As stated above, there are many elements of this story. We will endeavor to isolate the individual stories within the story in subsequent days.
Time to call the Texas Rangers DPS?
ReplyDeleteThey have already been contacted....useless :(
DeleteThis is the kind of story that makes you think long and hard about the safety of citizens in CC. A lot of reporters have heard this story and want to go public and then SILENCE. NO ONE WILL DO A PUBLIC STORY ON IT. I don't know if its because a deputy's mother is involved or there is something else but honestly this is one for the books. I saw this on Erasmo.. A lot of people are upset and I myself have called in and no one does a thing. You are the first one to talk about it and I'm surprised. Mr Tipton needs justice! Our present sheriff needs to be removed for not doing his job and DA Guzman as well. This is ridiculous! That detective Clipper needs to resign.. He's a disgrace! Lastly I want to thank you Mr Barton for having the balls to speak and report this story. My heart goes out to the Tipton family.
ReplyDeleteWhy would the detective have to resign? The story says that he was told to stand down and stay out and forcibly reassigned?
DeleteExactly....why would you call for Det. Thomas Clipper to resign? It's uninformed comments like these that can have a profound effect on good cops. In addition, who the heck is DA Garza? One could only hope Det. Clipper could have some remedy to hold you accountable for slanderous words.
DeleteSlanderous words stfu ,this family is desperate to find the truth with this cover up how would you feel if this was your loved one dummy.Clipper is in the thick of this bullshit he and many others should be put under oath in this travesty of justice. according to the writer the women who allegedly ran the poor lady over her son's are a deputy and other son Brownsville firefighter .how ever you look at this you can't hide the truth with lies Jesus is always watching you all and some will pay with these falsehoods DA,police detectives,chiefs,lawyers,sheriff good luck with your souls
DeleteLucio and Clan need to be removed from office this next election! But it won't happen. My guess is he and all the other deputies will continue there. You can't win with these people smh
ReplyDeleteMaybe everyone needs to flood the phones of the APD, DA's office, Sheriff's office, DPS, and the Rangers until all the facts are out. People need to be held accountable for their actions, and also those who think they can use their authority as being above the law!
ReplyDeleteVery sad! You the citizens of CC are were this needs to start with. VOTE THIS SORRY DA OUT. As long as YOU the citizens continue to vote him this corruption will continue..If this were YOUR family member you would want Action so STAND UP FOR what is RIGHT and vote is sorry BUTT OUT!
ReplyDeleteYou need to go to Tipton's FB page. He is now attacking Clipper. I have enough one on one experience with Clipper to know he is not trustworthy. It is time the FBI target Clipper for tampering with evidence.
ReplyDeleteFrom Tipton's FB page "Clipper had the three day video of the incident. He told me he could see flashlights where my wife's body was located. That would show that someone knew she was there. Later he changes his story and says he never mentioned flashlights. Now some where between the DA and Clipper the video goes from 3 days to about 50 seconds. Oh and look what comes up deputy idiot admits being at the location looking for a body. He told the officer his mom had no idea where it happened."
I totally believe Tipton. So Clipper is removed from the case after evidence is allegedly altered. And Clipper changes his story according to Tipton. We all know Saenz favors Victor Cortez. Saenz runs cover for this Sheriff deputy's mother, and who gets the blame?- Sheriff Lucio. Who benefits Victor Cortez? There is clear corruption from the Chief, to Saenz, and to Clipper. No matter how you look at this the fact Lucio has taken no action seems to prove someone other than Lucio is running his officer, which is not good. Only Victor Cortez will benefit from this.
But we need to demand an investigation of Clipper for the missing evidence. I have no reason to doubt Tipton especially when I look at my one on one experience with Clipper.

Like everything. . Everyone has their story & will say it to their convince!
ReplyDeleteAll this has to do with money! Mr Tipton had stated in his past Facebook post how he was sorry about mistreating his deacese wife! The point here is that is Mr Tipton looses the case, he won't get compensated for her death!
ReplyDelete3 days missing... is there a missing person report? Why was she let alone walking on a roadway with no sidewalk & in the middle of the night on a cold & rainy day? Did Mr Tipton kicked her out and told her to leave walking? We the PEOPLE need to see facts in both sides! It's true right.. you don't know what you have till it's gone.
Doesn't matter what happened in his marriage this has something to do with someone killing someone then running away, didn't even stop to help her and then calling her son's to get out of this crime fking bullshit
DeleteOOOooOoOoOOO Pd has aloy of skeletons in the closet sheriff dept as well has it's share of skeletons in the closet. That's justice in Cameron County. Puro corruption and u scratch my back I'll scratch yours. Imagine how many stories more or less horrific as this.
ReplyDeleteThats bullshit !!!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Tipton i have been reading your story and your posts on FB , you seem to contradict yourself a lot. At some point you stated that she was sick and that she was going to go get a phone card at the stripes, how would you know that? Where, where you when this happened? if she was sick was she on some medication? And if it was raining, cold and dark why would she go walking for a phone card when she could've used the phone from the hotel or ask for one?
ReplyDeleteObjection; misleading questions; this doesn't change the course of suspicious actions of the manner the investigation was carried out by the Cameron County Justice System.
DeleteJust yesterday or today a Brownsville pd supervisor son and friend drove into the refuge by the Palo Alto battle field and guess what didn't happen to both of them? That right nothing neither of the got arrested for DWI.
ReplyDeleteAll of this does not Matter, her health and marriage is not the issue people..The on going corruption in CC is the issue. The Dirty DA and his little puppets. You vote him out and you Knock out the Puppet master.. It all starts with you the citizens cast your votes get him out and the puppets will fall. Start by Voting all the sorry SOB 's Out..
ReplyDeleteMr. Tipton needs to forward this story to a national news reporting agency to do an investigative report on this, light a fire, get the Feds involved, a civil rights violation, like they did with the KKK.
ReplyDeletePeople we should stay focused on the actions taken that night when Govea hit Mrs. Tipton. She should have stopped and rendered aid....period that us the law
ReplyDeleteWasn't it reported? It was
DeleteI believe it was reported
DeleteDenle dinero al muerto de hambre! Es todo lo que quiere!
ReplyDeleteI believe this is simply a way for Tipton to collect some sort of compensation. Tipton is a MAJOR con-artist and has a great history of it. It saddens is to know that this young lady is no longer with us, but don't believe all that Tipton says. He contradicts himself many times.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous; My son is telling the truth about this case. He has had a lot more patience than I would have. I know to well how corruption works and how foolslike yourself turn into zombies and support it. I will give my name, Anonymous, Bruce Fielding Tipton, professional writer and former international newspaper columnist, and present Priest. Look me up on Google and call me dishonest.
DeleteMaybe the driver was drunk so she didn't stop to check if she would have check she wouldn't be dead
DeleteI thought they said at the beginning after the accident that it showed a passages in the car with hernandez, why wasn't that person mentioned
DeleteI thought they said at the beginning after the accident that it showed a passenger in the car with hernandez, why wasn't that person mentioned
