with Melissa from last week when she visited the YouTube Live channel for The Incognito Society and its host, Elizabeth. In the interview, Melissa shares a lot about herself, her podcast, the relationship between podcasts and law enforcement, as well as a number of cases, including the vexing Delphi Murders out of Indiana, where Elizabeth and her channel are based, and upon which The Incognito Society and its followers focus much of their time searching for clues. We want to thank Elizabeth for allowing us to share...

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast171. Smells Like 18 Years Is Too Long To Wait - The Wideman Family MurdersMelissa wraps up Season 3 of the podcast with the tale of an horrific “family annihilator” mass murder from 2002 and the mysterious 18 year delay it took to bring a suspect to justice...mysterious because, right from the very beginning, all signs pointed – with big bright shiny, glowing arrows – to Jason Michael Walker, who was finally arrested on December 2, 2020 after nearly two decades following the murders in question. And those murders were as grotesque and incomprehensible as they come. On March 22, 2002, at approximately 3 a.m. local time, authorities were called to a burning house in the tiny town of Rebecca, Georgia. Inside the ru...

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast165. Smells Like An Exorcism Of Logic - Paul Bateson, Addison Verrill And The Six UnknownsYou wanna hear a really creepy ghost story? Well…actually…a really creepy satanic possession story…or something? Try this on for size: Guy gets really good at his job.

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast147. Smells Like A Gruesome Puzzle - The Stephenson Murders - With Special Guest Detective Coy CoxJust across the Ohio River and a few miles south of downtown Cincinnati lies the quiet suburban community of Florence, Kentucky. It was there, in an average condominium on a quiet residential street in the community of Oakbrook, on Memorial Day weekend, when Bill and Peggy Stephenson were brutally murdered in the early morning hours of May 29, 2011. And they were murdered for reasons - and by people - no one has yet been able to determine. Unsolved murders are, unfortunately, not a rarity - but it isn't often that an unsolved case is simultaneously so disturbing and so puzzling as...

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast109. Sounds Like A Tough Way To Break Out Of Jail - The Multiple Lives Of Benjamin SchreiberWhen you kill someone and you're sentenced to prison "for the rest of your natural life," without the possibility of parole, you're done. Finished. Kaput. No more freedom for you, ever. Right? Right. Except. What does the "your natural life" mean, exactly? Especially when we live in an age where technology can actually revive someone who has literally died for a few seconds? And how does that phrase apply in the ostensibly cold, harsh light of legal interpretation? Enter one Benjamin Schreiber, a nasty fellow who was convicted of a brutal murder and was sentenced to spend the rest of his lif...

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast107. Sounds Like Anybody Coulda Dunnit - The Dumler-Wilson Murders - With Special Guest Detective Kellyanne BestOctober 1969. Nighttime in a quiet, leafy upscale suburban neighborhood in one of Cincinnati's toniest conclaves. A young couple with two young children, and the wife's mother, all presumably asleep inside. Except when the kids wake up the next morning and go to the neighbors to say they can't rouse mom and dad, what the neighbors find is simply horrific: The stabbed and shot bodies of Martin Dumler, age 29, his wife Patricia, age 27 and Patricia's 50 year-old mother, Mary Wilson. Looks like the young couple may have been tortured - but impossible to be sure. Looks like Mary just happened to be in...
