In Episode Three the story of Roxanne's murder investigation takes another twist with the introduction of a nationally known serial killer. Roxanne Sharp's body was found near the St Tammany Parish…
Do you recall where you left the body, sir?
sir?I know that's by an interstate, but that was down in Escondre Creek, next to an interstate
That's audio from one of the actual interviews of local authorities with Henry Lee Lucas.
The audio is terrible, and we may read from some of the transcripts eventually, but I can't play much of the audio here.
Investigator Stephan Montgomery just spoke about the crazy twists and turns in Roxanne's story.
This episode is about another one of them.
In episode two, we talked about Robert Willie and how the notoriety of his crimes kinda hovered around the periphery of Roxanne's death.
And I wanna pause right here and talk about where the investigation stood at this point.
I mean, there's not a lot of press about it from those days.
Was anything being done at this time? Here's Stephan Montgomery
I don't think that the inability to solve this case has anything to do with the effort of the detectives who worked on it.
When I got the case file in April of 2017, it was well over 500 pages of documents.
And the first thing I had to do was I had to break it down and categorize it, see what we had to work with.
And, you know, they had reached out to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office to Crime Lab.
You know, they did fingerprinting and they had over 150 interviews in the case file that they had conducted.
So they did everything that they could do with what they had to work with at that time.
And the real value for me was in the hundred or so pages of handwritten notes by the investigators who worked on this case.
You know, they were very detailed and they contained things that probably at the time they didn't see as important.
But looking back now, things we know that they didn't, those notes became extremely important.
And at the time that all of this was going on, you know, no cell phones to look at, no video to gather.
And if those people were scared and wouldn't talk and were afraid to give up information against their neighbor or against someone that they feared retaliation from, they kept their mouth closed and those investigators really had nothing to go on.
