Hall of Shame Leads To Possible Serious and Deadly Results

When Investigative Reporters Fox News 2 Reporter Rob Wolchek shows up at your place of business or residence, you’re in trouble.  The reporter has made a career out of exposing crooked business people, corrupt politicians and people behaving badly.   He features these wrongdoers on an episode called, “The Hall of Shame.”  The show had led to some people being convicted for their crimes and even being deported from the country.  But for two “Hall of Shame” recipients they would be victims of unsolved crimes.

One of them was Larry Jordan who owns an auto repair shop named Discount Auto Salvage.  The company and it’s owner had issues with shoddy repair work and not refunding money.  Jordan was jumped and seriously hurt by three masked individuals at his home early Wednesday morning on Shelby Creek Drive, in Shelby Township, Michigan on April 10, 2013.  His house was ransacked by the assailants and the case is still not solved.  Police believe that it was a targeted attack but not related to him being on the show.

The second case involved a man named Gary Lupiloff who was a known scam artist.  He was an attorney who lost his license for cheating clients. Rob Wolchek  featured him on his “Hall of Shame” episode  in 1999 which ended up getting Lupiloff prison time.  He would soon get out of prison, change his name and start a new business.  On the afternoon of July 13, 2010, someone killed Lupiloff with a rifle shot to the heart when he was outside his house on the phone in the 2700 block of Ardmore in the town of Royal Oak, Michigan.  Police believe it was a professional hit and there is a composite sketch of what the suspect looked like when it happened.   The suspect is described as being  a white male, 5 feet, 8 inches tall driving a black crossover vehicle or maybe a bicycle.

Law Enforcement have a person of interest in this murder, a business partner of Lupiloff who had a $500,000 life insurance policy.  The individual in question has denied any responsibility for the murder.  If you have any information about this case please contact the Royal Oak police number is (248) 246-3500.

Two Victims and a Shady Past

It was March 18th, 1981, when 54 year old former New York construction executive William Callahan, 54, and Broadway chorus girl Wendy McDade, 29, were victims of execution style homicides in the Chiwaukee Prairie in Kenosha County. The two were shot multiple times. Prior to their murders, they had been staying at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. Police do not believe the motive was robbery as there was a $5,000 watch and $1,500 in Canadian currency on Callahan’s body. Callahan was married but he was romantically involved with McDade.
Callahan himself was a former dancer and actor but eventually got into legal trouble when it was discovered he was embezzling millions of dollars from the Arc Electrical Construction company. The company was headed by his own father-in-law. At one time Law Enforcement looked at a New York City Lawyer and a convicted con artist who were investigated in a separate murder. To date, no one has been charged with the crime.

If you have any information about this crime, please contact the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department at 262-605-510. You can also call Crimestoppers at 800-807-TIPS (8477)

Nearly Three Decades Later A Brother Pursues Answers & Justice

This is a copy of a facebook post by Jason White whose brother Chad White was murdered and Chard’s fiancee Dixie Kinser was seriously wounded on May 21st 1993 in the town of Corning, Iowa. 

Hello everyone,
As many of you know. On this day 27 years ago my brother Chad William White was murdered in his home, and his fiancé Dixie Kinser was shot, but survived. I was graduating high school in 2 days, and Dixie was to have her bridal shower the next day. I showed up right after it happened. Dixie was still laying on the ground outside of their home. Many of my friends and family were coming to my graduation, but they ended up staying for a funeral. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion for my family, but its been a nightmare for us ever since. My father could not handle my brother’s murder, and killed himself a year later. Causing even more heartache for myself and my family.

No one was ever arrested or convicted of my brother’s murder. In a town so small where everyone knows everything about everybody, I truly cannot believe no one knows anything about this murder. It has haunted me for 27 years now, and what hurts me the most is that I cannot do anything to help my brother. Also, that no one is helping solve this case. There is no Cold Case department in Iowa. I’ve tried to get the case file, so I can maybe do my own investigation. The Adams County Sheriff’s Department and the DCI of Iowa have been less than helpful when it comes to solving Chad’s murder. I have been the only one for years who calls and checks on Chad’s murder investigation.

So, this year I’m asking all of you to give your voice for Chad. I’m leaving the cell phone numbers for Alan Johannes, the Adams County Sheriff and the DCI agent currently in charge of Chad’s case, Jared Kastner, at the end of this message. I would like each and everyone of you to repost my message, and call these people to voice your frustrations, like mine, about nothing being done about my brother, Chad William White’s murder on May 21st 1993.

Also, if you or someone you know knows anything about this case, or thinks they know anything about this case. I strongly encourage you to contact these two people or 1-800-Crime Stoppers. I’m really sad and frustrated being the only one that wants something done about Chad’s murder. Please help me. I don’t know what else I can do, but somebody needs to start doing something. This has hurt myself and my family for too long. Thank you, Jason White
Alan Johannes-712-621-6887
Jared Kastner-712-251-9212
This is for Chad. I love you, and I will never forget you, or what was done to you. You didn’t deserve to be murdered at 21 years old.
