Who Ordered The Hit On Tupac?
Episode 7, Aug 03, 2023, 07:00 PM
In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discuss new developments in the investigation of Tupac Shakur's murder, which occurred nearly 30 years ago. The conversation turns towards recent leads brought about by the examination of previously seized items from the house of Keffe D, a key person of interest.
"I think a lot of people, including myself, believe we already know who the killer is," said Brueski. Indeed, Orlando Anderson, who has been deceased since the 90s, has been frequently named as the gunman, even by Keffe D himself.
However, with the suspected gunman dead, the investigation turns its focus to accomplices and those with precise knowledge of the incident. Coffindaffer confirmed that law enforcement is primarily searching for co-conspirators and accomplices, with the aim to provide closure, not just to those affected directly, but also to fans worldwide.
"I think everybody just wants to have closure... and I think that that's deserved in terms of really getting down to the nuts and bolts and the facts," said Coffindaffer.
The retired FBI agent hinted at an upcoming post on new information about the gun used in the shooting. She stated that officers were trying to find bullets or ammunition that matched those used in the crime. The intention is not only to solidify the evidence against the previously identified parties but also to potentially link others to the crime.
While some view Keffe D's confessions as admissions of guilt, it is unclear if these statements will lead to charges against him. However, Coffindaffer explained that if he is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, it would mark a significant development in the case.
She also expressed appreciation for law enforcement's continuing efforts to solve the crime, emphasizing the importance of resolving unsolved crimes, especially in light of the substantial information available in Tupac's case.
Coffindaffer and Brueski discussed how the culture of silence has been a significant factor delaying the case's progress. Numerous individuals seemingly had knowledge of who committed the crime and why, but many chose to keep quiet.
Despite the suspected gunman's death, Coffindaffer believes the case can still be solved based on witness accounts and other evidence. She elaborated on the possibilities of charging others involved in the crime and highlighted the efforts law enforcement is making to this end.
The discussion shifted to the type of evidence that might be found on the digital devices seized from Keffe D's home. The pair hypothesized that conversations or admissions about Tupac's murder could be found on these devices. Coffindaffer further speculated about the possibility of finding multiple discussions or admissions about the crime, which could prove vital in piecing together the whole story.
Finally, the conversation ventured into the question of whether the murder involved a higher order. Rumors have suggested that someone more powerful within the industry could have orchestrated the crime. "I think it's very possible they are moving up a possible chain," said Coffindaffer, expressing the possibility of finding evidence linking higher-ups to the crime.
However, she also cautioned that securing a conviction based purely on dialogue could be challenging. Despite this, the latest developments in the investigation suggest that there is hope yet for closure in one of hip-hop's most notorious unsolved murders.
