0:32
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into today's store.
0:46
Speaker 1: On the far west side of Ohio lies a small
0:48
Speaker 1: town called Wiltshire. In nineteen eighty nine, there were less
0:51
Speaker 1: than six hundred people that called this place their home,
0:54
Speaker 1: and virtually all of them were middle class Americans. Most
0:57
Speaker 1: of them were farmers or factory workers, or they worked
1:00
Speaker 1: in one of the very few small businesses in town.
1:02
Speaker 1: While Wiltshire was certainly not the most exciting place to live,
1:06
Speaker 1: it did have a reputation for being a nice place
1:08
Speaker 1: to raise a family. It was a type community of
1:10
Speaker 1: people that looked out for one another. One family that
1:13
Speaker 1: was part of the Wilshire community in nineteen eighty nine
1:16
Speaker 1: was the Rogers family.
1:17
Speaker 2: They consisted of the parents Hal and Joan.
1:19
Speaker 1: Joan went by Joe, and they were both thirty six
1:22
Speaker 1: years old and they had two daughters, Michelle who was
1:24
Speaker 1: seventeen and Christy who was fourteen.
1:26
Speaker 2: Hall and Joe had met in high school.
1:28
Speaker 1: Joe was very outgoing and popular and Hall was reserved
1:32
Speaker 1: and quiet, but despite their extreme differences, they actually complimented
1:36
Speaker 1: each other very nicely and they seemed to bring out
1:38
Speaker 1: the best.
1:38
Speaker 2: In the other.
1:39
Speaker 1: By their senior year, Joe had become pregnant with Michelle,
1:42
Speaker 1: and so after graduation, the teen couple got married and
1:45
Speaker 1: they moved into a dairy farm to start their life together.
1:47
Speaker 1: And a few years after that, Christy was born and
1:50
Speaker 1: their family was complete. Over the years, Hall and Joe
1:53
Speaker 1: worked extremely hard on their farm, but.
1:55
Speaker 2: It just wasn't enough to pay the bills.
1:57
Speaker 1: So to make ends meet, Joe had to get a
1:59
Speaker 1: second job, working nights at a factory where she drove
2:02
Speaker 1: a forklift and worked the assembly line. While life was
2:05
Speaker 1: certainly not very easy for the Rogers family, they always
2:08
Speaker 1: found a way to stay.
2:09
Speaker 2: Positive and upbeat.
2:11
Speaker 1: The girls were very popular in school and made friends easily,
2:14
Speaker 1: and when they were home they were always gooping around
2:16
Speaker 1: with the farm animals that they loved. As for the parents,
2:18
Speaker 1: they always carved out time every week where just the
2:21
Speaker 1: two of them could sneak off and get breakfast or
2:23
Speaker 1: dinner together. But their simple, happy way of life would
2:26
Speaker 1: be shattered later that year when it was discovered that
2:29
Speaker 1: Hal's brother, John, who actually lived with them in a
2:32
Speaker 1: trailer on their farm property, had secretly been assaulting Michelle
2:35
Speaker 1: for the past three years. Michelle hadn't told anyone because
2:38
Speaker 1: John had threatened to kill her, but when inappropriate pictures
2:41
Speaker 1: of her turned up inside of his trailer, his horrible
2:44
Speaker 1: secret was out. John went to jail for a very
2:47
Speaker 1: long time, but the damage he left behind was unbelievable.
2:51
Speaker 1: Michelle couldn't even talk about what happened to her. Meanwhile, Hal,
2:54
Speaker 1: her father, was just beside himself. He could not believe
2:57
Speaker 1: that right under his nose someone was hard his daughter,
3:01
Speaker 1: and that it was his own brother doing it. He
3:03
Speaker 1: wanted to kill his brother, but his brother was in custody,
3:06
Speaker 1: so he couldn't, and making this situation even more painful,
3:10
Speaker 1: Hal and John's mother wound up siding with John. She
3:14
Speaker 1: believed Michelle was lying and it set John up and
3:17
Speaker 1: she began saying this publicly and it spread all throughout town.
3:21
Speaker 1: It was just an absolute tragedy through and through, and
3:24
Speaker 1: Hal and Joe had no idea how they were going
3:26
Speaker 1: to recover from it. That's when the idea of a
3:29
Speaker 1: vacation came up. Take the kids away from this farm,
3:32
Speaker 1: away from this drama, Let them be kids again, Let
3:35
Speaker 1: them be stress free, even for a couple of days.
