Retired Secret Service agent Todd Hiles and retired FBI agent Stewart Fillmore shift the focus away from the motorcade and into a quiet Dallas neighborhood—where another death would become inseparable from one of the most scrutinized days in American history.
Just forty-five minutes after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit was shot and killed in broad daylight. His murder, occurring miles from Dealey Plaza, would quickly be folded into the official narrative—yet key details have remained contested for decades.
Hiles and Fillmore examine what is known, what was assumed, and what was never fully reconciled. Witness accounts, timelines, and investigative decisions raise questions about how Tippit’s killing fit into the larger picture—and whether its significance has been overshadowed by history’s central crime.
With careful analysis and measured storytelling, Back in Crime explores a case that exists in the margins of the JFK assassination, where unanswered questions linger and the line between coincidence and consequence remains disturbingly unclear.
