00:02:18
everybody gather round grab a chair grab a beer let's talk some true crime [Music]
00:02:35
thank you [Music] we spent a good majority of yesterday's episode questioning what was going on
00:03:08
with this boyfriend of our missing person Roxanne poltoff well I don't know if this makes anything
00:03:16
any easier here but it certainly fills in some of the Gap in time that we were questioning yesterday and this comes in
00:03:23
the way of well a possible Alibi coming from detective James Scott who spoke to a desk clerk at the Budget Inn remember
00:03:32
the Budget Inn is where Roxanne according to Lewis was last seen she stormed off after a heated argument the
00:03:40
desk clerk made an official statement with Austin PD that she saw Roxanne leaving that night backing up Lewis's
00:03:49
story she also says that she saw Lewis pleading with Roxanne to come back and then later
00:03:57
this clerk says that she herself went to Lewis's room when she got off work this
00:04:03
around 10 pm and the two of them hooked up the clerk was with him from about 10 pm till 3 A.M according to the clerk's
00:04:13
statements and Lewis's statements as well and so she could vouch for his whereabouts during that five-hour window
00:04:20
according to ID disappeared which ran a episode on The Disappearance of Roxanne the clerk took
00:04:30
and passed a polygraph test but this Alibi for Lewis seems well a little convenient I guess but if
00:04:41
she took and passed a polygraph test maybe it is accurate one thing I do question though is I would like a little
00:04:49
more detail on this story regarding what the official statements were from this desk clerk where is her vantage point at
00:05:00
this hotel would it been a natural area you know does she have access to a space
00:05:05
that she could have seen Roxanne walking off or is she simply believing Lewis's story
00:05:13
and regurgitating it saying and telling the same story to the police at a much later date
00:05:20
the family and this is Roxanne's family looked into Roxanne's cell phone records
00:05:27
and they say that they saw something unusual they found a ton of calls starting being
00:05:34
made on Roxanne's phone while it was in Lewis's possession now we have to keep in mind it is Lewis's own words that he
00:05:44
was the one in possession of the cell phone so there's no argument there there were a ton of calls on July 7th that's
00:05:52
the night in question and over 300 calls between July 8th and the 12th so a lot of activity on the phone even after the
00:06:01
time frame when Lewis says that Roxanne left and again he by his own admission was in the
00:06:09
possession of her cell phone he has no phone himself detective Scott described the calls as rapid fire
00:06:18
and with calls being made every minute or so he's even on record saying that it seems to him like it's someone trying to
00:06:27
desperately establish some kind of Alibi by calling all kinds of people this was to a long list of phone numbers
00:06:37
but it also included other motels in the area local chat lines remember back in 2000 the early 2000s you would see those
00:06:48
ads on TV at all hours especially late at night hey Lonely Tonight call this number hot local singles want to meet
00:06:55
you it was that kind of phone numbers that someone was calling using her phones are depressing are you lonely
00:07:03
tonight I'm lonely every day many of the calls were to an ex-girlfriend of Louis's who lived in Albuquerque New
00:07:11
Mexico this woman she denied that she answered the calls but of course the phone records would tell us otherwise
00:07:19
and then there was the missing ID remember we said yesterday that she Roxanne if she did storm off after a
00:07:27
heated argument like Lewis would tell us she left a lot of her personal possessions in the motel room which he
00:07:34
later gave back to Roxanne's family again some question about the clothing but anyway
00:07:41
we still have the ID because we've always been told in this case that Roxanne she took off and the one thing
00:07:48
that she did take with her was her state ID so this item is missing as well as Roxanne of course
00:07:57
on July 13th so this is six days after Roxanne was last seen a man named Jeffrey Moore was arrested
00:08:07
at a Rundberg Motel 6. right near the Budget Inn Motel where Roxanne was once staying
00:08:16
Jeffrey Moore picked up a dancer at the perfect 10 men's club asking the dancer's husband quote how
00:08:25
much for her the husband said that she could provide private dances at another location but
00:08:32
she would not be sleeping with Jeffrey Moore so the three of them drove to a motel
00:08:39
