Cold Case Solved: The Abe Pipkin File (Part 2)

<p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>In Part 2, we begin where we left off after Henry Lee Lucas proven to be a fraudster and had falsely confessed to Abe&#39;s murder. This was in the time frame of 1985/1986. After this, ASP investigator JR Howard is still working Abe&#39;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 &quot;Unsolved Mysteries&quot; and later on some sort of cold case program,</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to all of the ups, downs and even more tragedy to the Pipkin family in this episode,</p><p><br></p><p><strong>References for this Episode:</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Arkansas State Police File: Received via Freedom Of Information Act: C33-975-77</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://katv.com/archive/father-and-son-murdered-thirty-years-apart</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.thv11.com/article/news/local/family-concerned-over-murderers-parole/91-286981188</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Court documents: https://caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad/search?context=participants&amp;firstName=JACLYN&amp;lastName=DERREBERRY</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/Home/FTPDocument?path=%2FAssembly%2FMeeting+Attachments%2F000%2FI13857%2FExhibit+H.1+-+Parole+Board+-++December+2014+Monthly+Activity+Report.pdf</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>https://www.odmp.org/officer/10695-night-watchman-abe-issac-pipkin</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>&quot;Murder in Searcy&quot; written by Mike S.
