0:06
Speaker 2: Somebody Knows, Scary clues and the disappearance of a gorgeous
0:11
Speaker 2: young daughter just twenty who leaves odd traces behind before
0:17
Speaker 2: she seemingly vanishes from a roadside restaurant. That restaurant also
0:22
Speaker 2: tied to the death of a twenty one year old
0:25
Speaker 2: dad goes searching and finds her car, her wallet, her keys, cash,
0:30
Speaker 2: but no Keyesln Tonight, where is Keyeslyn Roberts. Good evening.
0:36
Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for
0:39
Speaker 2: being with us.
0:40
Speaker 3: I dream about her being home already and as fine dinner,
0:45
Speaker 3: and I'm just holding on to that hope that we
0:48
Speaker 3: can bring her back home safely.
0:49
Speaker 4: Thing.
0:50
Speaker 3: What is this situation that you know is there was
0:53
Speaker 3: one dream that we was waiting to go to a
0:56
Speaker 3: facility to stay here and she's been thanking, and that
1:01
Speaker 3: was going to get to bring her back home. And
1:03
Speaker 3: then there was another one that was just suddenly just
1:05
Speaker 3: out of the believe she was already back homely as
1:07
Speaker 3: this and it was just so good to have her,
1:09
Speaker 3: and I was hugging her and just oh, it was
1:12
Speaker 3: so nice for her to be back home and.
1:14
Speaker 1: Be back by this again. And then I just wake up, and.
1:18
Speaker 3: Then it just seems so real. But then I realized it's.
1:20
Speaker 1: What you are hearing.
1:21
Speaker 2: Kaeslyn's mom, Shannon describing heartbreaking dreams of Keaslin being back
1:29
Speaker 2: home and they're all family again, and they're happy and
1:32
Speaker 2: they're hugging each other, and then she wakes up and
1:36
Speaker 2: it all just vanishes again. Thank you for being with
1:40
Speaker 2: us in our search for Kaeslyn Roberts joining me right
1:44
Speaker 2: now her parents, Eric Roberts and Shannon Roberts.
1:49
Speaker 1: You know, I'm.
1:49
Speaker 2: Thinking back how the whole thing started, and at first
1:56
Speaker 2: the dad, Eric thought her car had just broken down.
2:02
Speaker 1: Listen, not that.
2:03
Speaker 5: Something bad had happened. Maybe her car broke down. So
2:07
Speaker 5: you know, I don't want to the location where I
2:09
Speaker 5: know she was. The thing is is I own a
2:12
Speaker 5: trucking company and I got for her, so I know
2:15
Speaker 5: what goes on in these parking lots. They're not good things,
2:18
Speaker 5: most of them bad.
2:19
Speaker 6: But it's just a cure for her to.
2:21
Speaker 5: Be there at that time.
2:22
Speaker 6: I had no reasoning why she would be at that
2:24
Speaker 6: location for her car be abandoned there.
2:27
Speaker 2: Back to you, Kiesel's parents, Eric and Shannon Roberts, Guys,
2:30
Speaker 2: thank you so much for joining us, because you know,
2:35
Speaker 2: very often we hear about a missing person, we read
2:38
Speaker 2: the statistics, but we don't know about that person. And
2:43
Speaker 2: the more I find out about Keeslin, the more I'm
2:47
Speaker 2: convinced she would never have left her car at that
2:51
Speaker 2: roadside restaurant to be found the way it was Willingly
2:57
Speaker 2: to Eric and Shannon Roberts, What do you recall of
3:02
Speaker 2: the moment you realize, mister Roberts that Keysln had vanished
3:07
Speaker 2: or broken.
3:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, Davis, dating.
3:12
Speaker 1: What happened that day, Miss Roberts, Well.
3:15
Speaker 3: I was at work and ericid went down there and
3:19
Speaker 3: he found her car at the Flying j and he
3:22
Speaker 3: text me and told me about it, and I was like,
3:25
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, what And He's like, I don't know where.
3:27
Speaker 3: He said that we can't find her, you know, And
3:31
Speaker 3: so I was I was trying to text her.
3:34
Speaker 7: And no answer.
3:35
Speaker 3: Her texts were not going through at all. And he
3:41
Speaker 3: was going to follow the mis impression report with the
3:43
Speaker 3: Gordon County and for some odd reason they told him
3:48
Speaker 3: to go to Mury County. So he got with one
3:51
Speaker 3: of the officers and followed the misimpression report and he'd
3:57
Speaker 3: ended up getting her card and bringing it back home.
4:02
Speaker 3: You know, we've waited for days, you know, until we
4:05
Speaker 3: heard something, you know, from the law enforcement to begin,
4:12
Speaker 3: you know, trying to search.
4:14
Speaker 1: For you know too.
4:16
Speaker 2: Jason Jensen, private investigator, cold case expert joining us, co
4:21
Speaker 2: founder of the cold case coalition Jensen Private Investigations. Jason,
4:26
Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. It's called routine evidence.
4:29
Speaker 2: And this reminds me so much of another high profile
4:33
Speaker 2: case of Gabby Petito. I spoken to her parents and
4:37
Speaker 2: they both said she's got the mom and the stepdad,
4:41
Speaker 2: and the dad and the stepmom who united in forced
4:46
Speaker 2: to try to find Gabby Patito.
4:48
Speaker 1: And they were getting very.
