Marisa Govea Hernandez killed Mary Tipton, striking her with her white Volkswagen, then leaving the scene without rendering aid or even reporting the accident. Mary lay face down in a ditch for three days before discovered by a construction worker walking along FM 803.

| Detective Thomas Clipper |
Yes, there is evidence of malpractive by McAllen Attorney Oscar Alvarez, hired by Ralph Tipton. Lawyers react just as BPD Detective Thomas Clipper reacted when confronted by pressure from his "superiors." They cave.
The bottom line is that Marisa Govea Hernandez must take personal responsibility in the death of Mary Tipton.
Footnote: The two articles we've written about the hit-and-run accident leading to the death of Mary Tipton have set records for individual, singular articles at the Brownsville Observer. The first article had over 15,000 page views with the second at 11,000 and growing. Obviously, this incident struck a nerve with Brownsville, Cameron County.
All of the above is only worth shit unless it results in justice for Mary Tipton.
As much corruption as Cameron County citizens have been exposed to, and put up with... Limas, Villalobos, Rosenthal, Marchan, Yzaguirre, and sadly the list goes on... I do not believe all the facts are being told to the public. Had there been wronging by Sheriff, Brownsville Police, Private attorneys, and the DA, the feds would have had every single person involved in jail. It is a tragedy this woman was killed on a dark highway ALONE, but she had no business walking along a deserted, dangerous, pitch black highway BY HERSELF. Not only is it pitch black, there is a prison within walking distance!
ReplyDeleteWhat was involved in the plea deal of Govea? What was the punishment?
What the fuck is "wronging"? Since when is it okay to hit and run, just because it's dark and there happens to be a prison nearby and you're unaccompanied? Hunh? This comment was obviously written by a hit and run supporter.
DeleteWTF is a "Hunh?" I'm not a hit and run supporter... I just think its stupid to accuse everyone under the sun of being corrupt when I see many inconstancies in this story. Should these accusations all be completely true, someone would be sitting behind bars. I agree that Mary deserves justice. I'm just asking why she was traveling alone and in such a deserted area in the dark... something about the narrative doesn't sit well.
DeleteWhat's it matter that she was walking alone in the dark in a deserted area? Are you justifying that it's okay to have hit her, killed her and driven off because she had no business being out there? If there is inconsistencies in the story, you should do your own research and fill out the narratives for yourself as opposed to question why a person was where they were at. It's not communist Germany yet, people can still walk around at whatever time they feel like it.
DeleteThe plea was stopped by people calling in. She was struck and killed under astreet light and left there to die. Read the case files.
ReplyDeleteThat's not how the justice system works. People are not allowed to phone in and give their option during a trail!!! Mary deserves justice and the public deserves to know the truth.
DeleteThe question Is why the bitch didn't stop and render aid
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe question is why the bitch didn't stop and render aid was she drunk
ReplyDeleteI think she did do a police report
DeleteBull shit enough lรญes talk straight her husband didnt give a shit for her one of a sudden he cares is in his head for beating her up all the time,she was missing 2 weeks prior the accident if husband really cares she wouldnt gone missing
ReplyDeleteFuck you bitch. You dont know nothing about them. They were everything to eachother
DeleteEven if that is true, fact is mary is dead and was killed in a hit and run. The woman left her there. Mary's marriage and whether or not her relationship with her husband was healthy or not, does not change that fact. She was killed and the person who left her there dead in a ditch needs to be held accountable.
DeleteIt changes everything. How do we know this wasn't a suicide?
DeleteI can tell you from her own voice that she was living a tourmentous relationship with the all of a sudden in love husband and seek for refuge to her problems in alcohol and drugs along with him
DeleteGovea should have stopped and rendered aid PERIOD ! Doesn't matter why, when or where Mrs. Tipton was walking the right thing to do is render aid !!
ReplyDeleteYes thank you
DeleteTheres people on here trying to mix things up. Be smart. You dont kill a girl and call ur kids to help u cover it up. If you do you should get the needle. And everyone involved should to
ReplyDeleteIts true the public doesn't hear the whole story. I happen to know this family through my husband...she DID stop her vehicle when she hit the lady, but it was very dark and foggy as well and she did not see anything. She drove on, but it bothered her so she immediately told her son - due to him working for the Sheriff' - and he drove with her back to the scene. He ALSO didn't find anything.They DID report the incident but nothing happened until a body was discovered DAYS later. When that came out, Ms. Govea went with her son to turn herself in to the authorities.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteA report was done! Never tried to hide the accident
Do you want to tell us to whom they reported the incident so an open records of the report an be made and verified?
