Suicide or Murder for Money?: The Strange Case of Tim McNamara

from Killer Instinct · host Studio71

A suspicious death, insurance payouts, multiple instances of incest, and so much more. Tim McNamara's case has many complicated layers and theories, and Savannah explores them all. Tim McNamara died from a gunshot wound to the head, but whether it was self-inflicted or a murder by his "wife" Tracy Nessl is still up for debate. Tim is Tracy's biological uncle with several accusations of molestation, and even supposedly dated Tracy's mother decades ago. Savannah wades through the strange family history and attempts to make sense of this mysterious death. Was Tim riddled with so much guilt and financial issues that he took his own life or did Tracy kill him in cold blood?

Hit Man iHeartPodcasts In 1983, Paladin Press, a fringe publisher, released a book called Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. The author, who went by the pen name Rex Feral, offered very specific tips for the aspiring contract killer— where to find employment, how much to charge...and how to get away with murder. Ten years later, Tiffani Horn’s mother, 8-year-old brother, and a close family friend were found murdered. The exhaustive investigation involved multi-state surveillance and wiretaps, but it wasn’t until detectives stumbled upon Hit Man that they suddenly had what they called a blueprint for the murders. Hosted by journalist Jasmyn Morris.
