Murder Story

On October 13, 1987, Jeffrey Whipps committed the murder of Lisa McCracken, who was a 19-year-old student at Vincennes University. The murder took place in her off-campus apartment. The case remained unsolved for 13 years until DNA testing linked Whipps to the crime scene in 2000.

Whipps was arrested on June 18, 1995, for the murder of 15-year-old Jill Slater, which occurred just a few days earlier on June 17, 1995. He had entered a home where Slater was babysitting and stabbed her in the chest. After killing her, he set the house on fire in two different places.

In 2004, Whipps pleaded guilty to the murder of Lisa McCracken. He was originally facing the death penalty but accepted a plea deal that sentenced him to an additional 40 years in prison. By 1996, he had already been sentenced to 89 years for Jill Slater's murder.

Under the terms of his sentences, Whipps will not be eligible for release until at least 2059, when he will be 90 years old.