4:50
Speaker 2: Odd texts from Gabby that didn't seem like her at all.
4:54
Speaker 2: For instance, it would be as if my son texted
4:57
Speaker 2: me and said, miss Nan Grace, I've arrived at school.
5:02
Speaker 2: That would not be from him. He'd say, Mom, I'm
5:06
Speaker 2: at school, right. They were getting that kind of text
5:09
Speaker 2: and then no text. And that's exactly what we're hearing
5:12
Speaker 2: from Keesland's mom. They text it back and forth all
5:15
Speaker 2: the time, so when Keesland stops texting, they know something
5:20
Speaker 2: is wrong.
5:20
Speaker 8: Jason, You're right, Nancy, that's a bad sign right there.
5:24
Speaker 8: I mean, given the fact that they can't find her,
5:27
Speaker 8: and they can't find her phone, oftentimes there's evidence that's
5:31
Speaker 8: you in that phone of the last persons that they
5:34
Speaker 8: were in contact with, if there was an intended or
5:37
Speaker 8: planned rendezvous or something like that, So that would be
5:41
Speaker 8: a prime piece of evidence that would be a doctor
5:45
Speaker 8: or somebody responsible for her disappearance would want to collect
5:49
Speaker 8: and dispose of. So it's not available as evidence to.
5:52
Speaker 2: Deale Carson joining me, high profile lawyer out of the
5:55
Speaker 2: Jacksonville area, and importantly from me today, former FBI agent,
6:00
Speaker 2: former cop out of Miami Dade, never like a business there,
6:05
Speaker 2: author of arrest proof yourself at del Carsonlaw dot com.
6:09
Speaker 1: Dell.
6:10
Speaker 2: Now, of course a defense attorney would make hey out
6:13
Speaker 2: of this a hunch, a feeling, and then struck up
6:18
Speaker 2: and down in front of a jury real claiming that
6:20
Speaker 2: means nothing. But I guarantee you that any mother or
6:24
Speaker 2: father on a jury when they would hear something like
6:28
Speaker 2: mister and missus Robert say she didn't tax ut back
6:32
Speaker 2: and we just knew something was wrong.
6:36
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think there's.
6:37
Speaker 2: Anything more powerful than a mother's intuition, knowing the child,
6:43
Speaker 2: knowing their ways, their moves.
6:44
Speaker 1: Their modes of communication. What do you think.
6:47
Speaker 9: Well, absolutely, moms and their feelings about particularly chill their children,
6:53
Speaker 9: you know, are very important, not only the jury panels,
6:56
Speaker 9: but to investigators. I can recall a number of occasions
7:00
Speaker 9: when mothers showed up at the FBI office and demanded
7:05
Speaker 9: we take an action, even though in some circumstances we
7:08
Speaker 9: were not under the laws prohibited allowed to do that.
7:12
Speaker 9: But of course the power of a mother often causes
7:16
Speaker 9: a lot of action among investigators. And of course that's
7:20
Speaker 9: what needed to happen here because the FBI has an
7:24
Speaker 9: ability to transit everywhere in the country in an instant today,
7:30
Speaker 9: and searching for a young girl is something that every
7:34
Speaker 9: investigator wants to find for their family and for the
7:39
Speaker 9: notoriety of having found the person.
7:41
Speaker 2: I want to go back to Eric and Shannon Roberts
7:44
Speaker 2: joining us, and they'll be joined by doctor Jory Kraus
7:46
Speaker 2: and psychologist and investigative reporter and journalist Connie Hallscott. To
7:52
Speaker 2: mister and missus Roberts, let me tell you what happened.
7:56
Speaker 2: So this was a couple of years ago when the
7:58
Speaker 2: twins John daven Less my children were in.
8:01
Speaker 1: The fifth grade.
8:03
Speaker 2: We found out we got noticed that their band, they
8:06
Speaker 2: played in the band, Okay, she played a french horn,
8:10
Speaker 2: he played saxophone, had been invited to play at Disney
8:14
Speaker 2: in Florida. And of course I was so proud, you know,
8:17
Speaker 2: my heart nearly burst out of my chest. They were
8:19
Speaker 2: going to get sent down to Disney to play on
8:23
Speaker 2: stage with their band. Well, it was immediately torpedoed by fear.
8:28
Speaker 1: How are they going to get there?
8:29
Speaker 2: We've never been apart before like this, with you in
8:32
Speaker 2: one state and me in a completely different state. And
8:36
Speaker 2: then I said, well, how are y'all going to get
8:38
Speaker 2: down there? And they said, we're going to take a
8:40
Speaker 2: chartered bus. I'm like, that's a really long drive. And
8:43
Speaker 2: they said, well, we're going to stop at several rest
8:47
Speaker 2: stops along the way. And of course I turned to
8:51
Speaker 2: my husband said, over my cold dead body, okay, I
8:55
Speaker 2: follow them, wife, if you want.
8:57
Speaker 1: Now.
8:58
Speaker 2: Remember that's when they were just eleven or twelve years old.
9:01
Speaker 2: I did not want them getting off a bus. And
9:05
Speaker 2: you know, there's fifty children for these chaperons to watch.
9:09
Speaker 1: Wonderful chaperones.
