LOOKS LIKE SCIENTISTS ARE UNDER ATTACK: CARL GRILLMAIR

Author: Melissa Morgan, Bleav March 23, 2026 Duration: 43:57
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. How does he end up murdered on his own front proch?

Melissa Morgan brings her professional broadcasting skills and an insatiable curiosity to Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast. This isn't a dry recitation of facts; it's a guided exploration into the cases that linger in the margins, both solved and chillingly open. Each episode feels like joining a conversation with a friend who happens to be deeply knowledgeable about detective work and forensic science, making complex details accessible and strangely compelling. You'll find yourself pulled into investigations, examining the evidence alongside her, and appreciating the odd tangents into the spiritual or the simply weird that some cases inspire. The tone here is unique-it respects the gravity of the subject while allowing space for the gallows humor that often accompanies a deep dive into the absurdities of human behavior. It’s that blend of professionalism, contagious curiosity, and unexpected wit that defines the journey. This podcast lives in the details others might overlook, always listening for that one piece of the puzzle, that potential tip from anywhere, that could shift an entire perspective. Prepare for a ride that is as thoughtful as it is engaging, where mysteries are picked apart with both a critical eye and a genuine sense of wonder about the stories we tell about crime and the people involved.
