About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing mystery surrounding the disappearance of Roxanne Paltauf and the related unsolved murder of Loretta Lynn Roberts.

As Roxanne’s family continued searching Austin’s Rundberg neighborhood, they encountered Loretta Lynn Roberts, a woman who promised to help find Roxanne.