9:11
Speaker 2: I was going to watch them myself at every truck
9:15
Speaker 2: stop where they stop and guess what. They stopped four
9:18
Speaker 2: times along the way, and they would all pour off
9:22
Speaker 2: the bus and go running, running in different directions, some
9:27
Speaker 2: to the bathroom, some to get food, some just running around.
9:31
Speaker 2: You're right, mister Roberts, your daughter goes missing at a
9:36
Speaker 2: roadside restaurant. To put it euphemistically, you said in your
9:43
Speaker 2: comments that you have driven trucks and you know about
9:48
Speaker 2: roadside restaurants.
9:49
Speaker 1: Explain what you meant.
9:51
Speaker 6: I mean things going on there. It's mostly at mine,
9:55
Speaker 6: but that does happen during today. I mean, you got
9:58
Speaker 6: drugs on your door. Love to say, oh you've got
10:01
Speaker 6: prostitution knocking on your door, but you know it's everywhere.
10:10
Speaker 6: It's happened now rest areas, you know, the same thing.
10:14
Speaker 6: So but you know a corporation that it's targeting truck
10:23
Speaker 6: drivers the stuff at their veracity, it should be a
10:25
Speaker 6: slave haven. It should be secured, it should be guarded
10:28
Speaker 6: by guards the area.
10:30
Speaker 2: You know, they've been called rest stops. As a former
10:32
Speaker 2: prosecutor for many, many years, I've always called them a
10:35
Speaker 2: rest stops because everything you can imagine goes down at
10:40
Speaker 2: these as. They are called roadside restaurants. You know, it's
10:45
Speaker 2: interesting how you thought something was off. You know about
10:49
Speaker 2: the texts to Shannon Roberts, this is Kislen's mother, tell
10:53
Speaker 2: me about the texts.
10:55
Speaker 3: She had needed not takes this for a couple of
10:59
Speaker 3: days that actually before all that happened, and so then
11:06
Speaker 3: when he had gotten that long, you know, it was
11:09
Speaker 3: really yeah, that was not like so. I mean she
11:12
Speaker 3: would try to, you know, when she was away from home,
11:15
Speaker 3: kind of text us as often as could because she
11:17
Speaker 3: knew what he would worry.
11:19
Speaker 6: I mean texts both of us. One wouldn't response, would
11:22
Speaker 6: text the other one whether you know she was needing
11:26
Speaker 6: money or gas, money or something. There was never a
11:29
Speaker 6: day I don't think that went by that she wouldn't
11:32
Speaker 6: text one of us.
11:34
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just thinking about what you're saying. Texting
11:38
Speaker 2: you from money. Whenever something would come up, if she
11:43
Speaker 2: couldn't find one of you, she'd text the other. You
11:46
Speaker 2: were virtually between the three of you in constant contact.
11:51
Speaker 2: But then she didn't text, she didn't respond to text.
11:56
Speaker 2: What prompted you, Eric Roberts, because I remember one time
12:00
Speaker 2: we didn't have cell phones at the time. My parents
12:02
Speaker 2: couldn't find me. It's about eleven o'clock at night, and
12:05
Speaker 2: they went looking for me, and amazingly, out of the
12:09
Speaker 2: whole bib County, my dad found me, thank goodness, broken
12:14
Speaker 2: down on the side.
12:15
Speaker 1: Of the road. He found me.
12:17
Speaker 2: I don't know how he did it, but he did.
12:20
Speaker 2: And I've never been so happy. It's when I saw
12:24
Speaker 2: him pull up behind the car. So what prompted you,
12:29
Speaker 2: Eric to go out and physically look for your daughter?
12:33
Speaker 2: Not just just report her missing, not just call her
12:35
Speaker 2: friends and think, okay, she'll turn up. You went out
12:39
Speaker 2: physically looking for your daughter.
12:41
Speaker 1: What prompted you to do that?
12:43
Speaker 6: I went out looking for her. I went to her
12:46
Speaker 6: last known location where I know she was at. Her
12:48
Speaker 6: car was not there. I knocked on the door. The
12:52
Speaker 6: guy says, well, her car's parket's flying j So I
12:56
Speaker 6: immediately go there. I mean, because I don't see any
12:59
Speaker 6: point of her car have just parked there for any
13:03
Speaker 6: reasoning for at all.
13:07
Speaker 10: When Keesln Roberts misses a very important appointment, her father
13:10
Speaker 10: gets a call asking if he knows where she is.
13:13
Speaker 10: He had been texting with her, so he went to
13:15
Speaker 10: where she was staying, but Keesln wasn't home. As he's
13:17
Speaker 10: walking away Keithlyn's boyfriend says, I haven't seen her, but
13:21
Speaker 10: her car is parked at the Flying J truck stop.
13:24
Speaker 10: Mister Roberts immediately knows this is not normal behavior for
13:27
Speaker 10: his daughter, and he heads over to the Flying J
13:29
Speaker 10: truck stop, where he finds her car in the parking
13:31
Speaker 10: lot locked. Mister Roberts immediately calls police his daughter is missing.
13:36
Speaker 10: On January eighteenth, Gordon County Deputies responded to a nine
13:40
Speaker 10: to one one call at the Flying J truck Stop
13:42
Speaker 10: in Resaca concerning a suspicious female. By the time deputies arrived,
13:46
Speaker 10: the suspicious female had already fled the scene. The suspicious
13:49
Speaker 10: female dropped a bag in an area of the store
13:51
Speaker 10: that is restricted for employees only. The bag contained a wallet, money,
13:56
Speaker 10: phone charger, and an identification card for the female who
13:59
Speaker 10: fled the store. Keieslyn Roberts.
