A 35 year old woman named Crystal Rogers went missing from Bardstown, KY back in 2015. Her car was found on the side of a busy parkway with a flat tire, keys, wallet and phone still inside. Just 16 months later, while searching for answers, Crystal’s father is murdered in cold blood. Now, people are wondering if these two crimes are connected to a bigger conspiracy that started with the murder of a police officer in 2013. Could all of these seemingly different attacks be related?

This is the home of Kathy and Samantha Netherland. Nothing was taken from the home and there seemed to be no motive other than their murders.

These are the two woman who were viciously attacked. Kathy was shot and Samantha, beaten. No one knows why they were killed in different manners – was only on of them the target?

This is the car that police think holds the key to solving this crime. The driver and the car still remain unidentified to this day.

This is Crystal’s father, Tommy Ballard with his wife. Tommy was shot in the chest while hunting on his property. A lot of people say he had a “hunting accident” but police have ruled is a murder. Shortly before his murder, he said he was being followed he even installed cameras in his truck. The footage from those cameras has never been released.

Here is that God awful sad video that I talked about in the episode. It is unrelated to any of the cases we covered but we bring it up when talking about pruppets and funerals. I promise you it will ruin your day… so maybe don’t.