3:37
Speaker 2: It will do them an enormous amount of good.
3:39
Speaker 1: And so Hal decided he would actually stay back at
3:41
Speaker 1: the farm and just Joe and the girls would go.
3:44
Speaker 2: It would be a girl's trip.
3:45
Speaker 1: When Joe told her daughters, they were ecstatic. They had
3:48
Speaker 1: never been on a vacation before, and in fact, neither
3:50
Speaker 1: had Joe. Joe told the girls that they needed to
3:52
Speaker 1: plan out this trip. Pick the place they wanted to go,
3:55
Speaker 1: plan out the itinerary, but keep in mind they had
3:58
Speaker 1: to drive wherever. This vacation was going to be and
4:00
Speaker 1: their budget was going to be fairly tight. The girls
4:02
Speaker 1: decided on Florida, and for weeks they meticulously planned their itinerary,
4:07
Speaker 1: trying to maximize sight seeing opportunities both on the road
4:10
Speaker 1: trip and also at their destination. Finally, on May twenty sixth,
4:14
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine, the day had come for the.
4:16
Speaker 2: Girls to head out on their journey.
4:18
Speaker 1: They said bye to Hal and then they loaded up
4:20
Speaker 1: into the light blue Family Sedan and they were on
4:22
Speaker 1: their way. The trio drove south for about eight hours
4:25
Speaker 1: on I seventy five through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee all the
4:28
Speaker 1: way to Georgia, which was their halfway point. They found
4:31
Speaker 1: a motel that crashed there for the night, and then
4:33
Speaker 1: the next morning they got up early and they finished
4:35
Speaker 1: their trip all the way into Florida, and for the
4:37
Speaker 1: next couple of days they followed their itinerary and went
4:40
Speaker 1: to amusement parks and zoos and other attractions all over
4:43
Speaker 1: the Sunshine State. They were really having a great time.
4:45
Speaker 1: In fact, on May twenty ninth, Joe sent a post
4:48
Speaker 1: guard to Hell that she kind of jokingly said, the
4:51
Speaker 1: girls are dragging me all over the state. All I
4:53
Speaker 1: want to do is relax, but the tone of the
4:55
Speaker 1: message was really that she and her kids were having
4:57
Speaker 1: a wonderful time. On June first, the girls love Orlando, Florida,
5:01
Speaker 1: and made their way to Tampa, Florida, where they planned
5:03
Speaker 1: to go to one more amusement park before they had
5:05
Speaker 1: to turn around and head back to Ohio.
5:07
Speaker 2: Hal had been told they would be back.
5:09
Speaker 1: On June third, But when June third came and went
5:12
Speaker 1: and the girls did not show up in Ohio, Hall
5:15
Speaker 1: was not immediately concerned.
5:16
Speaker 2: Hall was very restrained and composed.
5:19
Speaker 1: He almost never showed any emotion, so when things didn't
5:21
Speaker 1: go to plan, he didn't panic. He just assumed that
5:24
Speaker 1: Joe and the girls had decided to stay a little
5:26
Speaker 1: bit longer. They had each other and they would be fine,
5:29
Speaker 1: and he would see them in a couple of days.
5:30
Speaker 1: But over the next couple of days, the girls did
5:33
Speaker 1: not show up and they never communicated with Hal, and
5:36
Speaker 1: so on June sixth, Hal went to the police.
5:38
Speaker 2: And he reported his family missing.
5:39
Speaker 1: The police investigation was slow at first because there was
5:42
Speaker 1: a general belief that these women had decided to just
5:45
Speaker 1: stay out longer because they didn't want to come back
5:48
Speaker 1: to this dairy farm that now was home to a
5:50
Speaker 1: lot of terrible memories after this revelation about their uncle.
5:53
Speaker 1: But two days after Hal went to police.
5:56
Speaker 2: Everything changed.
5:57
Speaker 1: That morning, a motel made in Tampa, Florida noticed something
6:00
Speaker 1: odd about room two fifty one. She had cleaned it
6:03
Speaker 1: earlier in the week and had made the beds and
6:05
Speaker 1: put the towels up and moved the occupant's luggage onto
6:08
Speaker 1: chairs and tables so it was nice and neat, And
6:10
Speaker 1: now she was coming back to clean it about a
6:12
Speaker 1: week later, and the room still looked exactly.
