In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa discusses the 1977 crime case of Abe Pipkin of Beebe, Arkansas; this is a part 2 of a 2 part series. I covered this case for my live show in Malvern, Arkansas on July 11th--in an abbrievated for time way.
In Part 2, we begin where we left off after Henry Lee Lucas proven to be a fraudster and had falsely confessed to Abe's murder. This was in the time frame of 1985/1986. After this, ASP investigator JR Howard is still working Abe's case but it is cold. Any leads coming in are looked at and the ASP tries to get help from the public by participating in TV programs like "Unsolved Mysteries" and later on some sort of cold case program,
Blessedly a huge lead pops up in 1993, but it will take almost a decade for this lead to end in an arrest of a suspect who will be tried and convicted named Gary Lee Evans.
Listen to all of the ups, downs and even more tragedy to the Pipkin family in this episode,