14:08
Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, somebody knows. According to those
14:17
Speaker 2: that are searching for Keysln, scary clues left behind in
14:21
Speaker 2: the disappearance of a gorgeous young girl just twenty years old,
14:25
Speaker 2: vanishing from a roadside restaurant. I saw a photo Miss
14:32
Speaker 2: Roberts of Keysln, and it looks like she was a
14:36
Speaker 2: flag girl in school.
14:38
Speaker 7: Yes, she was in color guard.
14:40
Speaker 3: What is that like where they do the formations along
14:45
Speaker 3: with the band when they do their performances.
14:48
Speaker 2: Isn't it true that when the marching band plays at
14:51
Speaker 2: these big football games in that big stadium where she's pictured,
14:55
Speaker 2: the flaggirls go out, they choreograph their own dances and
14:59
Speaker 2: they do dances with flags, sometimes with flames that goes
15:07
Speaker 2: along with what the band is playing.
15:10
Speaker 1: They're the flaggirls, right, yes?
15:12
Speaker 2: And how many hundreds or thousands of people would come
15:17
Speaker 2: to each football game.
15:19
Speaker 3: Oh, tons and tons of people.
15:21
Speaker 11: Yeah, so all of these people would be watching keyslin
15:27
Speaker 11: out on the football field dancing, correct, Yes, okay.
15:32
Speaker 1: Doctor Jory L.
15:33
Speaker 2: Crassen joining US psychologists, former law enforcement now faculty Saint
15:37
Speaker 2: Leo University, consultant with Blue Wall Institute. Doctor Jory, you know,
15:43
Speaker 2: this is almost like looking for a nil and haystack,
15:46
Speaker 2: because you don't have just your team, and she did
15:50
Speaker 2: this for several years in a row. You don't just
15:53
Speaker 2: have your team thousands of people that show up to
15:56
Speaker 2: watch their football team, but thousands of people come to
16:01
Speaker 2: the games from the other side. Then you've just got
16:05
Speaker 2: observers that are not affiliated with either side. Thousands of
16:10
Speaker 2: people see Kaslin out on the field dancing.
16:14
Speaker 7: That's an ideal stalking ground.
16:19
Speaker 12: We've had other cases across the country where that's been
16:23
Speaker 12: the baseline where the person is observed and basically you'll
16:28
Speaker 12: say targeted. So that would be a good investigative point.
16:32
Speaker 12: I know there's hundreds of people there, but there's a
16:36
Speaker 12: lot of clues there.
16:37
Speaker 6: Also, we're leaving the car.
16:40
Speaker 3: That's unusual.
16:41
Speaker 12: My parents were saying, there's just a lot of unanswered
16:46
Speaker 12: questions here that the family still has, you know, I
16:51
Speaker 12: know they're looking for some kind of response as to
16:54
Speaker 12: you know, what happened, how it happened, and then might
16:56
Speaker 12: happened now.
16:57
Speaker 1: This is unusual.
16:59
Speaker 2: Clues that are obtained by the way her car is
17:03
Speaker 2: parked listen.
17:05
Speaker 10: Keithlyn's father, Eric Roberts, told investigators that while he sent
17:08
Speaker 10: his daughter the money she requested, he had not heard
17:11
Speaker 10: back from her in four or five days. Keithlyn's boyfriend
17:14
Speaker 10: said he had not seen Keithlind for a few days.
17:16
Speaker 10: Mister Roberts indicated that his daughter did not normally leave
17:19
Speaker 10: her vehicle the way she did, and that he thought
17:21
Speaker 10: Keithlin may be in danger.
17:23
Speaker 2: Caesa wented about fifteen minutes away from her parents, but
17:27
Speaker 2: the way her car was parked sets off alarms in
17:32
Speaker 2: her dad's mind. Eric, what was unusual about the way
17:36
Speaker 2: you found her vehicle?
17:37
Speaker 6: Ninety nine percent of people cannot park straight, including everybody,
17:42
Speaker 6: But her car was vertically straight with the lines in
17:47
Speaker 6: the parking lot where it's parked at it back then.
17:51
Speaker 6: I've never known her to back her.
17:52
Speaker 3: Car in nowhere.
17:54
Speaker 6: Her seat was not set for her hat, and it
17:59
Speaker 6: was just very odd too.
18:00
Speaker 2: Jason Genzy joining me, private eye cold case expert at
18:04
Speaker 2: Cold Case Coalition. Jason, you're a private investigator, but I
18:08
Speaker 2: would argue it doesn't take a PI to know that
18:12
Speaker 2: when people back the car in very often, if it's nefarious,
18:16
Speaker 2: it's because they don't want you to be able to
18:18
Speaker 2: see that tag. In this jurisdiction, vehicles don't have to
18:22
Speaker 2: have a front tag license plate and a backtag license plate,
18:26
Speaker 2: only a backtag license plate, So by backing in Batman style,
18:32
Speaker 2: nobody can identify the tagplate.
18:35
Speaker 1: Right.
18:36
Speaker 2: Also, not only that, the fact that she never did
18:42
Speaker 2: back in that way, that is again routine evidence evidence
18:47
Speaker 2: of her routine and I don't know if this name
18:49
Speaker 2: is going to ring a bell to you or not.