DeleteI do not believe that her husband is telling the truth. Mary deserves justice!
DeleteHernandez should have stopped no matter what. She has a son that's works for the Sheriff's Department you see the car park there all the time at the house
ReplyDeleteHe's an asshole.. he love's to give tickets and arrest people..
DeleteNo matter what, Mary was a human being and did not deserve to be hit & left there to die like an animal. This lady should've stopped to help. PS, let us not forget how DA Saenz has experience with hit & runs. http://valleycentral.com/news/local/hit-and-run-by-siblings-leaves-man-in-critical-condition
ReplyDeleteWhat does it matter that she was walking alone? It doesn't change the fact the she was hit by a woman who has faced no punishment for killing a person. Please stop blaming the victim and focus on the real problem. And, to believe that these accusations are false because no one is in jail or because federal agents haven't stepped in is naive at best. The amount of corruption and underhanded dealings within the Brownsville and Cameron County political systems have been around for as long as they have been established and federal government isn't going to step in until someone makes it their business.
ReplyDeleteJustice for Mary and her husband is what is needed, and if that means exposing the corrupt officials that dealt with this horrible situation then so be it.
I don't know why we keep insisting that the driver is trying to cover up. There is a report for the accident and when it came to light, she did the right thing in turning herself in. Period. She did what she had to, call the police call for help.
ReplyDeleteSo, since she(Govea) did everything right...call her son, reported the incident and turn herself in, it makes her not guilty and her $500 bond will taje care of the rest. Please, let me.fond logic to this scenario
DeleteShe did the right thing
DeleteAbout the 500 bond maybe its cause she has no record like the loving husband that assaults wifes and has gambling charges and so on
Wrong. Our Feds take corruption in our judicial system very seriously.
ReplyDeleteThe driver did take responsibility. She made a report and turned herself in.
ReplyDeleteAFTER she was busted.
DeleteRegardless of what people think of the deceased woman's husband, a crime was committed. Whether or not you people like the guy has no bearing as to whether or not this life that was taken and allowed to rot in a ditch on the side of the road has value.
Justice should be blind- and the victim is the deceased who deserves that justice.
I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A MATTER OF MONEY WANTING... AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND MR. TIPTON HAD BEEN OFFERED A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO SETTLE WICH HE REFUSED TO TAKE, BUT INSISTED IF HE GOT WAY MORE THAN HE WAS OFFERED HED BE OK... THESE DOINGS ARE WHAT KEEP ME EXCEPTIVE OF WHAT HE IS REALLY CHACING... JUSTICE??? OR HIS WELL BEING??? IS HE REALLY HURT??? OR IS HE JUST AFRAID HELL END UP GETTING NOTHING CAUSE OF HIS HUNGER FOR MONEY??? ASIDE FROM ALL THIS WE MAY WANT TO CONSIDER THAT MR. AND MRS. TIPTON HAD GOTTEN INTO AN UGLY FIGHT THAT NIGHT AND SHE WAS KICKED OUT OF THE PLACE THEY HAD BEEN (PARTYING) AND ACOORDING TO THE RECORDS SHE HAD SOMETHING NOT TONORMAL ON HER SYSTEM... I COULD KEEP GOING FOR HOURS DESCRIBING SOME DESCREPANCIES ABOUT HIS WANTING TO LOOK SAD STORY BUT ILL JUST LEAVE IT UP TO THE JUSTICE TO DECIDE ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE...
ReplyDeleteYou clearly have no idea how the system works. The insurance company will only offer policy limits. any competent attorney will take policy limits so i doubt anything was turned down. Most people only have about $30,000 in liability - a few have $50,000 - it would be highly unlikely she had more than $50,000. So I do not believe his attorney turned down anything
DeleteWhy hasnt no one sent a tip to the FBI to open an investigation?
ReplyDeleteWhat also bothers me is that she did not call 911 but her son instead. Why do people call their close relatives who work in law enforcement? To cover their ass. Her son should not have been the one to search for that woman. That right there is a conflict of interest. I hear so many stories from people I know who work in law enforcement. From deputies to state troopers. They get so annoyed by their aunts,uncles,abuelas,padrinos,cousins,second cousins twice removed calling them whenever they get into any kind of trouble. Deal with your own shit people. Also to the people blaming the victim, walking at night does not mean you deserve to be killed.