where Moore managed to lock the husband out of the motel room and then began assaulting the dancer
00:08:48
he was trying to rip off her clothing and he beat her up pretty bad when she started screaming the husband grabbed a
00:08:57
nearby security guard his name Brian Parker and a pass key and the two barged into the room Jeffrey Moore ran out of
00:09:05
the room but he ends up leaving behind his wallet he also left behind his hearing aid Jeffrey Moore is deaf and
00:09:12
required the use of a hearing aid so Moore goes back to the motel this in an attempt to get his stuff hearing aid
00:09:22
and wallet but he is arrested when he returns to the motel and Parker the security guard
00:09:29
opens up Jeffrey Moore's wallet and he sees something important in Moore's wallet was a Texas state ID
00:09:39
that did not belong to him and it did not belong to the woman that he was going to be charged with assaulting it
00:09:47
belonged to a young woman and that of course is our missing person Roxanne paltoff but this was not put
00:09:55
together with the reports of the missing young woman for a while from my understanding here Captain what
00:10:02
happened is police believed it would belong to the assault victim assault victim says no that's not me that's not
00:10:10
my ID doesn't belong to me right they don't know what to do with it but they do know they're going to be charging
00:10:15
Jeffrey Moore with assault charges and so this ID belonging to I mean they obviously have the information of the
00:10:23
person on there but they've not made the connection that it is in fact a missing
00:10:27
person so it kind of sits in an Evidence Locker for quite some time now it comes time to return this stuff
00:10:37
so the person in charge of returning the items that don't belong to the person being charged
00:10:43
figures out oh wait a second we can't return this because the person this ID belongs to is missing long story short
00:10:50
is this man Jeffrey Moore turns out to be in possession of a missing woman's state ID
00:11:00
and we know he's violent that's right and I would go ahead and label him to be a rapist or or something of that nature
00:11:09
because that appears to me what he was attempting to do that night and thankfully this was stopped before
00:11:17
it could go even further but from my understanding he beat up this woman pretty bad this guy he again he's deaf
00:11:24
so he he had to be interrogated and this is about questions regarding Roxanne's disappearance
00:11:32
so they sit this guy down and with the help of an interpreter they're they're hoping to get some answers initially he
00:11:39
told the police that he was friends with Roxanne and that's how he ended up with
00:11:44
her ID see this is what I I have issues with in this case we have this situation where
00:11:51
the boyfriend says all right well she left she left on her own she was mad at me
00:11:56
uh and that seems somewhat believable right because he seems like a guy that you would have every reason that you can
00:12:02
think of to be mad at but it's weird that it's like this small little item oh she didn't take all this
00:12:09
stuff and that's easy to point out because it's she physically left it here it's all here in front of me but she
00:12:15
took her ID with her I mean was she waving it as she walked out the door Lewis I mean it just it seems like an odd
00:12:23
thing for him to notice that she actually took this item with her yeah and then that being as weird as I think it is as
00:12:32
suspicious as I think it is it ends up turning up with this guy this other loser
00:12:39
he has her ID he's in possession of it and his first explanation is well we're friends
00:12:46
what do you mean your friends you have her ID did you know she was missing you know you had her ID for six seven
00:12:54
days did you help look for her did why didn't you bother to notify anybody that you
00:13:00
have this missing person's state ID we had to pull it off of you during the course of an arrest well then that story
00:13:07
is not quite good enough so he changes that story a little bit Jeffrey Moore then told police that he was friends
00:13:13
with both Roxanne and Lewis but not super close only knew them a little bit but he had recently drove the
00:13:21
both of them on a cigarette run to pick up some smokes at a local Walgreens or a
00:13:27
dollar store I've heard the story presented both ways well a couple things I would like to know
00:13:33
if this individual was the one to bring up Lewis or if the cops brought up Lewis
00:13:42
I mean like oh I'm friends with Roxanne oh yeah but I'm also friends with Lewis a little bit
00:13:49
if he brought Louis up without the cops knowing then he's more believable so he says it it's during the course of