18:51
Speaker 2: Jason Jensen Tara Grinstead who went missing and was murdered
18:56
Speaker 2: not far from this location. When I went to the
19:01
Speaker 2: home with her mother, we looked in the car and
19:05
Speaker 2: her seat, Tara's seat of her car, which she always
19:09
Speaker 2: kept completely pristine. You know, those people in the car
19:12
Speaker 2: still smells new.
19:14
Speaker 1: Her car was backed up for.
19:15
Speaker 2: Somebody that would be six one or six y two,
19:18
Speaker 2: and she Tara always had the seat all the way
19:23
Speaker 2: up front. She was very petite, and her car was
19:28
Speaker 2: covered in mud. It didn't take a PI to tell
19:33
Speaker 2: me the last person that drove that car was not
19:35
Speaker 2: Tara Grinstead.
19:36
Speaker 8: You're right, that's all the signs indicating that somebody else
19:40
Speaker 8: drove her car and dumped it there. You know, it
19:42
Speaker 8: was staged there and parked in such a way that
19:46
Speaker 8: would delay the discovery of her car. Now for somebody
19:51
Speaker 8: else to point it out to Eric that his daughter's
19:55
Speaker 8: car was out, the flying Jay is unique evidence of
19:59
Speaker 8: its own and it's like, how did you know? But
20:01
Speaker 8: it was nice enough that it was said so that
20:04
Speaker 8: Eric could go find it. And at that point in
20:08
Speaker 8: my past experience, I have taken DNA samples of the
20:13
Speaker 8: door handle, of the steering well and in this case
20:17
Speaker 8: where the seat is set back of the controls for
20:20
Speaker 8: that to see whose DNA profile would last be the
20:24
Speaker 8: one using the car. And unfortunately, when law enforcement are
20:29
Speaker 8: the first responders there when they released the car to
20:31
Speaker 8: a family member, such evidence can be destroyed.
20:35
Speaker 2: Where is Keaesland Roberts. Trust me, somebody knows? Joining me
20:39
Speaker 2: an all star palent, including Keiesln's parents, begging for your
20:43
Speaker 2: help if you know or think you know anything about
20:47
Speaker 2: the disappearance of this young girl, Keaesln Roberts now seven
20:52
Speaker 2: zero six six 't four fourteen twenty four or seven

21:04
Speaker 2: addition to Keysley's parents joining us right now. Connie hall Scott,
21:09
Speaker 2: investigative reporter host North Georgia Television wd nntv's Taught with Connie.
21:15
Speaker 1: Connie, thank you for being with us. What can you
21:17
Speaker 1: tell me about this roadside restaurant?
21:20
Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you that it is it's you know,
21:23
Speaker 4: first of all, it's not well lived outside and they
21:25
Speaker 4: do not have proper cameras outside.
21:29
Speaker 7: You know, and bad things happen there.
21:32
Speaker 4: As Eric said, it's a place where drugs and prostitution
21:36
Speaker 4: and who knows what is going on.
21:38
Speaker 2: What, if anything, can you tell me about a twenty
21:42
Speaker 2: one year old that goes missing there. Caleb Smith goes
21:47
Speaker 2: missing there just days before Kyslan is last seen.
21:52
Speaker 4: I think that there are so many similarities. Number One,
21:56
Speaker 4: the two both resided in Murray County. The two both
22:00
Speaker 4: were last seen at the Flying J two days apart.
22:04
Speaker 7: They go missing.
22:05
Speaker 4: Caleb first, and also his car was backed in five
22:09
Speaker 4: spaces from where Keithlin's would be backed in. Both cars
22:13
Speaker 4: had their personal belongings inside the car, and I believe
22:17
Speaker 4: in the dashboard money, things like that were left behind,
22:22
Speaker 4: not a cell phone in Keislin's case, it was never found.
22:25
Speaker 7: Also about Caleb, he was found in February.
22:28
Speaker 4: He was naked and his clothes were never found. He
22:33
Speaker 4: was found in a Marshy area, I believe, about five
22:35
Speaker 4: miles from the Flying J. I have talked to all
22:39
Speaker 4: law enforcement involved, and everyone said that there's no there's
22:45
Speaker 4: no connection. Maybe there's not, but that sure is coincidentally,
22:49
Speaker 4: isn't it? And two days apart, Well, let's get real.
22:51
Speaker 1: Jason justin joining me.
22:54
Speaker 2: Renowned cold case expert and deal Carson, high profile lawyer.
22:59
Speaker 2: First he Jason a coincidence his car he goes missing
23:05
Speaker 2: back in January. His car is found in a marshy
23:10
Speaker 2: area which is kind of earth and kind of water,
23:17
Speaker 2: very very difficult for dogs to track back in there,
23:22
Speaker 2: so his body is found without clothing. Weeks after he
23:27
Speaker 2: goes disappearing at the Flying Jay roadside restaurant, and then
23:32
Speaker 2: shortly thereafter, Keisley goes missing same restaurant, her car parked
23:39
Speaker 2: five spaces away from where Calubs was parked.
23:43
Speaker 1: That's too much of a coincidence for me.
