A conservationist, animal welfare advocate, and outspoken opponent of a proposed dolphin park, Jane spent years challenging projects she believed would harm the island’s wildlife and fragile ecosystems. Her activism earned her respect… and, according to those closest to her, it also earned her threats.

On the night she was killed, nothing was stolen. Police ruled out robbery early on. From the beginning, investigators described the attack as targeted.

Nearly twenty years later, Jane’s murder remains unsolved.

In this episode of Cries from the Caribbean, we take a closer look at Jane Tipson’s life, her fight to protect the voiceless, the controversy surrounding her activism, and the unanswered questions that continue to surround her death.

It’s a story about why she lived the way she did…