00:13:58
helping the two of them out taking them to go pick up cigarettes that she left her ID in his car and he wanted to
00:14:07
return it to her that that was his intention but of course now he's arrested for these assault charges well
00:14:14
this brings up an interesting point and Lewis doesn't tell us this but maybe he could
00:14:22
before this argument got so heated that she left was she preparing to leave anyways
00:14:29
like hey I gotta grab my debit card I gotta grab my ID because I'm gonna run down the street
00:14:36
and get some smokes and then they get into this argument and then she leaves and that's how Lewis
00:14:43
knows what she took could be could be what we do know is that what we do know is this is the story
00:14:52
that Jeffrey Moore presents to the police about the cigarette run and later when questioning Lewis Lewis
00:15:00
confirm the story when he was interviewed with police but it seems like the details of this
00:15:07
story differ between the two accounts you know depending on who you ask Lewis or Jeffrey
00:15:14
so then Moore provides another story to police well yeah because I mean two is not another couple more stories
00:15:25
he says he wasn't friends with Lewis or Roxanne at all that he had just met the two of them at a club and befriended
00:15:32
them there he then gave them a ride to runberg and Roxanne dropped her ID in his vehicle at
00:15:40
that time what whatever the case may be if one of those three stories is truthful
00:15:48
who can say but regardless we have a missing person who he is in possession of their state
00:15:56
ID and he's giving multiple different stories as to how he obtained that ID well and also what we know about this
00:16:03
individual is if you befriend him at a club and that once you leave that club he'll
00:16:10
lock you out of the room why he tries to beat the [ __ ] out of your wife and tries
00:16:16
to rape her that's what kind of friend he is the other thing that I find incredibly suspicious is we have the
00:16:22
boyfriend who isn't denying that they knew this man the boyfriend would look a lot more
00:16:28
innocent to me if he's saying yeah I don't know who that person is he oh my God he must have picked her up after she
00:16:35
left here after she stormed off in this dangerous area no that's not what he's saying he's
00:16:42
saying we knew this guy that yeah we went on a cigarette run with him well supposedly Lewis has an
00:16:48
alibi at least for a time period of the night what about this guy's alibi well he again he's telling three
00:16:57
different stories as to how he would have had any interaction with Roxanne at all so he has three alibis
00:17:05
yeah and when you have three Alibis you have no alibi detective Scott working the case describes Jeffrey Moore as a
00:17:12
sexual predator who was known to rough up working girls and officially he is considered a person
00:17:19
of interest in Roxanne's disappearance his car was processed by the Austin PD crime lab but it does not appear that
00:17:27
they came up with anything against Jeffrey Moore now remember we said that Lewis had called an ex in Albuquerque
00:17:37
multiple times in the days after Roxanne vanished using Roxanne's phone and she told police that she didn't
00:17:45
answer his calls but according to an article by David lore for Crime Library quote between
00:17:53
July 8 2006 and July 9 2006 there were 22 calls placed from Roxanne's cell phone to this woman ranging from 1 to 49
00:18:04
minutes in length so judging by that it sounds to me like Lewis was talking to someone in those 22 calls
00:18:14
Elizabeth and Rosalind Elizabeth and Rosalind Roxanne's sister both spoke with this woman personally
00:18:23
Rosalind says that the ex admitted to her off the Record that Lewis called her and said quote I'm in trouble I effed up
00:18:33
he didn't elaborate Elizabeth says that I spoke with her once but she said she didn't want to get involved she said she
00:18:43
was getting her life straight she had been in a woman's shelter because of her relationship with Lewis walls here's a
00:18:52
very interesting twist in this story and not a good one Roxanne's Mother Elizabeth said that
00:18:59
when she and her daughters went first out looking for Roxanne remember they were walking around outside of the motel
00:19:08
where Roxanne supposedly stormed off from this is just in the days after her disappearance that they met a sex worker
00:19:17
who was working the local area who looked at the flyer the missing persons flyer that they were handing out
00:19:25
she said that the woman kissed a cross that was hanging from a chain around her neck and promised the family that she