23:45
Speaker 8: I agree with you on that one, Nancy. The coincidences
23:49
Speaker 8: are really strange. That in such a close parameter of time,
23:55
Speaker 8: two victims meeting the same fate is really uncanny. So
24:00
Speaker 8: there may not be a connection between Caleb and in
24:04
Speaker 8: Keysland as far as they know each other, but there
24:07
Speaker 8: must be something common between there. You know the perpetrator
24:10
Speaker 8: responsible for these two disappearing.
24:13
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, mister and missus Roberts.
24:16
Speaker 2: Was Keesln seen alive at the Flying Jay?
24:21
Speaker 8: Yes?
24:21
Speaker 1: Yes he is inside?
24:24
Speaker 6: Yes inside?
24:25
Speaker 1: Is there Surville's video of her inside?
24:28
Speaker 6: We've never seen them, they say, there is when it
24:36
Speaker 6: first happened things went on with Mary Kenny was a
24:43
Speaker 6: detective that was on her case at that time, but
24:47
Speaker 6: never did get a copy of the video that people
24:50
Speaker 6: say that she was seen on the camera coming inside
24:54
Speaker 6: the store. Now, whether that was the time that she
24:57
Speaker 6: panically left the store, we don't know.
25:00
Speaker 1: Did you say she panicked and left.
25:02
Speaker 6: When she was confronted by the manager in the area
25:07
Speaker 6: that she that was for employees only. She you know,
25:10
Speaker 6: when she was confronted, she dropped her back and left
25:14
Speaker 6: out the back door.
25:15
Speaker 2: So the only thing that she had done wrong in quotes,
25:21
Speaker 2: she went in the employees only area.
25:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, she was hunched down what the manager says, she
25:26
Speaker 6: was hunched down behind a table or some sort of equipment.
25:31
Speaker 1: I wonder why she was tounched down like she was hiding.
25:33
Speaker 6: Yes, she was scared of running from somebody.
25:36
Speaker 2: And was kileb who also went missing at the Flying
25:40
Speaker 2: Jay was he spotted inside as well his camp his.
25:45
Speaker 6: Camera feeds coming from the Dennis cameras, which Denny's ass
25:49
Speaker 6: cameras inside the restaurant. He was captured on their cameras
25:54
Speaker 6: talking to one guy in particularly back and forth for
25:57
Speaker 6: a few minutes, you know, So they've got fitted to
26:01
Speaker 6: that of course Bordon County kiss case and not my
26:06
Speaker 6: dollar's case, so you know, red flags raised up in
26:09
Speaker 6: that county. Me The only cameras they've got is there
26:13
Speaker 6: were the feel pumps. They have none where she is
26:16
Speaker 6: running out the back of the entrance where the truckers
26:18
Speaker 6: come in that direction. There was no cameras in that
26:21
Speaker 6: parking lot for the customer's parking lot or the trucker's
26:25
Speaker 6: parking lot. No lighting at that time within the trucker
26:29
Speaker 6: parking lot, so it's completely dark out there.
26:32
Speaker 2: Where is Keisan Roberts? How can this beautiful twenty year
26:36
Speaker 2: old girl just vanish outside a roadside restaurant, the Flying Jay?
26:41
Speaker 1: This very shortly.
26:43
Speaker 2: After another twenty one year old goes missing there. Both
26:48
Speaker 2: of their cars back parked batman style, so their front tags,
26:53
Speaker 2: their tags to their car won't show very unlike both
26:57
Speaker 2: of them and they're never seen alive again.
27:00
Speaker 1: Where is Keislin?
27:02
Speaker 2: There is a fifty thousand dollars reward five zero fifty
27:08
Speaker 2: thousand dollars reward for information leading to the whereabouts of
27:13
Speaker 2: Keys and Roberts her family in torture Tip Line seven
27:18
Speaker 2: zero six six two four fourteen twenty four seven zero
27:22
Speaker 2: six six ninety five four five nine two Back to
27:26
Speaker 2: Connie Hall Scott, investigative journalist and joining us from WD
27:31
Speaker 2: and N.
27:32
Speaker 1: Connie.
27:33
Speaker 2: The fact that she was hiding in the employees kitchen area.
27:39
Speaker 2: When we hear she got into a confrontation, A lot
27:41
Speaker 2: of people think, oh, she got in.
27:43
Speaker 1: A fight, she shotlifted.
27:44
Speaker 2: No, all she did was she went and she was
27:48
Speaker 2: hunching down and hiding behind a piece of furniture in
27:52
Speaker 2: the employee's kitchen. She didn't take anything, she didn't cause
27:56
Speaker 2: a ruckus, She wasn't drunk, she wasn't on drugs.
27:59
Speaker 1: Nothing like that. She went and hid in the employees kitchen.
28:04
Speaker 1: What do you make of that?
28:05
Speaker 4: Well, I think she knew she was already in danger,
28:08
Speaker 4: whatever had happened prior to that, it wouldn't be usual
28:12
Speaker 4: for her to go. And how I went there and looked,
28:14
Speaker 4: and I actually kind of peeked in in that area,
28:18
Speaker 4: and it would be a good place to hide.
28:21
Speaker 2: I'm also curious about potential phone evidence. Take a listen,
28:27
Speaker 2: Eric or Shannon Shannon, was her cell phone also in
28:31
Speaker 2: the car?
28:32
Speaker 3: No, that's one thing that we've not been able to find.
28:34
Speaker 2: Well, do you know if the police have tried to
28:37
Speaker 2: triangulate where it was last ye used?
