Crystal Rogers: Federal search warrants executed as FBI Louisville takes over as lead investigative agency

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Federal search warrants are being executed and interviews will be conducted in connection to Crystal Rogers’ disappearance as the FBI Louisville takes over as the lead investigative agency.

FBI Louisville made the announcement Thursday morning and said it is working with several federal, state and local partners, including the Internal Revenue Service, the Kentucky State Police and the United States Attorney’s Office.

FBI officials said more than 150 state and federal law enforcement officers will begin executing nine federal search warrants and interviewing more than 50 people in Bardstown on Thursday.

ETA this sounds hopeful. It sounds like they're swooping down on Bardstown en masse today. Jmo

From the article above - it sounds like it is Crystal they found?! Otherwise "why" the search warrants?

I'm cautiously optimistic. Jmo. I'm hoping for a presser maybe? Trying not to read between the lines or add info but it sure sounds like a very concentrated effort to me. More jmo.

As the FBI takes over the Crystal Rogers case, multiple search warrants are being served in the Bardstown area. A neighbor sent me this- says police arrived to Brooks Houck’s home around 5:45 and just put up tape.

Just talked with Sherry Ballard, Crystal’s mother. She tells me she’s still processing the day’s events and needs a little time but she’s encouraged by what is happening & feels confident there will be justice for her daughter.

We’re on Pulliam Avenue - at the home Brooks Houck’s brother, Nick shares with their grandmother. I can see FBI agents collecting evidence, as well as a pick up truck that’s has all its doors opened. The county sheriff is also on scene.

Huge news coming out of Bardstown this morning. We have crews en route. Hopefully, we’ll get answers to questions we’ve had for five years now. #Bardstown #CrystalRogers

Hayley Minogue @HayleyMinogueTV
Photos just in to our newsroom from @sirjakecannon show law enforcement at Brooks Houck’s home. Brooks was the last person to see Crystal alive, and was her boyfriend at the time. He’s been the main suspect for years.

And @WHAS11Hasch is at Nick Houck’s home where federal search warrants are also being served this morning. FBI said they aren’t doing any on camera things just yet. Did confirm federal warrants being served at both locations. #Bardstown #CrystalRogers

For the time we’ve been here at Pulliam Ave, FBI agents (including canines) have focused their attention on pick up truck. This is where Nick Houck lives, when it was searched several years ago, his grandmother was living here.

Lots happening in #Bardstown with the #CrystalRogers case today! What’s done in the dark always comes to light. While the cases are totally unconnected I hope there’s progress in the Delphi case next. Abby and Libby deserve justice. #todayistheday

At Nick Houck’s home where federal search warrants are being served this morning. FBI not talking. Did confirm federal warrants also being served at the home of Brooks Houck. #Bardstown #CrystalRogers