00:19:34
would help out by looking out for the missing girl now about three weeks after Roxanne was
00:19:40
last seen her mother Elizabeth got a call this is not the kind of call you want to get either this is the kind of
00:19:47
call where they are asking you to bring in your daughter's dental records down to the Austin Police Department
00:19:56
this is because they had found a female body under a bridge the body turned out not to be Roxanne instead it
00:20:06
was the sex worker who had promised to help look for her her name was a little her name was Loretta Lynn Roberts and
00:20:14
she had been murdered with paper towels shoved down her throat and dumped just a
00:20:19
few miles from the budget in now whether or not her death is in any way connected
00:20:25
to Roxanne's is really anyone's guess but even if it's not connected it certainly speaks to the dangerousness of
00:20:34
this area where Roxanne was last seen well you kind of have two scenarios here right she doesn't it's not like she's
00:20:42
far from home that she couldn't get a ride back home right or that she if she had
00:20:52
um her cell phone or if she could have found a pay phone she could have called somebody she knew and had them pick her
00:20:57
up but that never happened and we have no eyewitnesses saying that they've seen her
00:21:03
so we really kind of come to two options here right that she was met with Foul Play by her boyfriend
00:21:13
or she you believe his story and she took off in this horrible area and she met was met with Foul Play there
00:21:23
yeah it's it's a difficult story because it doesn't really have any light at the
00:21:31
end of the tunnel in my opinion sometimes with these missing persons cases we say well there's a chance that
00:21:36
they're out there somewhere and that we could find them or they may return on their own
00:21:42
but that doesn't seem to be what the general consensus is here with Roxanne's case and I say that because in 2011
00:21:52
Roxanne's case was declared to be a Cold Case homicide investigation now police publicly won't say why the case
00:22:00
designation has changed and that was in 2011. so 10 years later and we're still not 100 percent certain why the
00:22:10
designation changed now meanwhile loose walls was sent to prison in 2013 convicted on charges of
00:22:17
burglary and bail jumping for an October 2012 arrest he was sentenced to two years in prison and he has not been
00:22:25
eliminated of course as a suspect in Roxanne's case police still believe that he was involved or at the very least
00:22:33
knows more than what he is saying foreign [Music] [Music] cheers mates cheers and we're talking about Austin
00:23:13
and we'll be in Austin Texas this week it's exciting God willing so it's obvious here captain that police
00:23:21
acknowledge that they believe that Foul Play befell Roxanne and it seems with them saying that Lewis
00:23:30
is a person of interest more is a person of interest that they seem to think that there's
00:23:38
probably likelihood that one if not both of them were somehow involved in this detective Scott says his theory
00:23:45
is that Lewis wanted Roxanne to do some things that she probably did not want to
00:23:51
do was not willing to do and more Jeffrey Moore who was known to frequent nightclubs dancers sex workers was
00:24:02
somehow involved and the detective says that he knows that Lewis has probably bragged about what he did to Roxanne
00:24:11
this being in certain company but they can't get anyone to go on record and state that you know Lewis told me
00:24:20
this or told me a different story than what he told you guys and Lewis has not been Cooperative with
00:24:27
police I want to make that very clear where it may seem on the surface that he was at one point or was even briefly he
00:24:35
has spoke to police he has been interviewed by police but at some point he decided he wasn't
00:24:42
going to talk anymore and he hasn't since in fact he's dodged them multiple times
00:24:48
when they've tried to set up and make arrangements to speak with him further of course Roxanne's family is also
00:24:56
convinced that Lewis was responsible for Roxanne's disappearance possibly in collusion with more
00:25:04
but of course their hands are tied as well there's not evidence we don't have the physical evidence to push this case
00:25:14
forward Roxanne's family has never given up searching for her Elizabeth has lived in
00:25:20
Indiana since 2014 but every year on the anniversary of Roxanne's disappearance and presumed Murder She travels back to
00:25:28
the area with her daughters and long time boyfriend Patrick Doyle to hand out flyers near the motel
