Real True Detective Solves Roxanne Sharp Cold Case Murder! 4 ARRESTED!

About this episode

The episode discusses the cold case murder of Roxanne Sharp and the recent arrests made decades later.

The body of 16-year-old Roxanne Sharp was found near the Covington Fairgrounds in Louisiana's St Tammany Parish in February 1982. The teen had been violently raped and murdered, her clothing ripped off her body and tossed aside creating a trail through the woods to her broken body. The murder shocked the state, but with little evidence and nobody talking, the case went cold, but not forgotten. Louisiana State Police Investigator Stephan Ferguson reached out to local broadcaster Charles Dowdy and created a podcast to tell Roxanne's story in hopes of getting new information 40 plus years after the murder. It worked. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go back over the evidence from 1982 and explain how investigators were able to arrest four men, DECADES after the murder of Roxanne Sharp.          Transcribe Highlights 00:00.00 Introduction - Louisiana 02:27.24 1982 Rape and Murder of Roxanne Sharp 05:21.08 Dixie Trailriders find body while looking for firewood 10:09.62 Cold Case investigation in 2020 14:52.82 Triangulation of evidence of crime scene  20:08.47 Roxanne's body made a trail to her body 25:05.72 Roxanne's was hit on the bridge of the nose…