ReplyDeleteIF MR TIPTON LOOSE'S THE CASE . HE WONT GET COMPENSATED FOR HER DEATH! THAT'S WHY HE TRYING TO EVERYONE CALL EVERYWHERE! HE'S HUNGRY FOR $$$$! HE'S TRYING TO SUE WHO EVER HE WANTS BUT DUE TO HER BEING AT FAULT, & DIDN'T GET MUCH, HE'S USING EVERYONE TO GET MORE MONEY! HE LOOSES, HE WILL STAY HUNGRY FOREVER! USE THE HEAD PEOPLE! LOOK AT THE REPORTS HE HIMSELF POSTED AND WHAT HE CLAIMS! IT'S BULLSHIT! IF AN ATTORNEY THAT YOUR ASS HIRED, TURNS AWAY IT'S BECAUSE HE BELIVE'S YOUR FULL OF SHIT! NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANNA HELP YOU, BECAUSE YOUR FULL OF SHIT! I'VE KNOW TIPTON AND HE'S A HUNGRY GUY WHO HAS EVERYTHING TO LOOSE IF HE LOOSES THE CASE! HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER IN THIS LIFE! SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MY FRIEND BUT I'LL LET GOD JUDGE YOU WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE!
ReplyDeleteFinally people speaking the truth about this egocentric greedy so calling himself loving husband. As per the accident, everyone deserves second chances and Mr. Ralph Tipton would agree. Who better than to know the system than yourself which you have used as it fits your criminal record from drugs dealing charges to plea bargaining out of the largest immigration scheme in the state of texas, so let's make you famous. Didn't you use the fiscal in your favor in return for jail time. The bottom line is you stoled money from poor people. Isn't that a crime and why are you not in jail we may ask the public? I heard it from her voice that she was miserable and tired of supporting your sorry ass. It is no wonder you will do anything for money even posting pictures of her dead body, how dare you do that to her. May god grant you all the money so you can shut the fuck up and let her rest in peace. #letsmakeyoufamousralphtiptonimmigrationscheme
ReplyDeleteHow much money you want Mr Tipton so you can pay off your debts and can shut up???? Let's all pitch in!
DeleteI make a donation myself from Port Arthur to your bank account!
Ok it was dark n rainy or whatever, she didnt see her its an accident...Stop the car n render aid...she could have lived. Just imagine her suffering if she died there all alone because she didnt have the heart or the courage to render aid. AND TO ALL THOSE THAT SAY SHE DID STOP....NO....THERE A VIDEO SHOWING WHERE SHE DID NOT STOP TO RENDER AID.
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on her cold soul, karma will get her when shes in prison.
The same people saying tipton shouldnt have been out going for a run at night are the same ones who blame women for rape. This woman was out running and Hernandez hit her with her car. It was said hernandez was under an influence also. So she foes home. Calls her law-enforcement son then 3 days later, comes clean. Everyone knows that cops cover their own asses and their families. Thats how it works. Lawyers and law enforcement work together, you cant defend the family cause you have to defend your job. Hernandez deserves to rot. She took a life and left tipton faced down in a ditch by herself..
ReplyDeleteI hope all the law enforcement officers being accused of corruption by Tipton sue for defamation.
ReplyDeleteDamn....so much information...but point is hit n run...jail time.
ReplyDeleteNot hit and run
DeleteTheir is a report and the pd officer did not go look
ASSAULT CHARGES? PROTECTIVE ORDER ORDER BY MS TIPTON? GAMBLING CHARGES? DRUG CHARGES? WHAT A LOVELY HUSBAND!
ReplyDeleteGIVE THE MAN SOME MONEY SO HE CAN HAPPY AND HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT! I've known this man for too long!
I don't care about their marital issues. I don't care if they have used drugs. The focus should be on the way the entire incident was handled. Notice I said incident not accident; because if it was truly an accident 911 would have been called not her son. She would have stopped called 911 and rendered aid and the normal course of any accident investigation would have begun. Since she chose for whatever reason (scared) or ( under the influence) to handle this horrific event in the manner she did makes her look shady and her son the deputy look like he is trying to cover something up. You people on here commenting about the Tipton personal life and not focusing on the facts that look shady is bizarre to me....and it shows why the corruption is elected time and time again because drunk under the influence voters want the same kind of favoritism that was shown to this GOVEA lady. Well just pray that if you are ever done wrong by any if the agencies mentioned in this story you remember who you defended and pray that these officials will give you the same type of treatment; however deep pockets full of money better be willing to share the Benjamin's $$ It is all about the money and who you know to find justice in Cameron County
