    FEELS LIKE JAMES "JIMMY" TIDWELL RAN INTO THE WORST GUY: ISRAEL KEYES

    When hard working, loyal, salt of the Earth guy like Jimmy Tidwell goes missing in February of 2012 after finishing his regular shift at work, no one can imagine what could've happened. After friends and family members were suspected but no evidence of involvement was found, some questions might be closer to being answered. While random abductions and murders are relatively rare, Jimmy could have crossed paths with the devil - Israel Keyes. A late 2024 discovery in an area close to where Jimmy was last seen could have been used in his disappearance and likely murder. Could Jimmy be another victim of Israel Keyes?

    If you have any information on the disappearance of Jimmy Tidwell from Mount Enterprise Texas, please contact the Rusk County Sheriff's Department at 903-657-3581 or anonymously at the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 903-657-TIPS (8477)

    FEELS LIKE INDIANA WANTS HIM-FOR 22 YEARS: THE MURDER OF ROBIN BAXTER

    A small town in South Eastern Indiana, New Albany has gone through some very interesting changes. An area where more wealthy residents lived in large brick homes over looking the Ohio River when it was settled, it was always in the shadow of the larger metropolis of Louisville Kentucky just across a bridge. It had fallen on hard times and lost some of its lustre but has recently found a renaissance and has become a hip area with gentrified homes and highly touted gastro pubs. In 1990 New Albany was in flux but no one would ever imagine a lovely young bride, Robin Baxter would end up floating in the Ohio River four days after she was reported missing. Why did it take 22 years and two generations of detectives to solve her case? Hear Robin's story here.

    FEELS LIKE TAMMY LYNN LEPPERT HAD A BRIGHT FUTURE

    With newspaper headlines like "Brevard's Answer to Shirley Temple," and "Cocoa Beach Girl Star of Tomorrow," you would think Florida native Tammy Lynn Leppert had the world on a string. Performing since she was two years old, Tammy Lynn's career in entertainment was a family affair. Her mother Linda was an actor's agent and owned a talent agency, her older sister would help with costumes and makeup and even her younger brother would watch her performances and applaud. Tammy Lynn had roles in "Little Darlings," and was sought after for voice over work as well as modeling, being on the cover of Cover Girl Magazine. Everyone thought she was on her way with a small role in "Scarface," shooting in Miami, not that far from her home. But she left a few days into the shoot, returned home and went though several months of anxiety, panic and becoming an introvert. She asked a friend whom she dated in the past to come and get her for a drive. Keith Roberts did pick her up on July 6, 1983 and states that Tammy Lynn got out of his car around 5 miles from her home. She has never been heard from or seen again. Where is Tammy Lynn Leppert and what happened? If you have any information about what happened to Tammy Lynn Leppert PLEASE contact the Cocoa Beach PD at 321-868-3251

    FEELS LIKE JERRY ANNAN WAS AMBUSHED

    WHO would want to harm a beloved husband, father, son, and community activist who gave so much of him self to the military and veteran organizations? A man who performed any fun raising concert to support the troops? Jerry Annan was a Southern California musician and Karaoke host who was treasured by everyone he met. And he never met a stranger. November 20, 1993 was like many other days with Jerry hosting Karaoke at the Hideaway Club in Lakewood, CA. After the club closed Jerry was loading his equipment into his pickup truck with a camper shell over the truck bed. The female bartender even helped him take some of the equipment to his vehicle. An ear witness heard some arguing on the street before a shot. 4 white or light skinned Hispanic men shot Jerry for his equipment using two of their own vehicles while 2 of the perpetrators drove away in Jerry's truck. It was abandoned in Long Beach the following day. All of this including his life for some sound equipment?!?!?!

    If you know anything about what happened to Jerry Annan please contact Detective Shaun McCarthy at the LASD Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500