00:25:36
they even got a billboard donated for the cause and they've appeared on America's Most Wanted Elizabeth
00:25:43
maintains a Facebook page for her daughter and has posted on web sleuths she says she has a special friendship
00:25:51
with Detective Scott who has vowed to see the case through to the end and it sounds like Lewis walls and Jeffrey
00:26:01
Moore continue to have their issues and brush-ups with the law from my understanding Captain Jeffrey Moore now
00:26:08
lives in Houston and Lewis walls is still in Austin and last I heard he was still a free man
00:26:16
I have heard in red Roxanne's family go on the record multiple times and say that they have evidence they've talked
00:26:28
to people that state that Jeffrey Moore and Lewis walls have more of a friendship or
00:26:35
relationship or whatever you want to call it then what is obvious in this case that they seem to have known each
00:26:43
other for a long time that they run in the same circles and that I think that only adds to the idea that maybe they
00:26:52
were involved in this thing together the thing that we have to point out here that
00:26:59
should be obvious is that Lewis walls if he did something to Roxanne look most murders result as two people
00:27:10
getting into an argument that leads to a physical altercation one person loses control ends up killing the other person
00:27:19
it could be as simple as he repeated a previous Act we have some evidence to suggest that he
00:27:28
punched her in the face punched Roxanne in the face breaking her nose right it could be as simple as he struck her
00:27:35
again she fell and hit her head on something or it was a deadly punch and he went to assault her
00:27:45
repeated abuse and she ended up dead and now he had a whole different set of problems on his hands
00:27:54
the weird thing though is this dude Lewis walls does not have a vehicle and murdered persons don't just walk out
00:28:05
and bury themselves someone has concealed this young woman's body somewhere and that's why we don't
00:28:13
know where she is today so I see a situation here Captain where it looks to me like Lewis walls is up
00:28:21
against it he's backed into a corner this is a guy that I don't think he could have covered this up and concealed
00:28:28
it himself if others weren't actively involved in the actual murder itself I don't see how we don't have at least
00:28:36
one other person maybe multiple people involved in covering the thing up right we have the
00:28:44
budget in desk clerk that seems like a possibility could have been helping we have Jeffrey Moore
00:28:53
seems like a possibility could have been helping who else Lewis Wall's mother who would have helped this guy
00:29:02
somebody with a vehicle probably helped this guy now unlike some of the other cases we've
00:29:07
covered in the garage in which everyone seems to know or have a strong belief about who did it who's
00:29:14
responsible but there's little hope of any new evidence ever surfacing there were some recent
00:29:23
developments or movements in Roxanne's case this comes from Rosalind Schultz Roxanne's sister who of course has never
00:29:33
given up the search for her sister in 2019 she was looking at the phone records from Roxanne's phone back from
00:29:40
2006. and she noticed something she saw that there were Air Time charges on Roxanne's bill on the night that she
00:29:50
went missing these were some unexplainable charges that could only be roaming charges now
00:29:58
remember Lewis said that Roxanne walked out on him at around 8 30 pm but the records show that Roxanne's
00:30:07
phone was on the move it was out of her coverage Zone around this exact time so back then 2006 T-Mobile which was her
00:30:18
carrier had the setup where they had you had your network right which often back
00:30:24
then was sadly limited just to the the city that you lived in or draw a big circle around the city and maybe it
00:30:32
carried it out a little bit further than that if you were outside of your network
00:30:37
then you would receive these charges what these charges indicate is that her phone was not in the area where Lewis
00:30:46
says that they were at the time that she walked out on him and also where the hotel clerk says they were correct
00:30:54
so if the hotel clerk saw something saw Roxanne storming off then how did it happen at that time at 8
00:31:04
30 it didn't is what the phone would tell us who I think it would be very hard to believe
00:31:11
and hard to convince anyone else the probability of that phone being in anyone else's possession at 8 30 pm on
00:31:21
that Friday other than Roxanne's or Lewis's but whoever was in possession of that
00:31:27
