"Now," I continued, "let me hip you to something you might not know. They pulled Debra Snow's naked body out of the Los Angeles Harbor near San Pedro last night. She had a stab wound in her back."
Her eyes inflated, "Is she dead?"
"Well, she certainly wasn't going for a late night swim, Miss Porter."
She brought her hand up to her mouth.
"Now, I've uncovered evidence to suggest the people whose party you went to up in Nichols Canyon are responsible for her death as well as the disappearances and possible deaths of at least four other strippers."

Yeah, it's like jazz slang where if they were going to tell you something they'd say they were going to "hip you to it," or make you hip to something. Hip as being "in the know," I suppose.
