Found Deceased NY - Kimberly Rouland, 32, Arcadia, 9 February 2015

[Abigail]

It was very snowy and very cold the night she went missing. Six to 12 inches of snowfall, and temps in teens, and very windy.

I think there's a good chance she's taken off for some reason.

She's kind of flighty - anyone who is "trying to regain custody of their children" wouldn't file for divorce and have a very obvious boyfriend. I don't know why they don't have custody, but to me this kind of points to a woman who took off. Hopefully.

OR, if she's not safe somewhere, the errand she went to run turned out badly.

I just think there's a good chance the husband didn't harm her.

Actually, a woman trying to regain custody of her children might do just that, if the husband was the reason for losing the children in the first place (I'm not sure if that's the situation here, just sayin). For instance, I have a friend whose bf and father of her child was abusive to her (physically) and she almost lost custody of her child. She had to end the relationship, move out, and go to parenting classes to be able to keep her child.

I did note that on her FB page, her bf posted that she was looking forward to them getting their own place and getting her children back (sounded like she was getting the kids back very soon). He didn't think she had any reason to run away.

wow----not alot to go on.........the "cell phone not working" bothers me.....but she had her coat on suggesting she left/may have left under her own power/desire............

We only have her estranged husband's word on what she was actually wearing that night, as not seen by anyone else leaving the trailer park.

Kimberly Rouland Missing: 'They Know Something Happened to Her'

The boyfriend of an upstate New York mother of three who has been missing since last month said police have told him to prepare for the worst.

"The cops sat me down and literally looked at me and said, 'Don’t plan on her coming home alive,'" Adam Siskavich told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. "They know something happened to her, but they don’t know what."

Siskavich's girlfriend, Kimberly Rouland, 32, was reported missing on Feb. 10. Her estranged husband, Thomas Rouland, 37, told police she left their Arcadia residence the previous night at 6:30 p.m. and never returned. Arcadia is located about 25 miles southeast of Rochester.

According to Siskavich, he exchanged text messages with Kimberly Rouland on Feb. 9. He said the last one he received from her was at 7:07 p.m.

"I know she was at home from the context of the text messages," said Siskavich.

Kimberly Rouland's stepfather, Hank Cole, told The Greece Post that his stepdaughter and her husband were separated but living together while she worked on getting her own place.

Siskavich said he has dated Kimberly Rouland for about eight months. He also indicated they were supposed to move in together the day she was reported missing.

From the article:

Siskavich said he has dated Kimberly Rouland for about eight months. He also indicated they were supposed to move in together the day she was reported missing.

Hmm. So it was the last day she would have been living with the husband.

What's that saying...something about being careful of what you think you know...??? YEAH, THAT one --> seems very appropriate ATM.

Yeah..... really strange going-ons... I guess I could see this end in all sorts of ways. It seems like there was a blizzard warning the day before she vanished (not sure about the day of).

Interesting to me is the boyfriend says that the husband is controlling and she has to basically sneak call him, yet she left her phone. Just sounds odd for someone who sneaks around on their phone.

I live in Rochester -- about 39 miles away from Arcadia. This has been the coldest February in history for these parts. It was only above freezing for about 6 hours the entire month! I went back and looked at the weather history. There was about 6 inches (or more, depending on area) on the day that Kimberly went missing, and more that night. Since then, we've had a number of snow falls -- not especially heavy - maybe one to three inches -- but it's all just accumulating -- hasn't been warm enough to melt.

Saying all that to say this -- if Kimberly were the victim of a tragic accident or (more likely) foul play -- her body may have been covered with snow the night she went missing, and then more snow added to that. I think the ground would be too frozen for her to have been buried underground, and the ponds and rivers are also frozen over. So, if someone wanted to hide her body, they'd likely have just covered her with snow. (or maybe tossed her down a ravine or something).

Yesterday was our first day with temps above freezing (it was 34 here in Rochester) and a little of the snow started melting. This next week we have more days with above freezing temps and more snow will be melting. This would be an excellent time for her friends to mount an extensive search (and for property owners to search their properties) of the area.