phone they were outside of her network right so they were not at the Budget Inn hotel at 8 30 pm on that Friday
00:31:36
so somebody's lying and I think you're smart here Captain to point out that sounds like at least two people are are
00:31:42
lying in this situation well I don't know if I believe that the hotel clerk is lying because I I think her coming
00:31:49
forward and talking to police at all is isn't a way to help especially somebody that would be in
00:31:57
that area often and would see what kind of bad crimes were happening especially to women in that area
00:32:08
but just because she passed passes a polygraph test doesn't mean she could be she could technically be lying without
00:32:21
knowing she's lying she could also be lying and knowing that she's lying I mean there's a reason why those tests
00:32:28
are not admissible in the court right right no she could she could have Pat she could uh passed the test with with
00:32:36
being able to lie or she sees a girl walking away from the hotel roughly around that time
00:32:44
period and she didn't know Roxanne so all all she has to say is well okay well I I saw this girl walk away I I
00:32:55
went down to this guy's room I hooked up with him till three then I left all that
00:33:01
could be true she did see somebody leaving the hotel it just wasn't the missing person Roxanne
00:33:10
then who was Lewis speaking with because she says she saw Roxanne and Lewis well she said that she saw yeah she saw
00:33:19
him pleading with her I don't know I'm just saying we have no way of knowing if that was
00:33:25
Roxanne or not right I don't again I don't think that she left I've I mean who else would it be
00:33:38
that's her story that she saw Roxanne and Lewis walking away together that Lewis was pleading with her to stay
00:33:48
yeah but she doesn't know who Roxanne is so I'm just saying she might be misidentifying the person that there was
00:33:56
a person that was walking away don't know who that person was I think it's a little difficult though
00:34:03
because I I want to be clear here when when you say came forward to help this woman we don't know that she came
00:34:12
forward what likely took place is that the police are questioning people at the hotel she works there and that's how
00:34:19
they came across this information I don't have any belief here that this woman came forward to tell the story if
00:34:29
she did come forward to tell this story to help it sounds more to me like she came forward to defend Lewis and to help
00:34:37
Lewis rather than help in the search for Roxanne I'd really like to know if law enforcement was able to figure out
00:34:46
if there was two Hotel keys I just don't buy Roxanne being the type of person to storm out
00:34:57
without having access to be able to come back and get her stuff that part of Lewis's story makes
00:35:08
little to no sense to me I agree with you 100 that part of Lewis's story makes zero sense to me in fact Lewis's story
00:35:17
altogether doesn't make any sense I think the whole story is a complete lie in fabrication I think that it makes
00:35:24
little sense that she stormed out without a key very unlikely because I don't think she stormed out at all I
00:35:31
think that something happened whether it be an argument between the two of them or he was trying to get her to do
00:35:37
something that she was not willing to do and he attacked her and I certainly think that 100 percent that both of
00:35:47
these guys are involved I think that it just muddies the waters a little bit that we have this one guy that you go
00:35:54
okay well he makes sense as a suspect and Lewis walls makes sense as a suspect so that makes it a little conflicting
00:36:03
between the two but when you see that we have the family that point out that these guys know each other they at one
00:36:10
time ran in the same circles that I think that these two are in this together Lewis walls could not have
00:36:17
concealed this body by himself no he's a he's a [ __ ] but again he's a Lewis is a
00:36:26
a bag of [ __ ] from the windows to the walls and Jeffrey Moore is more of a pile of [ __ ]
00:36:34
so I think it was something possibly along the lines like you said if you take out the idea that she was
00:36:43
even there to storm out it's possible that if he knew and and okay it's not possible we know he knows
00:36:53
Jeffrey Moore but it's possible that he said Hey Jeffrey you paid me this and I'll leave her alone with you or
00:37:02
something to that nature and I think both Lewis and Jeffrey know exactly what happened
00:37:11
and if this hotel clerk is lying but somehow passed the polygraph come forward and say something
00:37:23
