#248 The Hazing Death of Tucker Hipps

Trucking tycoon Bill Hall Jr was a hit with the ladies (namely his wife Frances), but even at 50, Bill was still winning hearts. Like that of the exotic dancer Bonnie Contreras. When Bill, his wife, and his mistress met in a high-speed chase on Route 1604, tragedy was inevitable. Now only two of them are alive to tell their side of the story.    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEWD z0QHhsY   Meet, Marry, Murder - Season 1, Episode 23 - Hall - Full Episode   https://www.freightwaves.com/news/wife-of-slain-texas-trucking-magnate-sentenced-to-probation-in-9m-fraud-case  

The neighborhood of New Brighton in Ramsey County Minnesota is a safe and quiet one…usually. Except for the evening of May 5th 2014 when gunshots rang out on Knollwood Drive. What had begun as a minor disagreement over feeding deer, would ultimately end with murder!   Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com  

Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religious cult based out of San Diego, California, founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles.  On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group, who had participated in a mass suicide in order to reach what they believed was an extraterrestrial spacecraft following the Hale–Bopp comet. Just before the suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: "Hale-Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ... Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion – 'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level."    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee   Strange & Unexplained   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://www.heavensgate.com/   https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/heavens-gate-cult-members-found-dead   https://academic.oup.com/jcmc/article/3/3/JCMC334/4584381   https://www.sdsheriff.gov/bureaus/media-relations/common-questions/heaven-s-gate-case   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_(religious_group)   Heaven's Gate Cult Initiation Tape Part 1  

The texts started after the arrest. Students texting their friends and parents, who then formed group chats with other parents. The details were fuzzy, but what they knew was Winston Nguyen, a math teacher at Saint Ann’s School, where parents pay up to $60,000 a year for tuition, had been arrested in front of students. Nguyen, 37, was charged with 11 felony counts, of posing as a teen and fellow student on Snapchat, where he allegedly asked children to send him nude, sexual images. Had this been Nguyen’s first felony, the reaction from parents might have been more shock than blind outrage. But, Nguyen had a long history of deception, he’d conned roommates, friends, and even his own family! So how did the school that claims to be “unabashedly committed to excellence,” welcome a con man into the classroom?

Remember Ellen Greenburg? The teacher who was stabbed 20 times in her apartment and her death was ruled a suicide? Yea, well they're thinking about changing that, shocker. Also we talk Disney+ terms and conditions. We're sure you've read them....you have read them right? Because Disney is trying to dodge a wrongful death suit because the victim signed up for Disney+! And last but not least we wrap it up with some good ol' medical malpractice. An Atlanta hospital is being sued after losing a piece of man's skull, and a pretty good size piece too, as far as brain flaps are concerned.   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com

Thirty-one-year-old Melanie Uribe was on her way to work, when two men kidnapped her by forcing their way into her truck at a stoplight. By the next morning the police had found her truck, burned out, on a side street. The story of Melanie Uribe, and her murder, is mostly overshadowed by the alleged psychic vision(by Etta Smith) that led police to her body.  Most of what you’ll find on this case is about Etta Smith, many folks believe she was crucial in solving this murder, we don't.   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://unsolvedmysteries.fandom.com/wiki/Melanie_Uribe   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZp-n9BOCac   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GObjRTzuPOk   https://youtu.be/hPZARCj_XwA?si=XLB0GTqv4Eggm3MJ https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/psychic-falsely-arrested-over-vision-31546119

Heidi Marie Allen was 18-years-old when she disappeared from her job at the D & W Convenience Store in New Haven, New York. Her last transaction was recorded on the cash register at 7:42 a.m. At approximately 8:15 a.m. a civilian flagged down an officer and reported that the store was unattended. Heidi’s jacket, purse and car keys were found left there, along with her maroon colored station wagon. Her body was never found, and the suspects don't make sense. Was this a small town cover up or gross incompetence?   True Crime Guys YouTube   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify   OhMyGaia.com Code: Creeper       Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   NBC3 Exclusive: "Heidi Allen Files"   Heidi Allen Case: Interview with Michael Bohrer   https://www.oswegocounty.com/departments/public_safety/sheriff/heidi_allen_investigation.php   https://www.wrvo.org/podcast/the-heidi-allen-case-central-new-yorks-most-enduring-mystery   https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/marking-30-years-since-heidi-marie-allens-mysterious-disappearance-in-new-york-gary-thibodeau-convicted-kidnapping-charge-new-haven-fire-department-missing-woman-case-oswego-county-sheriffs-office-investigation
