No news today at all, and the family has been quiet on social media. I think the family and LE knows something we don't.

Unfortunately, that sort of thing happens all the time, especially with elderly people with cognitive impairment. I imagine that's what most people thought when they first heard about this case. We know that's not the case here, and that the circumstances are being called "suspicious."

Glad that one ended well, good on you!

Awwww
Do you have a link to the VSP?

You can search Vermont state police on Facebook or Twitter. I just checked and there's been no announcement yet. I said earlier that the silence from the family was bothering me, and I think we're about to learn why they went silent.

We all knew this would be the likely outcome, but I am glad that they found Roberta's remains (presumably) so that her family and friends will at least have that aspect solved.

Rest in peace, Roberta. My heart is with you even though I never knew you in life.

So there we have it. Not unexpected but so incredibly sad.

I’m guessing they are “processing” someone now so they are not ready to have a PC tonight.

Now who and why?

MOO

What a sad situation. My prayers are with Ms. Martin and her family. I just can't imagine why someone would do this, she was 82, If you wanted to take her stuff, take it, why do this? Very sad to say the least.