because this girl was murdered this girl's missing her family doesn't have answers
00:37:29
maybe there's something that you did not tell police maybe there's something you
00:37:34
did tell them that was a lie that could really help this investigation and it's up to you to come forward I see
00:37:44
no chance that Roxanne storms out and leaves all of her stuff behind except for an ID
00:37:54
I see no chance that she did that and then let's compound that with somehow this other violent male ends up with her
00:38:02
ID we have two violent males that are at the centerpiece of this case we have police on record and they do not
00:38:14
do this very often they don't go on record very often and say you know what we've redesignated this case
00:38:23
to a Cold Case homicide right they have reason to believe that and I don't think you have to use much
00:38:30
of an imagination to come to that same conclusion the other thing too is they have both
00:38:38
they have said that both individuals are Persons of Interest named both of them as Persons of Interest in this case
00:38:47
it's amazing to me that no one has rolled on either of these guys I share the same Theory as
00:38:55
the detective working the case that Lewis walls has told somebody something in the last 15 years
00:39:03
he's told somebody what happened what went down who was involved that's the people that we need to come
00:39:10
forward those are the people that should be listening to and responding to the calls for help from the public
00:39:20
and they can be anonymous and again Austin investigators have stated publicly that they believe that
00:39:26
either Lewis walls or Jeffrey Moore or both are likely responsible for what happened to Roxanne in fact detective
00:39:34
Scott has said that he is certain that neither Lewis nor Moore has told police everything they know about Roxanne
00:39:43
detective Scott says he is very frustrated that although he has spoken to Lewis several times now Lewis won't
00:39:50
cooperate with police and he doesn't have enough to bring Lewis in he told the chronicle again this is from
00:39:57
detective Scott quote people don't realize that although I feel that he could be more forthcoming I don't have
00:40:04
any legal rights to force him to do anything and until I get the kind of forensic evidence that would allow me to
00:40:11
go to a grand jury to force him to answer questions I can't I mean it's not like in the movies where you can just go
00:40:20
to someone and say well we're taking you downtown because if they don't want to all we can
00:40:26
say is well that's a real bummer we can't just throw you in a car but that's not all
00:40:33
detective Scott says Louis just doesn't care that he's a suspect he's no stranger to bad acting so it's not a
00:40:42
huge burden for him basically Scott continues I've got two violent offenders both of them are lying to me they're
00:40:50
both hiding criminal activity but I think one of them is hiding a murder per the chronicle
00:40:58
in regards to the phone records quote the records reviewed by the chronicle show approximately 48 phone calls made
00:41:05
from Roxanne's phone on July 7th including the potential roaming charges for 12 calls between 6 44 pm and 8 42
00:41:15
p.m the time period during which Roxanne left the hotel according to Lewis walls
00:41:22
what this means is that Lewis's story that they were at the hotel and Roxanne left without her phone and he stayed
00:41:29
behind is not true in March of 2021 detectives sent out a media reminder that they still need the
00:41:38
Public's help this year they hooked up with some of the local news outlets as a reminder
00:41:44
that they were still working the case Roxanne is still missing and here is where you can send any information that
00:41:52
you should have Roxanne's family is to be commended for their commitment to keeping her case now 15 years old in the
00:42:01
public eye but they are tired frustrated and becoming hopeless her sister Rosalind recently said to Fox 7
00:42:10
Roxanne's case is a murder without a body and we don't have any proof or evidence of a murder and we don't have a
00:42:17
body they take comfort that the investigators agree with them that Lewis walls and or
00:42:24
Jeffrey Moore are likely responsible but that is a cold comfort when nothing is happening Roxanne poltoff is a Caucasian
00:42:34
female she has light brown hair and green eyes her navel is pierced and her ears are double pierced she has a mole
00:42:42
on the right side of her neck and a quarter-sized scar on her left knee she has previously fractured her nose and
00:42:49
one of her Upper Front Teeth is false her nickname is Roxy today she would be 33 years old
