She calls police to name the killer, but the line goes dead | Forensic Files

Now, sometime not long after Tina was discovered, the York PD gets an anonymous call from a woman who says,
quote, "I want to tell you who killed Tina Knob. I have to hurry before they come and get me." We were having a pot
party that night, her and me and Steven Wayne. They got into a fight and then click, the line goes
dead. Now, some sources say that this woman on the call said, "I know who killed the skeleton under the bridge."
And that they got to arguing versus like a fight. So, there are some conflicting
reports on the exact wording of this, but like I mean, you still get the idea of like this is a bombshell. Yeah, but
it's a bombshell with questions. First off, who are Steven Wayne? The police don't know. No one seems to know. Not
even John recognizes these names. And if I were John, I would be like searching high and low for anyone with those names
to get the heat off of me. Yeah. Or at least side eyeing them. I know. But he truly does not know. Doesn't even
pretend to know to help himself out. Which honestly to me feels honest, right? So there is nothing in the source
material that the police could or did trace this call back to where it might have originated from. If the police
change their mind and talk to us, I will obviously ask. But as far as we can tell, this tip ends up being kind of
like a black hole of nothing that they can verify. It just gives them two more names to add to the list along with
John, if those guys even exist at all. I assume they asked more than just like who are Steve and Wayne when they talked
to John like or like a party like did they ask about that? Like I hope they did. I would assume they did, but who
they asked or what they said, what the question was, like never reported on. I don't know. So, police really only have
John? Well, yes, but only until June 8th when all of a sudden they are forced to
consider an unlikely suspect.
