Not being much on conspiracies it was easy to ignore the recent reports of many scientists, astronomers, astrophysicists those employed by or associated with the scientific community going missing or being murdered. As the number kept growing the mystery deepened. The number can no longer be ignored and the details have become more disturbing.

One of the missing has been found with unusual circumstances. Melissa Casias was a long time employee of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Northern New Mexico. Did Melissa Casias decide to end her own life or are other entities involved?

LOOKS LIKE MCKENZIE SHIRILLA NEEDS TO BE SCARED STRAIGHT Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 2 of Blunt Force True Crime where we review streaming true crime documentaries, episodic TV shows, books, podcasts, you name it.

This episode features the Netflix documentary "The Crash." This particular telling of the horrible event receives 4 Hachets out of 5. It shows a particular point of view but it covers the case in a mostly complete way. I do urge you find other resources, News Nation, 48 Hours, Dateline, that show other pieces of information that may not have been available when this documentary was put together.

Did McKenzie Shirilla purposely drive her Toyota Camry into a brick building to kill her boyfriend Dominic Russo and their friend Davion Flanagan or was there something else that motivated this tragedy?

Dominic's sister Christine has a podcast honoring her brother on You Tube: The Big Sister: Unhinged

Show notes

Welcome to our first episode of "Blunt Force True Crime," under the Just the Tip-Sters umbrella. This is a departure for us where we will review true crime documentaries, tv shows, streaming content, etc. The episode of "Accident, Suicide or Murder," from the Oxygen Network gets 4 Hachets out of Five for their coverage of Dee Dee's case.

In August of 1994, Delores, "Dee Dee" Jackson was enjoying a new relationship after divorcing her high school Sweetheart, Tito Jackson. Don Bohana was twenty years Dee Dee's senior but had a good life and was by all accounts besotted with the beautiful Dee Dee. While they had only been together a few months, Dee Dee kept three bathing suits at Don's home for late night swims in the Jacuzzi or the full sized pool.

Don said that Dee Dee could do an Olympic style turn in the pool. Her family said she was afraid of the water. What actually happened that night that caused a medical examiner change their determination from Undetermined to Homicide?

LOOKS LIKE WE NEED TO FIND ELAINE MCKINLEY May 23, 2026

Show notes

Elaine McKinley's wife had a simple request for her 81st birthday: a short hike and a picnic with Elaine and a friend. Kit knew it was the perfect time of year to see all of the wild flowers in bloom. Its easy to see that Elaine, 79 and her wife Kit were not your average senior citizens. They hiked three days a week and took ballroom dancing classes three times a week.

Elaine had Alzheimers but was a force to be reckoned with. The three women went on the short, not strenuous hike and as usual Elaine raced ahead of Kit and their friend. It was assumed that Elaine went ahead to the picnic site. When Kit and the friend got to the picnic tables there was no Elaine.

Because of her age and cognitive issues search and rescue responded immediately. Drones, dogs, searchers on foot, thermal planes, no source was spared. And yet...Elaine remains missing.

If you know anything about what happened to Elaine McKinley, please contact that San Mateo County Sheriff's Office at 650-363-4911,

LOOKS LIKE GEORGE GIBSON KNEW WHO KILLED HIM May 14, 2026

Show notes

In June of 2000, George Gibson a successful Veterinarian and researcher for P & G in Cincinnati came home after work, shut this garage door and was never seen alive again. His wife, the equally as successful Paige Smith was headed to New York for a Veterinarian researchers conference.

George had a secret life that now would be considered tame, but he had met many women from chat phone lines in person. Although most of the women reported them as "dates" like walking around parks and meeting to talk.

George was found bound to a chair, shot NUMEROUS times and two of the couples beloved dogs were also shot with a third and her puppies unharmed.

The Ohio Attorney General is supposedly still investigating as well as the West Chester PD.

Tips can be reported to the West Chester Police Department at (513) 777-2231

LOOKS LIKE WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR SCIENTISTS May 01, 2026

Show notes

We started with the episode about the murder of Carl Grillmair on his front porch a few weeks back. We then covered the disappearance of Major General Neil McCasland into thin air.

We are now following the lead of a few agencies and listing ALL of the scientists who have died, were murdered or just plain vanished in the last four years. What do they all have in common? Space exploration, inventors of rocket material, astro physics, and research into life on other plants.

Coincidence? There is no such thing.

LOOKS LIKE MARY ROGERS WAS PUNISHED FOR HER BEAUTY (AND SOME UPDATES) Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

New York in the 1840's was a wild and fascinating burgeoning metropolis with many opportunities, not all good. Mary Rogers was known as "The Beautiful Cigar Girl,' working at a local smoke shop as the owner said her beauty brough in many customers. Mary's mother had opened up her house to boarding after Mary's father died in a tragic steamboat accident. It was mother and daughter trying to get along doing what they needed to do.

Mary's beauty was so renowned at the time that James Fennimore Cooper wrote a poem about her that was published in the New York Herald.

In 1841 Mary told her mother and fiancee Daniel Payne that she was taking a short boat ride to visit her aunt. But she never returned. She was found 3 days later floating in the Hudson River. What happened to Mary?

Her life inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Mystery of Marie Roget," changing Mary's name and making her life in Paris instead of New York

LOOKS LIKE GENERAL MCCASLAND DID NOT GET BEAMED UP Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

Neil McCasland, astronautical engineer, retired US Air Force Major General and former Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory is missing. Not your average 68 year old, an avid hiker and outdoorsman Neil had ridden in a 60 mile bike race a few weeks before going missing. He was home in his main residence in Albuquerque on the morning of February 27, 2026 while his wife was running some errands. His wife returns home around Noon to find Neil gone, but his phone, prescription glasses and other "wearable" devices were left behind.

Searches began immediately with some sleuths believing his disappearance may have ties to his research on Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, and potential extraterrestrial activity.

If YOU know anything about the whereabouts of Major General McCasland please contact the Albuquerque PD at 1-505-768-2020 Or 1-800-CALLFBI

LOOKS LIKE SARA GAIL EBERSOLE NEEDS OUR HELP Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes law enforcement handles cases differently depending on a missing persons vocation. It shouldn't matter that Sara was an exotic dancer for a living. She was a working mother, sister, daughter, friend. Disappearing after work one night was unusual for her normal pattern. There are more than one persons of interest in her case but it appears very clear, she did NOT leave her daughter, her family her friends on her own. Her sister Michelle Tullis is a force to be reckoned with and will not stop until Sara is found and her family sees justice. Her main worry now is her niece and the circumstances are understandable for her worry.

If you know anything about Sara Gail's case or where she might be, please contact: The Marion County Sheriffs office at 352-368-7867 Reference Case #2371 with your tip.
