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?

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,

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.

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.

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

Neil McCasland, astronautical engineer, retired US Air Force Major General and former Commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory is 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.

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.

When a brilliant scientist/astrophysicist buys land in the outskirts of LA County so he can see the stars and planets without light pollution from his homemade planetarium, he thinks he is safe. Carl Grillmair, a 67 year old genius of world renown was found deceased from a gunshot to his upper torso on the front porch of his remote home. One of the foremost authorities on whether there is water on other planets he helped redefine how we think about the potential of life outside of Earth.

Was a young husband, father, son whose family lived with his mother responsible for this? A resident of the small yet storied community that Carl chose to make his home, Freddy Snyder had a short history with Carl but to shoot him on his own porch seems so brutal and out of place.

If YOU know anything about what happened to Carl Grillmair or what allegedly made Freddy Snyder do this please contact the LA County Sheriffs Department Homicide Bureau at: 323-890-5500
