136: Patricia Weeks & Cynthia Jabour: The Unsolved Mysteries Case of Robert Weeks

About this episode

The episode discusses the unsolved disappearances of Patricia Weeks, Cynthia Jabour, and Carol Ann Riley, all linked to Robert Weeks and highlighting issues of coercive control and violence against women.

Patricia Weeks, Cynthia Jabour, and Carol Ann Riley disappeared years apart after ending relationships with the same man: Robert Weeks, whose case would later be featured on Unsolved Mysteries. In 1979, Patricia Weeks vanished from Las Vegas shortly after divorcing Robert Weeks and gaining custody of their four children. More than a decade later, Arizona real estate agent Cynthia Jabour disappeared after telling friends she planned to leave him as well. Then, in 1986, it happened again. Nurse Carola Ann Riley went missing after trying to end her relationship with Robert. Their cases shared disturbing similarities: planned dinner dates, abandoned vehicles, missing personal belongings, and a man who repeatedly claimed the women had disappeared on their own. Their stories are about coercive control, violence against women, and what it means when justice arrives long after someone is gone. If you have information related to these cases, please contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at (702) 828-2907. 📍 Las Vegas, Nevada | 1968 and 1980 📖 Featuring an original poem written in their honor, read by Ruby Wilde and Melissa Mae, hosts of the Bloody Besties podcast. ➡️ Help…
