Episode 56 The Strange Death Of Col Philipe Shue

On April 16 2003, Colonel Philip Shue left his home for work. 2 hours later, on the I-10. Traffic was moving well out of San Antonio, Texas, and nothing was amiss. That was until suddenly and violently, a tan-colored Mercury Tracer swerved straight into the median. The car bounced for well over 1000ft, became airborne, and then smashed back down onto the highway. Yet still, it wasn’t over. Landing correctly on its wheels, the vehicle continued to cruise down the road for miles before veering off to the right and smashing into a cluster of trees. the 54 year old would be found dead in his car, the driver's side caved in and apparently causing him a fatal head injury. Now the thing is, that upon inspecting his body it was pretty clear this wasn't a normal car accident. Among the things that couldn't be attributed to the accident, he had a 6 inch gash on his chest with the skin removed and what looked like several hesitation-like marks near it, his left ear was cut to the bone, and one of his fingers, the pinky, on his left hand had been removed it is said with surgical precision. There's also the fact that both of his nipples had been cut cleanly off. There was also duct tape hanging from his wrists and boots, showing that he had been bound at some point.

His wallet and hospital badge were missing, and whoever grabbed him left a money clip with $47 untouched.

What happened to Col. Shue seemingly began not long after leaving his marital home, his office being a thirty-minute drive away, with the colonel never making it. Where he was or who, if anyone, he was with during that time has never been discovered. So somewhere out there in America lies an as of yet unknown secondary crime scene that has never been located where this crime took place.

The official cause of death remains suicide...
