Show notes

January 9th: Tommy Sullivan Kills (1988)

When one takes their own life they take with them the ability to understand the motive behind an attack. On January 9th 1988 a murder took place and, though a note was left behind, a young man’s suicide took away the any real attempts at understanding the motive behind the action beyond speculation.

January 7th: James Gilmore Goes Missing (1962)

When someone disappears, you expect people to mourn the loss. Especially when that person is a child. On January 7th 1962 a young boy went missing. And, though his family searched for him, and so did the police, it seemed that not everyone was too torn up about his disappearance.

January 5th: Paul Gruber Estimated Time of Death (1994)

Sometimes the evidence against someone is so overwhelming there doesn’t seem to be a need to look for any other suspects. On January 5th 1994 a man went missing or, in the case of some of the timelines, was likely killed. A case in which there was only really ever one suspect because of the immense amount of evidence pointing in his direction.
