89. Sounds Like LARPing Gone Bad...Or Something - The David Grubbs Murder - With Special Guest Chief Tighe O'Meara

In the dark early evening of November 20, 2011, 23 year-old David Michael Grubbs left his job at a local supermarket in Ashland Oregon, carrying some groceries, to walk home.  Just a couple of hours later, David's body was found just off a bike path that was on his route home.  The body was nearly decapitated by what police determined was a medium to large blade such as a sword or machete.  Now going on eight years since the horrific crime, law enforcement is still struggling to arrest a suspect - despite a raft of possibilities - including the fact that Ashland is home to dozens of LARPers (Live Action Role Players) who routinely use such weapons in their games.  And other than David's family, no one is more frustrated and determined to bring his killer to justice than Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara, who at the time of the murder was a uniformed officer, and first on the scene.  Listen as Melissa and Chief O'Meara discuss the case,some possible motives and even a person of interest that police have not been able to question.  If you have any information on the Grubbs murder, contact the Ashland Oregon Police Department at (541) 488-2211.  SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR - KLEANSPA BATH & BODY - Offering a full range of scrubs, oils, moisturizers and perfumes in dozens of unique, hand-made fragrances.  Visit kleanspa.com and get 15% off your total order by entering Promo Code TIPSTERS at checkout.  Kleanspa - prepare to smell delicious!
