True crime

1969 - Calais, Vermont.
On the afternoon of September, 12, 1969, a Vermont State Trooper approached a seemingly abandoned camper on a property in rural Calais, Vermont. 
The scene inside the camper was that of incredible violence: the decomposing bodies of James and Iola Hipp were sprawled on the floor having been interrupted by an intruder during their lunch. 
James and Iola were retirees from Lutz, Florida on a month-long road trip of the Eastern US and Canada, just passing through the Vermont country with their dogs in tow. They had no enemies in the area, let alone friends. Who would want to hurt this sweet couple?
If you have any information on the murders of James and Iola Hipp, please contact the Vermont State Police Major Crimes Unit at (802)-244-8781 or anonymously text the keyword VTIPS to 274637 (CRIMES).

The Unsolved Murders of James and Iola Hipp

1981 - Norton, Massachusetts.

In October 1981, 38-year-old Andrew Peter Dabbs, shot his girlfriend, Robin Shea, while driving through Norton, MA, leaving her to die on the side of the road. Robin was just 21. 
At first, police merely wanted to talk to Peter. But when he skipped town, they had no choice but to issue a warrant for his arrest for murder. 
After an encounter that almost got him caught, investigators counted the days until Peter slipped up again. 40 years later, both police and the Shea family are still hoping that day will come.
If you have any information on Andrew Peter Dabbs, please contact the Boston Field Office of the FBI at (857) 386-2000 or leave a tip at tips.fbi.gov.

Andrew Peter Dabbs: Justice for Robin Shea

2004 - Northport, Maine. 
Something about 28-year-old Jeremy Alex was different. He wasn’t his usual free-spirited self—lately, he’d been acting more and more paranoid that bad guys were coming after him. 
Then, on the cool evening of April 24, 2004, Jeremy suddenly ran into his former teacher’s backyard in a panic, wad of cash in hand. Despite trying to calm him, Jeremy ran off into the thick Maine forest, never to be seen again.
The truth of what happened that night is just as bizarre and murky as it was in 2004. But the Alex family is hopeful that through a tangled web of speculation and rumors, the truth will eventually emerge. After all, how much longer can somebody keep a secret?

If you have any information on the disappearance of Jeremy Alex, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Central at (207) 624-7076 ext. 9.

Introducing: Military Murder

1987 - Roxbury, Massachusetts. 
It was Labor Day weekend in 1987. 19-year-old Dora Brimage was celebrating her friend’s birthday when she got into a car to head to a club called Joe’s Jaguar. She never came home. Her body was found the following morning at a construction site when the workers showed up for their shift.
For years, Dora’s case sat unnoticed in a pile of Boston’s unsolved crimes. It hadn’t gotten much coverage when it first happened, and it all but seemed like Dora had faded into history. 
Until 2013, when the DNA from her kit was processed for the first time, revealing a killer who had been there all along.