6:15
Speaker 2: The way it did when she had cleaned it.
6:17
Speaker 1: The beds were still made, the towels hadn't been touched,
6:19
Speaker 1: and the luggage was positioned around the room just as
6:22
Speaker 1: she had set it up. So she tells her manager,
6:24
Speaker 1: who thought it was strange enough that he called the
6:26
Speaker 1: police and told them about it.
6:28
Speaker 2: The police in.
6:28
Speaker 1: Tampa went out to this motel and they discovered that
6:31
Speaker 1: room two fifty one was registered to missing people Joan
6:35
Speaker 1: Rogers and her two daughters, Michelle and Christy. The motel
6:38
Speaker 1: manager told police that the trio had checked in on
6:41
Speaker 1: June first.
6:42
Speaker 2: But after that no one had seen them.
6:44
Speaker 1: The police searched their room and they found their camera
6:47
Speaker 1: and the final two pictures that had been taken were
6:49
Speaker 1: taken inside this motel room. One was of Michelle crouching
6:53
Speaker 1: down rummaging through her suitcase, looking like she's getting ready
6:56
Speaker 1: to go out somewhere, and the other was taken from
6:58
Speaker 1: inside their room, looking out over their balcony out towards
7:01
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay as the sun was beginning to set. The
7:04
Speaker 1: rest of the search of the room did not turn
7:06
Speaker 1: up any significant evidence. All they knew was the women
7:08
Speaker 1: were not there, and so using the motel as a
7:11
Speaker 1: center point, they began searching the area and pretty quickly
7:14
Speaker 1: they found Joe's car parked a mile away from the
7:17
Speaker 1: motel near a public boat ramp. Joe and her daughters
7:20
Speaker 1: were nowhere to be found, and initially there was nothing
7:23
Speaker 1: inside or outside the car to indicate where they might
7:26
Speaker 1: have gone, but upon closer inspection, they found two brochures
7:29
Speaker 1: sitting on the floor of the car, and on each
7:31
Speaker 1: of them was some handwriting. The first brochure had a
7:34
Speaker 1: note that was clearly written by Joe, and it was
7:37
Speaker 1: directions to the boat ramp where the car was parked.
7:39
Speaker 1: On the other brochure, the other note, the handwriting was
7:43
Speaker 1: not Joe's or her daughter's. It was some other person's handwriting,
7:46
Speaker 1: and that one was directions to the motel.
7:48
Speaker 2: Where Joe and her daughters were staying.
7:50
Speaker 1: The police had no idea who wrote this second note,
7:53
Speaker 1: so they started by focusing on Joe's note, the directions
7:56
Speaker 1: to this boat ramp. Specifically, they were looking at the
7:59
Speaker 1: last couple of words in her note where she wrote
8:01
Speaker 1: blue with white, and investigators assumed what this meant was
8:05
Speaker 1: when she got to this boat ramp using these directions,
8:08
Speaker 1: she needed to look out for something that was blue
8:11
Speaker 1: and white, and what would be blue and white at
8:13
Speaker 1: a boat ramp?
8:14
Speaker 2: Boats?
8:15
Speaker 1: And that's when the police made a terrible connection. Four
8:18
Speaker 1: days earlier, the Coastguard had made a discovery out in
8:21
Speaker 1: the bay, about twenty five miles away from where Joe's
8:24
Speaker 1: car had been found. At the time, no one was
8:26
Speaker 1: connecting this discovery to the three missing women from Ohio
8:30
Speaker 1: because no one in Tampa knew about the three.
8:33
Speaker 2: Missing women from Ohio.
8:34
Speaker 1: But now that they did know about them, the connection
8:37
Speaker 1: was obvious. While it would take three years to finally
8:40
Speaker 1: put all the pieces together, the police would eventually figure
8:43
Speaker 1: out what happened to Joe, Michelle, and Christy on the
8:46
Speaker 1: morning of June first, they got in their car and
8:48
Speaker 1: they left Orlando and made their way to Tampa. When
8:51
Speaker 1: they got to Tampa, they couldn't find their motel. So
8:53
Speaker 1: Joe pulled over on the side of the road and
8:55
Speaker 1: she got out her brochure that had a map of
8:58
Speaker 1: the area. And as she's studying her map trying to
9:00
Speaker 1: figure out where she is, a man approaches the car.