28:39
Speaker 5: No, why that time passed to you know?
28:46
Speaker 1: Wait?
28:46
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait, I don't care if try it
28:48
Speaker 2: passed law enforcement too.
28:49
Speaker 5: They don't have enough evidence to get a warrant, to
28:52
Speaker 5: get a sign off to get it sent to her
28:55
Speaker 5: sellar phone.
28:56
Speaker 1: Network company technical legal term that is b joining me.
29:01
Speaker 2: Former fed with the FBI nine, now high profile lawyer.
29:05
Speaker 1: Out of Jacksonville, Dale Carson.
29:08
Speaker 2: How can any l E law enforcement say with a
29:11
Speaker 2: straight face, we don't have any evidence of wrongdoing? Her ID,
29:17
Speaker 2: her debit card, her wallet, her money, all of that
29:21
Speaker 2: left in the car, everything.
29:24
Speaker 1: The only thing missing her cell phone.
29:26
Speaker 2: You want to tell me a young girl her age
29:29
Speaker 2: is going to leave behind her prized possession, her car
29:32
Speaker 2: and completely cut off contact with parents that she takes
29:36
Speaker 2: it back and forth with every day, multiple times. I
29:40
Speaker 2: mean even when she moved out, she only moved fifteen
29:43
Speaker 2: minutes away from home. Okay, there's wrongdoing. I don't know
29:49
Speaker 2: what it is yet, but why not get the cell phone?
29:52
Speaker 1: Wreckers Dale Carson.
29:54
Speaker 9: Well, it's certainly sufficient for an affidavit for a search warrant,
29:58
Speaker 9: so I don't understand that either. And the sooner that's done,
30:01
Speaker 9: the better off we are, because that will help us
30:04
Speaker 9: know whether, as you say, where the last communication was.
30:09
Speaker 9: If it was at the Flying Jay, then that's important.
30:13
Speaker 9: If it wasn't, that's important as well. And another point,
30:18
Speaker 9: you know, truck drivers, the Bureau was always concerned that
30:23
Speaker 9: serial killers could be involved with driving trucks all over
30:29
Speaker 9: the country, making them doubly difficult to locate and isolate.
30:34
Speaker 9: And that's one of the reasons that VISCAP was established
30:38
Speaker 9: to determine whether or not individuals throughout the country had
30:43
Speaker 9: similar methods of operation MS when it came to homicide.
30:54
Speaker 2: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, this is an appeal to
31:03
Speaker 2: all the truckers across our country. Please help your fellow
31:09
Speaker 2: trucker find his daughter. Twenty year old keys and Roberts
31:15
Speaker 2: goes missing at the Flying j roadstop, Murray County. It's
31:22
Speaker 2: exit number three two zero, Resaca, Georgia, three twenty No
31:30
Speaker 2: one has seen keysland since. Again, truckers across our country,
31:36
Speaker 2: help us find the.
31:37
Speaker 1: Daughter of your fellow trucker.
31:41
Speaker 2: The tip line seven zero six six two four fourteen
31:45
Speaker 2: twenty four seven zero, six six nine five four five
31:50
Speaker 2: ninety two. There is a fifty thousand dollars reward, but.
31:55
Speaker 1: We've got one person this.
31:56
Speaker 3: She gave her a rid one day and it was
31:58
Speaker 3: after she went like the week after.
32:01
Speaker 1: Do you believe her?
32:03
Speaker 3: I hesitate because.
32:05
Speaker 5: You know it's been so long. But there again she's
32:07
Speaker 5: saying details about other stuff that Keison told her that.
32:11
Speaker 1: That seems real.
32:13
Speaker 2: Yes, was there a siding of Keeslin about a week
32:16
Speaker 2: after she is last seen, joining me her parents along
32:20
Speaker 2: with an all star panel. You know, we just went
32:23
Speaker 2: through this with a missing boy, Sebastian Rogers, and there
32:29
Speaker 2: was a sighting at a rest stop up in the
32:32
Speaker 2: Blue Ridge Mountains, and the little boy that was spotted
32:37
Speaker 2: at the rest stop looks so much like Sebastian Rogers.
32:44
Speaker 2: Even his own father, his own biological father, thinks that
32:49
Speaker 2: boy is Sebastian. Now law enforcement tells us they've tracked
32:53
Speaker 2: down the boy's mom. It's not Sebastian. Back to Keyesln,
32:59
Speaker 2: Roberts to her parents joining us, Eric and Shannon Roberts, Shannon,
33:03
Speaker 2: what can you tell me about this alleged sighting about
33:07
Speaker 2: a week after Keesln goes missing?
