Sounds like the property and the home were searched at the time. Blood was found in the van?? Husband hasnt' done a lie detector test? Could she have left in the early morning to go and meet a secret.. friend(?), telling her husband she was going to the casino? Husband says it was not uncommon for her to go to the casino and not come home for a couple of days? Makes me wonder if she could have met someone at the casino at some point, like a romantic interest perhaps, which nobody knew about. If LE asked for husband's DNA, does that indicate the blood in the van may not have belonged to the victim, and belonged instead to the apparent perp? Can't they get the victim's DNA from sources other than her body, ie her hairbrush perhaps?

OPP say Mrs. Roach’s case is still considered a missing person’s case and not a homicide. Mr. Roach says he has been interviewed a handful of times since his wife vanished. He says OPP have search their home and property as well as property the family owns up north.

“They did their searches with dogs and everything else,” he says.

“I will do ever it takes and I will do whatever they want.”

About a month and a half ago, Mr. Roach says police asked and he gave them a DNA sample because they found blood in the van. Police have also asked him to do a lie detector test but he has yet to do one.

“George says he is an open book with police yet he refused a lie detector test,” says Mr. *advertiser censored*, despite Mr. Roach saying he didn’t refuse the test.

“I believe there’s questions he still needs to answer,” adds Mr. *advertiser censored*.

Her husband told police that Lorraine had returned from the Casino on the Friday night at roughly 11:30PM and wanted to go back so he decided that he would get up and get her money from a bank machine at roughly 2am. Police released footage showing Lorraine at the movies on Friday night and confirmed they have scoured HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of hours of surveillance tapes and confirm that Lorraine Roach was NOT at ANY Casino on Friday night. George Roach also stated that Lorraine often would gamble for 3 days straight and this is why he did not report her missing until Monday morning but police analysed her player card habits and found this to be untrue.

Hm, why would the husband lie.. :thinking:

The police have also executed another search warrant yesterday at the home where they both lived. They must have very good reason to do so for a second time. The last time they executed a search warrant, George allegedly had a panic attack & "fell ill" when he seen the police at the door. He's also used the feeling ill excuse when he hasn't turned up to police briefings. Not a sign of a worried husband to me! Ill or not, I'd be at every briefing wanting to know what happened to my partner & pleading for information.

Sorry if this has already been posted, I haven't had time to read the thread as I'm following so many cases!
 
NatalieLouiseXx do you have a link for all of this info you posted? This stuff is pretty damning (IMHO), wow!

Her own son (Andrew) posted it on the Find Lorraine Roach Facebook page hun:) you have to scroll down quite a bit to see it though. Dated 26th August.

https://m.facebook.com/LorraineRoachMissing?refsrc=http://www.google.co.uk/&_rdr

The bit about him allegedly having a "panic attack" last time the police came with a search warrant was posted on Tuesday, 2 days ago also by a member of the family, presumably the son. Hope this helps!
 
Fanciful thought, fwiw..
Concerning the possibility that blood was found in L's car, was it just a little bit or a lot?
A hopeful, thought, is that someone who wanted to "disappear" could cut themselves, so that the spilled blood would give the appearance that a violent crime has occurred. imo
 
I highly doubt she disappeared voluntarily although that would be the best scenario. Her husband also refused a lie detector test. He knows something. His behaviour isn't that of a worried husband who wants his wife back home. Not to mention all the lies he has told. You only lie if you know something or are covering something up. Also, she's been on medication for depression what she has suffered from her whole life, she wouldn't be able to cope without that. I honestly fear foul play & someone close to home knows what happened to her & where she is from everything i have read :( all JMO
 
I wonder why early LE reports did not mention the blood found in the van?
 
This report from August 2014, more than a year after LR went missing, is just too weird. Why would the son not have told LE that he suspected the husband's involvement until one year after his mom went missing? Why does it take a year for LE to release to the public and the family, video footage of the woman's last known transaction/public whereabouts? Where did she go between the movie ending and arriving at home (only to leave again)? Why did her husband take out money FOR her, when she seems perfectly capable of doing so herself, and in fact had already been out in the night, ie it did not save her a trip or anything (did husband control the money??)? Why did LR go to the movies alone that night if it was something she wouldn't normally do? BBM

Charlotte says it was weird that her mother would attend the movies alone.

“She would probably usually go with my dad. Maybe she wanted to get away or she had stuff on her mind,” she explains.

“It was uncommon.”

Charlotte says there’s still a time between when the movie ended and the return to her Hilliard Street home. There’s evidence that Mr. Roach took money out of the bank night, so his wife could go to the casino. Mr. Roach says he last saw her leaving the house for the casino around 1:30 a.m. on May 11, but didn’t report her missing until May 14. Peterborough County OPP searched tirelessly for weeks, using helicopters, the K-9 unit, all-terrain vehicles and a canoe to comb for clues, but the investigation turned up nothing. Almost a year after vanishing, Mrs. Roach’s son Andrew *advertiser censored* told myKawartha.com that he believed his stepfather George Roach was involved in his mother’s disappearance, but Mr. Roach denied any involvement. A few weeks later, OPP held a press conference to announce that case had been turned over to the Central OPP criminal investigation unit and that foul play is suspected.

OPP now offering $50,000 reward after May 2013 disappearance of Lorraine Roach.
 
I just only learned of Lorraine's disappearance today. I was surprised about this. I suppose Tim Bosma's disappearance went mainstream while Lorraine's didn't make any headlines. I will be on this one.
 
With apologies to Lorraine's daughter, things don't look good r.e. the husband.

Has her twitter been verified yet? Is this her website too?

https://twitter.com/madmoneyonline

madmoneysystem.com seems like a malware site to me. Be cautious going there. I won't directly link it. If it's her site, what is going on with that?
 
I can't see the registrant for that site but she was plugging it like crazy r.e. madmoneysystem.com

Also her son's real estate page is linked and she was plugging it too on twitter so it is likely her real twitter. JMO
 
" Sgt. Peter Leon said someone may know something that seems small and insignificant, but could help police in a big way. The reward is for information that would lead to the arrest of the person or people responsible for Roach’s disappearance.

Anybody with information is asked to contact the Peterborough County OPP at 705-742-0401, the OPP Communication Centre at 1-888-310-1122, or Crimestoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477."