9:03
Speaker 1: He was white, he was in his thirties. He was
9:05
Speaker 1: average height, average build, He had blonde hair and a
9:08
Speaker 1: mustache and was just overall kind of unremarkable and unthreatening.
9:12
Speaker 1: And so he went up to the driver's side window
9:14
Speaker 1: and Joe rolled her window down, and he said to her,
9:16
Speaker 1: you know, are you guys lost? I see your Ohio
9:18
Speaker 1: license plates and you're pulled over here. I'm from the area.
9:21
Speaker 1: Can I point you in the right direction? And Joe
9:23
Speaker 1: would say, actually, yeah, we're lost. We can't find our motel.
9:26
Speaker 1: Do you know where this motel is? And this guy
9:28
Speaker 1: would say, oh, yeah, I know where that is. Here,
9:29
Speaker 1: give me that brochure and I'll write the directions down
9:31
Speaker 1: for you. So Joe hands the brochure up to him,
9:34
Speaker 1: in a pin and he writes down directions to the
9:36
Speaker 1: motel they're staying in, and then after he gives it
9:38
Speaker 1: back to her, Joe thanks him, and he says, hey,
9:40
Speaker 1: you know, would you guys want to come out on
9:42
Speaker 1: my boat tonight and watch the sunset out on the water.
9:44
Speaker 2: You know it's beautiful.
9:45
Speaker 1: And Joe and her daughters thought, you know what, this
9:47
Speaker 1: guy's friendly, he's helpful, he seems pretty nice. Sure, we'd
9:50
Speaker 1: love to go with you. And so this guy says, great,
9:52
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you. And he proceeds to
9:54
Speaker 1: give Joe directions of how to get to this public
9:57
Speaker 1: boat ramp where his boat is, and so she takes
9:59
Speaker 1: notes on the other as he's talking, and then he
10:01
Speaker 1: tells her, also, you know, when you get there tonight,
10:03
Speaker 1: look out for my boat. It's blue and white, and
10:05
Speaker 1: so she makes the note blue with white, and after
10:07
Speaker 1: that she thanked the man not only for giving them directions,
10:10
Speaker 1: but for his generosity to allow them to come out
10:13
Speaker 1: on his boat with him that night. And as he
10:14
Speaker 1: walked back towards his car, Joe and her girls followed
10:17
Speaker 1: his directions to their motel. They got there around twelve
10:20
Speaker 1: thirty pm. They checked in, and then after that it's
10:22
Speaker 1: not really clear how they spent their afternoon, whether they
10:24
Speaker 1: went to the beach or a park or something like that,
10:27
Speaker 1: we don't know. But at seven thirty pm they were
10:30
Speaker 1: spotted leaving the motel restaurant, and then after that they
10:33
Speaker 1: went up to their room for a little while to
10:34
Speaker 1: get ready for their trip out on this boat with
10:36
Speaker 1: their new friend.
10:37
Speaker 2: And as they were.
10:38
Speaker 1: Getting ready, putting their bathing suits on and shorts and jackets,
10:41
Speaker 1: Joe or Christy got out the camera and they took
10:44
Speaker 1: a picture of Michelle as she was crouched down getting ready,
10:47
Speaker 1: and they also took a picture of their view from
10:49
Speaker 1: the balcony out over the bay as the sun was
10:51
Speaker 1: starting to go down. After they were all finally ready,
10:53
Speaker 1: they put everything away in their room, they headed down
10:55
Speaker 1: to their car and Joe drove them the mile over
10:58
Speaker 1: to the boat ramp where they parked. They saw the
11:00
Speaker 1: blue and white boat and their friend was on it
11:02
Speaker 1: waving to them, and then sometime between eight thirty and
11:05
Speaker 1: nine pm that night, the women boarded the boat and
11:07
Speaker 1: the man took them out into the middle of the bay.
11:09
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened out on that boat out on the
11:12
Speaker 1: water is not entirely clear, but what we do know
11:15
Speaker 1: for sure is that at some point their new acquaintance
11:18
Speaker 1: turned on them, and he almost definitely assaulted all three
11:22
Speaker 1: of them. And then after he was done, he tied
11:24
Speaker 1: them all up. He tied their ankles together, and he
11:26
Speaker 1: tied their arms together behind their back, and then he
11:29
Speaker 1: put a strip of duct tape over all of their mouths.