33:09
Speaker 3: Well, she said that this lady had said that she
33:16
Speaker 3: got a phone call from the guy that was with
33:19
Speaker 3: Keieslin that she says that was with Keeslin and he
33:24
Speaker 3: wanted a ride. So she goes over there and she
33:28
Speaker 3: gives him a ride. They wanted to get away from
33:30
Speaker 3: the place where they were at for a little bit,
33:34
Speaker 3: and then she said that they didn't have anywhere to go,
33:40
Speaker 3: and so she took them over to her mom's house
33:43
Speaker 3: and her mom says that they could stayed there for
33:45
Speaker 3: the night. Well, she said that this girl that she
33:48
Speaker 3: says that you know it was Keithlin. She said that
33:53
Speaker 3: she was talking about that she couldn't you know, she
33:57
Speaker 3: was didn't really she couldn't go home to us, that
34:01
Speaker 3: she knew that we was worried about her. She said
34:03
Speaker 3: something about that she even wanted a ride to the
34:06
Speaker 3: Flying Jay to get her car. And it was just
34:09
Speaker 3: really bizarre. But and she told she said the girl
34:15
Speaker 3: that she thought was Keithlyin, she says to her, she
34:18
Speaker 3: said that she told her, she said, I'm not really
34:20
Speaker 3: quite sure if I can be able to take you
34:22
Speaker 3: to get your car, but she said, I'll just have
34:26
Speaker 3: to let you know. And then of course her mom
34:28
Speaker 3: ended up breaking This lady's mom ended up breaking her foot,
34:32
Speaker 3: so she wasn't able to, you know, to take her,
34:37
Speaker 3: she said, And she said she had never seen her again.
34:39
Speaker 2: Do you believe her either, mister or missus Roberts. Do
34:43
Speaker 2: you believe this witness actually gave Keithlin a ride? Or
34:47
Speaker 2: is she confused about her date or confused in general?
34:50
Speaker 3: Well?
34:51
Speaker 7: I think I did believe her.
34:53
Speaker 3: I mean, from what she said about some things and stuff,
34:59
Speaker 3: it just seemed like it was Keithlin, you know, the
35:02
Speaker 3: way she was talking.
35:03
Speaker 2: What about it, mister Roberts, do you believe she actually
35:06
Speaker 2: saw Keeeslin after?
35:07
Speaker 6: I mean, there's another girl out there that's you know,
35:11
Speaker 6: it's a little bit shorter, a little bit heavier, but
35:13
Speaker 6: resembles you know, her that the law is familiar with.
35:18
Speaker 6: So was this person that picked her up, you know,
35:23
Speaker 6: under the influence and thought it was her or.
35:26
Speaker 1: Even just wrong about the date?
35:28
Speaker 9: Yeah?
35:29
Speaker 2: Is it true mister and missus Roberts that you have
35:32
Speaker 2: not been able to get answers recently from the GBI.
35:38
Speaker 1: What can you tell me?
35:39
Speaker 6: They're very they want to get aggressive to this case.
35:41
Speaker 6: They understand where we're coming from. Uh, and we've been
35:44
Speaker 6: in contact with them several times. Both of them had
35:47
Speaker 6: met me several times since both of them have stick
35:50
Speaker 6: over the case. So I think something might be turning
35:54
Speaker 6: around with the new GBI and Mry Kenn.
35:58
Speaker 2: Connie Hall Scott. Where does the taste stand now?
36:01
Speaker 7: That's really hard to say.
36:04
Speaker 4: I personally feel a lot of passing the buck has
36:07
Speaker 4: went on with law enforcement, especially in the past. Is
36:10
Speaker 4: it Murray County, is it Gordon County? Now it's mostly
36:13
Speaker 4: GBI with Murray County assisting. I do not feel like
36:18
Speaker 4: it has been taken as seriously as it should have been.
36:22
Speaker 4: I don't think that I feel like they dropped the
36:25
Speaker 4: ball by not checking the car out, by not tracing
36:28
Speaker 4: her cell phone, and also by not reaching out or
36:32
Speaker 4: responding to the parents as quickly as they should. I
36:36
Speaker 4: think that there's three possibilities. Either she walked away from
36:39
Speaker 4: her life, never contacting anyone she knows, including her family
36:43
Speaker 4: who she was close to, and also depended on for funds,
36:46
Speaker 4: which is kind of shocking that no crime seems to
36:49
Speaker 4: have been committed. Number two, there was foul play by
36:53
Speaker 4: someone she does know. Or three maybe stranger abduction. And
36:58
Speaker 4: I think it's really important that everybody works together to
37:02
Speaker 4: find out where she is and what happened. And as
37:05
Speaker 4: you said, somebody knows where she is and what happened
37:08
Speaker 4: to Eric.
37:09
Speaker 2: And Shannon Roberts Keiselen's parents. What is your message today.
37:13
Speaker 3: Oh, we just want the truth. We want answers. We
37:23
Speaker 3: hear a lot of dreamers and stuff, and then it
37:25
Speaker 3: changes from one moment to the next between people and
37:30
Speaker 3: places and scenarios, and it's just gotten so overwhelming. I mean,
37:35
Speaker 3: we just we want the real truths and we want
37:38
Speaker 3: to be able to find our keyslind to bring her home.
37:41
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm holding on for a miracle no
37:46
Speaker 3: matter all the things we hear.
37:48
Speaker 2: It's Roberts, what has your life been like since your
37:51
Speaker 2: daughter disappeared?
37:54
Speaker 3: Gosh, just a total night mayor I mean home and
38:01
Speaker 3: not knowing where she's at, if she's okay, if she's hurting,
38:06
Speaker 3: if it's just indescribable. We spent every week and moment
38:13
Speaker 3: trying to find her, to do everything that we can
38:16
Speaker 3: to just a piece, any pieces together, to find anything
38:21
Speaker 3: that could put us on the right track.
38:23
Speaker 2: Let me remind everyone there is a fifty thousand dollar
38:27
Speaker 2: reward for information related to the location of this girl,
38:32
