During an Ocean 98 radio interview this week, Tiffany Knupp, mother of Gavin Knupp who was killed in a hit-and-run collision walking across a road last July, reiterated her trust and faith in justice. She said 260 days have passed since her son was killed crossing Grays Corner Road to return to a vehicle driven by his older sister. The vehicle that struck Knupp did not stop at the scene and was later seized by police from a residential garage in West Ocean City. Police have not issued requests for help in locating the suspected motorist because he has been identified. The investigation into possible charges remains ongoing.
“We have all the confidence in our State’s Attorney and even more now. Justice will be served, and we have even more confidence now it will be sooner than later. We are waiting on that,” Tiffany Knupp said on the radio. “Mrs. Heiser has been absolutely amazing. She is completely transparent. Any questions or concerns we have she helps us out with. Basically, she’s just a bad ass. I would not want anyone else on our team. … We have full faith in her and her team.”
Knupp also touched on the recent remarks coming from the Ocean Pines Association about the Do It For Gavin-Justice For Gavin Facebook page and claims of harassment and bullying toward the Ocean Pines Yacht Club, board members, nonprofit organizations in the community and even school children. In a statement, OPA Board President Doug Parks said, among other things, “Talk to your friends, talk to your neighbors and talk to other Association members to let them know these situations are taking place and that this group is promoting a level of disruption to our community that at some point will affect us financially, which in turn will most likely lead to an increase in annual assessments.”
Knupp addressed the statement during the radio interview, saying, “I hope they have good attorneys, and we are going to let our attorney handle the allegations that have been put against us. It’s just kind of pathetic as an Association … they are relentless for coming after us. They are saying the management company for the yacht club is being harmed and we are bullies and basically a gang is what they are insinuating. What it comes down to is our community is just standing together and bonding together and refusing to let criminals run our businesses. Hands down the facts are the facts. My son was hit by a car. That car was in a garage. They knew about it. I don’t understand what other facts need to be said. If you want to support businesses that support that and hide that, go for it. Just don’t contact me. … I am fighting for my son and my daughter right now. We are going to continue to do that, and we are going to continue with the foundation and try to make a positive impact on our local community, not try to destroy it. … Gavin’s story is a community together vs. not ashamed or scared of the big boys or the big boys with the good old boy money. We are not scared of that anymore. It’s a community coming together and making a change and we want to get that story out there.”
There are more questions than answers into a fatal vehicle fire that occurred in Ocean City late Tuesday night.

It is so sad that our country has come to this low level , the criminal is protected and the police are hated .
With all that’s going on from the left , civil war is the only way out . We no longer have the 1st amendment
and they are working on the rest , wake up and lock and load.
If Tiffany Knupp has her full faith in Kristin Heiser then she is in for a rude awakening. Heiser has never been an aggressive prosecutor. Heiser’s saving grace is that she has good Asst. SA’s working for her such as Joaquin Cabrera, Paul Haskell and Jared Monteiro.
