Just found it and edited my post before I saw this. Wasn’t as easy to track down articles for this as I thought it’d be, which is sad

Bethany's case got a lot of attention very early and quick and LE ,supposedly asked that the facebook page be shut down and finding any information about her missing , Has been difficult. until Roland's new girlfriend was afraid for her life and still nothing.

Fleming said that, given the seriousness of Roldan’s current charge and the North Carolina domestic assault that happened three years after Decker disappeared, releasing Roldan on bond would be a potential threat to the community.

Roldan’s trial is projected to last one month, and is currently set to begin Jan. 30, 2023.

Suspect in 2011 Disappearance of Pregnant Virginia Woman Bethany Anne Decker Pleads Guilty to Murder

The boyfriend of Bethany Anne Decker, a pregnant Virginia mother who disappeared almost 12 years ago, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, according to the Loudoun County commonwealth's attorney.

Another victim of the man who pleaded guilty to the murder of a pregnant Virginia woman missing since 2011 hopes her ordeal helps bring closure to Bethany Anne Decker’s family.

In 2014, Roldan almost killed Vickey Willoughby in North Carolina, beating her, breaking her neck and shooting her in the head. She lost an eye.

This is what happens when monsters are not caught, more victims suffer. I choose to believe that this SURVIVOR is a hero! She is even focused on Bethany and her family after all she personally lost.

They shouldn’t accept a plea from him unless he tells where Bethany is…

I just saw the old Disappeared episode about the BD missing persons case. Very chilling. I then did more research on the case, and saw that RR (her boyfriend at the time) was charged with her disappearance many years later. This is interesting, especially given that they haven't found the body yet.

Based on just the episode, I never thought the husband had anything to do with her disappearance.

Hopefully the family will find out what happened to her.

Ronald Roldan, the Loudoun County man who pleaded guilty to murdering his pregnant girlfriend over a decade ago, was sentenced Tuesday in a Leesburg courtroom.

TWELVE YEARS?!?! For murdering Bethany?? And given the possibilities of good behavior release it might be less. I'm glad he got arrested and convicted, but I'm not happy with that sentence.

This case is local to us and I attended several of the hearings. Before he was extradited to VA to face these charges, he was already scheduled to be deported to Bolivia. I'm hoping that this is still the case after he serves his time here. As part of the plea agreement, he had to tell Bethany's family what happened to her. I don't believe his version of events for a second (basically that it was an accident), but I do believe his story about disposing of the body. He says that he put her in a Christmas Tree bag and put her in the apartment's trash compactor. So unfortunately, it seems as though she'll never be found.

I just finished writing our episode on this. It’s actually going to be two. I’ve never been a fan of our Sheriff’s Department, but I’m furious with how they botched this investigation. There’s no reason this couldn’t have been resolved in 2011.

The family of a missing Virginia mom waited years for answers. A confession in her death spurred more questions.

Bethany Decker was expecting her second child when she disappeared, and cryptic Facebook messages helped lead officials to the person sentenced to killing her.

Right?
Northern VA ..and all of you know how and what it is , but in all of that .You can hide a person forever ,even if they know your missing and looking for your body...
Makes a person feel sick inside.
Also makes me have more compasion for posters who ask questions we assume "of course they did that '' BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY MIGHT NOT OF CHECKED THE TRASH COMPACTOR.

wtmf??
(also we will not talk about how the Local LE asked them to shut down the facebook page because it got to much attention... I will point out the trash compactor was proabably mentioned on the facebook ...and Bethany would have been found because well..)

Also who is you and the R you mean , I wanna watch now. I didnt and dont know what platform or storyteller or whatever.
I though everyone here was a housewife . Except we all gotta go to work.
