Real True Detective Solves Roxanne Sharp Cold Case Murder! 4 ARRESTED!
from Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan · host CrimeOnline and iHeartPodcasts
The body of 16-year-old Roxanne Sharp was found near the Covington Fairgrounds in Louisiana's St Tammany Parish in February 1982. The teen had been violently raped and murdered, her clothing ripped off her body and tossed aside creating a trail through the woods to her broken body. The murder shocked the state, but with little evidence and nobody talking, the case went cold, but not forgotten. Louisiana State Police Investigator Stephan Ferguson reached out to local broadcaster Charles Dowdy and created a podcast to tell Roxanne's story in hopes of getting new information 40 plus years after the murder. It worked. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go back over the evidence from 1982 and explain how investigators were able to arrest four men, DECADES after the murder of Roxanne Sharp.