11:31
Speaker 2: But he kept their eyes open.
11:33
Speaker 1: He wanted them to see what he was going to do.
11:35
Speaker 1: And then he went into his boat and he pulled
11:37
Speaker 1: out three thirty pounds cinder blocks, and he set them
11:40
Speaker 1: on the deck in front of the three women so
11:42
Speaker 1: they could see what he had. And then he got
11:43
Speaker 1: three long stretches of rope, and he tied one end
11:46
Speaker 1: of each of these pieces of rope to each of.
11:48
Speaker 2: The cinder blocks.
11:49
Speaker 1: And after each cinderblock was securely fastened on the end
11:52
Speaker 1: of these long lines of rope, he would tie a
11:55
Speaker 1: noose on the other end of each of these lines.
11:57
Speaker 1: So there were three nooses and three cylinder blocks. Then
12:00
Speaker 1: he grabbed one of the women, he stood them up,
12:03
Speaker 1: he put a noose over her neck, he tightened it down.
12:06
Speaker 1: He walked her over to the edge, and he pushed
12:07
Speaker 1: her off, along with her cinder block. And so as
12:10
Speaker 1: she is struggling to stay above the water, her loved
12:12
Speaker 1: ones are in full view of her. They're watching this happen.
12:15
Speaker 1: And then at some point she sunk below the water
12:17
Speaker 1: and didn't come up again. At that point, the man
12:20
Speaker 1: grabbed another woman, stood her up, put a noose on
12:22
Speaker 1: her neck, tightened it, and then brought her to the edge,
12:25
Speaker 1: pushed her in the water along with her cinder block,
12:27
Speaker 1: and just.
12:28
Speaker 2: Like before, the last woman on board the ship had
12:31
Speaker 2: to watch as her loved.
12:32
Speaker 1: One struggled and eventually sunk below the surface. And then
12:36
Speaker 1: at that point the man grabbed the last woman. He
12:38
Speaker 1: stood her up, put a noose on her neck, tightened it,
12:41
Speaker 1: and then pushed off the edge along with the cinder block.
12:43
Speaker 1: And at some point she too, sunk below the surface
12:45
Speaker 1: and did not come up again. And at this point
12:48
Speaker 1: the man just turned around and drove back to shore
12:50
Speaker 1: like nothing had ever happened. On June fourth, so three
12:53
Speaker 1: days after the three women were killed. Because of decomposition,
12:57
Speaker 1: their bodies had bloated and they floated to the surface.
13:00
Speaker 2: The coastguard was alerted to their position.
13:02
Speaker 1: They pulled them out of the water, but because of
13:04
Speaker 1: their extreme decomposition at this point because of the warm water,
13:08
Speaker 1: they weren't able to id them. During their autopsy, they
13:11
Speaker 1: found water in each of their lungs, which confirmed they
13:14
Speaker 1: were alive when they were thrown in the water. A
13:16
Speaker 1: few days later, when Joe's car and those notes inside
13:19
Speaker 1: of the car were located near the boat ramp and
13:22
Speaker 1: the police began to speculate that she, along with her
13:24
Speaker 1: daughters must have boarded a boat before they disappeared, that
13:28
Speaker 1: was when they made the connection that unfortunately, these three
13:31
Speaker 1: missing women are probably the three unidentified bodies that have
13:35
Speaker 1: been found in the bay a few days earlier. So
13:37
Speaker 1: on the day they make this connection, the police call
13:40
Speaker 1: hal Back in Ohio and they request the dental records
13:43
Speaker 1: of his wife and his daughters, and those records would
13:46
Speaker 1: confirm his worst nightmare. His entire family was gone. The
13:49
Speaker 1: man who killed his family was a guy named Oba Chandler,
13:52
Speaker 1: who was a suspected serial killer who liked to brag
13:55
Speaker 1: about his date with three women. In nineteen ninety four,
13:58
Speaker 1: he was found guilty of murdering all three of the
14:00
Speaker 1: Rogers women, but he never took responsibility, nor did he
14:03
Speaker 1: show any remorse. For nearly two decades, Oba sat on
14:07
Speaker 1: death row and not once did he get a visit
14:10
