The danger to his life feared by James Boyington turned into grisly reality when he came home from a Caribbean cruise. On Tuesday, Dec. 22, 1992a telephone call came into Floida's Pasco County Sheriff's Office from the police in Clayton County, Georgia, reporting the discovery of a 1986 Chevrolet in a motel parking lot there. The car was registered to James M. Boyington of Zephyrhills, FL, and it might have been involved in a robbery under investigation by the Clayton County police.
Cops found James Boyington body in a closet lying in a fetal position, wrists and ankles bound with gray telephone cord. Tape covered the man's mouth, apparently to keep something in place.
When sleuths zeroed in on the suspects, Clifford Jarvis proved to be the weak link and soon began to spill his guts.
Brian Walter Kipp played assumed role of a guitar-playing rock star to the hilt even while identifying himself to cops as the victim.
Florida's Sock Murder from the pages of the true crime book Murders In The Swampland
...Things were a blur to Green; he could barely make out what was going on. Then he realized that one of the men was threating him with a .45-caliber handgun. Green was unaware of what followed. The last thing he recalled was reomoving his clothing and going to bed. When he woke up, about 6 a.m., the two men had left the room with all his clothing...

...The man using Boyington's identification said that he was a rock star and that Jarvis was his driver-bodyguard. He said Jarvis had been in charge of keeping up with all his identification, but he had somehhow managed to lose his picture I.D. "That's why I have no picture identification," he said. He also declared that he was supposed to play that night with the popular rock group Twisted Sister.
