LOOKS LIKE SCIENTISTS ARE UNDER ATTACK: CARL GRILLMAIR

from Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast · host Bleav + Melissa Morgan

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 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
