151. Smells Like The Truth Is Out There - Randy Sellers Update

Just The Tip-Sters: True Crime Podcast

40 years ago this past weekend, on August 16, 1980, 17 year-old Randy Sellers went to the Kenton County, Kentucky Fair to meet with friends and hang out. Sometime during the evening, he had too much to drink, got into a fight, took a swing at one of the policemen who responded to the scene and was eventually taken away in a squad car. He has not been seen or heard from since. In early 2019, on Episode 69 of Just The Tip-Sters, Melissa interviewed the detective then assigned to the case. Then earlier this year on Episode 121, Melissa revealed the wild series of events that occurred after she visited Kenton County to poke around the case in the autumn of 2019. Suffice it to say that if you haven't listened to those past episodes, now is the time. In this episode, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Randy's disappearance, Melissa recaps the case, focusing on the story told by admitted serial killer Donald Leroy Evans, who led law enforcement on a protracted and needless wild goose chase claiming he was the killer - the more likely scenario of what really happened that night at the County Fair, and reinforcing the fact that this case is completely solvable - right now - and that if anyone knows anything about the disappearance of Randy Sellers, the Kentucky State Police want to hear from you - and you can call them at [phone].
