Radiolab · Oliver Sipple · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

And there's just—hold, I just want to read you this one particular passage here.

Have you talked to any other members—this is from George F. Sipple, who is Oliver Sipple's brother.

Have you talked to any other members of your family since September 1975 about Oliver?

I mentioned it once to my father.

Question, and what was his response?

What did he say?

And if you can remember—

I was on afternoons then and I had seen him because I had come in early.

And he mentioned the fact that the next person that even said he had a son named Oliver, he was going to literally break their damn neck.

Whoa.

So his dad was like – this is his brother talking about his dad's reaction?

Brother talking to the dad, yeah.

And then so then the brother says, and he told me quite clearly in two-letter words, just forget you got a brother.

And I let him alone.

Can you tell us the story of the letter?

Well, I wish I would have brought it.

I do have it, but I didn't bring it today.

The same day as that press conference, which was three days after the assassination attempt, Gerald Ford actually did write a letter to Oliver Sipple, which was then released publicly.

It's a nice letter.

It's White House stationery, White House envelope.
