"Wanted Dread or Alive" The Getaway Driver
from Herb and Legends
On "The Getaway Driver" Host Henry K updates the narrative surrounding the individual known as Dennis Lobban, infamously referred to as Leppo, as he explores the hauntingly intricate web of conflicting stories that have emerged since his purported death in 2018. Within the broader context of Jamaica's tumultuous history, Henry K then focuses on the legacy of the late Sybil Hibbert, a pioneering journalist who chronicled the country’s underworld with a deftness that transcended mere reporting. Her work not only captured the pulse of Jamaica during its formative years but also intertwined personal narratives with larger societal issues, thereby enriching the discourse surrounding crime and justice. Henry K reflects on how Hibbert's unique perspective as both a journalist and the spouse of Isadore Dick Hibbert, the lead investigator in the notorious murder of Peter Tosh, imbued her reporting with an unparalleled depth. Finally, examination of Steve Russell, the alleged getaway driver, adds another layer of complexity to the investigation, as Henry K argues that the true story behind Tosh's murder has been obscured by a labyrinth of deceit, misinformation, and sensationalism, leaving a legacy fraught with questions that remain unanswered.
