  • Episode 301 The Tippit Murder Part 14 The Mather Affair
    Oct 11 2025

    Episode 301 is the fourteenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In this fourteenth episode, we tell the story of Carl Mather and the identification of the red Ford Falcon in the El Chico restaurant parking lot. T. F. White, a confidential informant working at the garage next door, spots a car in that parking lot. One that is positioned suspiciously and has a prominent sign attached to its window. A sign that appears to be meant for someone to find it. One of the car's passengers is a man that looks just like Lee Harvey Oswald. And to top it off, the car has a license plate that is registered NOT to the car it's attached to, but to a car owned by one of J.D. Tippit's best friends, Carl Mather. Carl works for a company named Collins Radio that is heavily involved with the CIA. Folks, you just can't write this stuff.

    Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I’ve created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all! And don’t worry, as the fall winds turn cooler, we will all be vacationing once again, in Mexico…I think you know what I mean by that. But our new wander takes precedent. As usual, you’ll experience the event with ear popping detail, as you listen up to what really happened. So stay tuned, and keep an eye out for what I think may be one of the best miniseries that we’ve done yet. It will be on the airwaves before you know it, and please let your friends in on this one too…folks…you just cant write this stuff…

    Oct 10 2025

    Episode 300 is the thirteenth episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. David Belin, the celebrated Warren Commission attorney called it the "Rosetta Stone" of the JFK assassination. It may very well be just that...but for other reasons! In this thirteenth episode, we address three topics related to the escape of the assailant from the murder scene. First, the jacket and who actually found it... and what implications that has for the case and for identification of Tippit's killer. Second, The Abundant Life Temple and how this controversial structure fits into the story tell... and what it might really have been on that day in Dallas. Finally, we address Bernard Haire the witness who, along with Butch Burroughs, saw a second arrest take place at the Texas theatre.

    Yes…there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together.

  • Episode 299 The Tippit Murder Part 12 Tippit's Movements Just Before His Murder
    Oct 4 2025

    Episode 298 is the tweltfh episode of our mini-series on the Tippit murder. Dallas Patrolman J.D. Tippit's actions on November 22, 1963, were, by any measure, erratic. He abandoned his assigned beat after the JFK assassination and conducted a tense vigil at the GLOCO filling station, watching the main escape route from Dealey Plaza, apparently "hunting for a specific quarry". This erratic behavior led to a chaotic chase, the search of a car and a desperate, unanswered phone call made at the top ten record shop just minutes before his death. Ultimately, Tippit's unexplained connections and movements that day lead us to three possible theories about his involvement in the case. Either he was an innocent victim who ran into the president's killer that day...or perhaps a targeted victim lured to his execution as part of plot to frame Oswald. Or alternatively maybe neither of those theories are true Maybe Tippit himself was a co-conspirator who was silenced, making his death the "Rosetta Stone" to the broader assassination plot. Its time to learn more about this man JD Tippit, and especially his movements that day in Dallas.

    Yes, there is a grave possibility that the true "Rosetta Stone" of November 22nd, 1963, might just lie in the quiet Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff, waiting for us to finally put the pieces together. This is a wander I’ve created especially for you…and of all the wanders you have taken with me, this may be the most thrilling of all!