This reminds me a lot of the Jennifer Ramsaran case in Chenango County. Her husband murdered her and threw her body off a country road and down a slight incline. She was covered with snow a few days later, and pretty much stayed that way until the snow started to thaw, and the property owner discovered her body in late February. Important forensic evidence was lost due to the delay in finding her body (decomp and some animal damage). However, husband convicted anyway on circumstantial evidence.

Have SAR or cadaver dogs been introuduced to this case? Am wonder if the little pooches have sniffed around his car, place of business............this is not looking good at all.....

Sounds like they did a lot of searching (100 officers land & air search in the trailer and around the trailer park, and in the nearby apple orchards and fields, but no mention of dogs. One article said they were planning to resume the search when the weather breaks, which would be this coming week -- we'll probably get a little more snow, but the temps are definitely warming up.

Investigator Stubb said she'd never missed work before going missing -- which points to her being a reliable and steady person. I'm guessing that the two incidents with her child last summer occurred when she was at work and husband supposed to be watching the kids. He was charged with child endangerment, but Kimberly was not. I'm also guessing that her plans establish her own apartment (her boyfriend said she'd saved up $1000) were part of the plan in getting the kids back -- if she were no longer living with Tom, she'd probably be able to regain custody, as long as she had a firm child-care plan in place, etc. So, she was putting her life back together and moving on. At the same time, the husband was losing her to another man, and losing her income.

According to this article, her cell phone DID have activity after her disappearance. That's a bombshell, IMHO.

Whether it was an assailant, or her husband using it, or her, it's interesting. It was used after midnight the morning of Feb. 10.

I wonder where? Where they were searching last, is my guess.

I can't post the link right now, but in the Webster Post article, it says that the police used about a dozen cadaver dogs in their recent search. It also says that the last activity on Kimberly's phone was at 12:40 AM on Feb. 10.

The article also says that Kimberly's estranged husband has hired a lawyer and is refusing to speak to or communicated with LE in any way (except that he stopped by the Fire Dept command post for Tuesday's search to inquire about the search). Husband Tom says he was cooperative "up until the point where they started implicating me." He says police have been "harassing" him.

Yes. I posted the link to the Wayne Post in the post above yours. It's really looking to me - IMHO - that the husband isn't guilty. I don't see how anyone can call him "controlling" while his wife is living with him and carrying on a public relationship with another man. That sounds actually kind of not controlling his life enough - most men wouldn't put up with that.

I don't blame him - at all - for getting a lawyer. It must have been obvious from the beginning that he's the #1 suspect.

:rollercoaster:

What was the supposed business she had to take care of??
Did it have to do with her supposed plan to move in with her BF the next day??
Did she normally leave her home on foot??

I don't see how moving in with the new BF would help Kim in going for custody of the kids.

:thinking:

FWIW, he recently posted about going off the grid living "into the wild" style...

Whoops, sorry, I thought I read she left her phone. My tablet won't let me edit my post. Ignore that please.

It wouldn't be so much moving IN with the bf, but rather moving OUT of shared living quarters with Tom. Tom was charged with child endangerment and the children were placed in foster care. Kim was not charged, but she lost the children as well, because she was living with the guy who endangered the children and that arrangement was considered "unsafe" by social services. Establishing her own home separate from Tom (and divorcing him) was most likely part of the criteria set by social services for getting her kids back.

And...did she normally leave without her purse?

 

[Abigail]

I've been going through Kimberly's FB -- the bf posted a comment that his last text from her was at 7:07 PM. He also posted (at 6:31 PM on Feb. 16) that it had been exactly one week since he'd last heard her voice (apparently they had talked on phone) and that it had been one week, one hour, and 13 min. since he'd last kissed her.

So, that would mean that he and Kimberly would have been on the phone right about the same time that the husband said she left the trailer (but didn't the husband say her phone wasn't working or something?) And, she sent a text over a half hour after the husband said she'd left (but bf says the context of the text indicated she was still at home).

Also, if bf kissed her sometime earlier that evening (around 5:15 or so) -- I wonder if she were wearing the outfit that her husband described her wearing at 6:30? I wonder if she had on a warmer coat at 5:15ish and why she didn't put one on later in the evening to go out?
