So was it Miss or Mrs.? As for the bare mattress, I wonder whether she had stripped the bedding to launder it, as she was seen hanging out clothes. It seems odd the killer would take the bedding, and leave the body. jmo

Mrs.
Read one of the newspaper articles...Rogers was her maiden name.

Sorry, I was going off  dotr's first post and hadn't read the articles. Thanks for the correction.

Ok, folks. The news article lists both Miss and Mrs. Typo, maybe? Also, the assistant apartment manager thought the victim was sleeping in the nude, (and thought it strange), but no reference to the bare mattress.
I noticed there was no mention in the article of a husband or boyfriend being notified or interviewed.

Oh, I wasn't correcting you. Just answering your question.

Jumping off your post, she was married, and I looked at her obit, she had 4 children. Yet she was meeting men and working as a Go-Go dancer. I wonder if her husband was cleared? A jealous husband is always a good motive.

Thanks, and please disregard my last post. Our posts crossed, lol!

Would never have guessed that.

Excellent point. Was she maintaining a separate residence, and did the husband know about it?

 

[sallye818]

The podcast said an envelope was in her file with photos of suspects...there were photos of 27 men!

 

[sallye818]

Her death certificate listed her as still married. So not divorced. No mention of her husband in the podcast.

Anyone else find it strange that there's a plethora of suspects, but not one mention of the husband (whether his is one of the 27 photos) or who was raising the kids?

where does it say she was meeting men?

 

[LadyL]

had been dead for four days and co-workers found her so obviously not living with her husband

I get that, I was just wondering whether he knew where she lived, and how much contact (if any) she had with him or those 4 kids mentioned earlier.
