Hey, this is Charles with North Shore Media Group, checking in again before w...
I'm part of the management team for our small little family-owned media company, and I wear quite a few hats.
One of those hats is that I host a morning show weekdays on the late 94.7. I've done it for years, and I really do enjoy it. It is live radio. I cut on the microphone all morning long, not really knowing exactly what I'm going to say. With thousands of people waiting to hear what's going to come out of my mouth, but that no longer intimidates me at all. Producing a podcast
“week in and week out about an important subject, and trying to craft a product that is worthy of”
that subject, that's guaranteed me to death. I thought this would be a good time to check in with investigators, Steph and Montgomery, and see how we're doing. Now don't get me wrong. I can see the stats on the downloads for the podcast. I see the social media traffic, and again, we thank you
for your enthusiastic response to what we're doing. But the purpose of this podcast is to generate
information that may help solve what happened to Roxanne Sharp. So again, I ask, "How are we doing?" And I got Steph and Wright here, so I'll ask the question, "How are we doing?" People are starting to come forward with information that maybe they didn't think at the time was important, or it's stuff that they had heard, or we're told over time. But those people are starting to come forward, and this is a thousand-piece puzzle. It's going to take everybody to put it together. So I appreciate
everyone who's come forward, and there's a lot of buzz on Facebook. I can see that people are tagging other people, and you know, true crime is worth listening to, and certainly when you can identify with people and places, it gains momentum. What would you say if someone feels hesitant about coming forward because they've known some information for a long period of time, and they've just simply not sure they want to, maybe they're worried that they're somehow liable or involved in this thing.
“No, no one's liable, and I understand the hesitation in the fear. I think we've talked about that.”
But now's the time. No one's in trouble. We're trying to figure out what happened. We're trying to figure out who's responsible for her murder. If you know something, please come forward and tell us. One small thing can really propel this into a successful prosecution. What if the information is not firsthand? What if it's somebody that was a child, and they remember they're ants saying something, and it's third hand, second hand information. Does that matter? It's all valuable to me. I can't
tell you how many people I've talked to that say, "Why don't really know anything?" But this is just what I heard, and they start telling me something, and before you know it, we're engaging in a conversation about things that I didn't know anything about. Talk about the complexity of this crime real quick, in the sense that just the amount of time that's passed, the burden or the
obstacles that puts in your way? There are a lot of obstacles. We always run the race with
degradation of evidence versus technology, people die, memories fade, locations change. Those are all obstacles that we have to overcome. But something is big as this that happened at the time. The people that know what happened haven't forgotten it. What would you say to someone who said, "You guys have had all this time to solve this crime?" You hadn't been able to do it. I'm not coming forward because you're certainly not going to be able to solve it now.
I don't blame someone for feeling like that, and I know that that is out there. But if you listen to this podcast, and you see the crazy twist in terms that the investigators dealt with, maybe you'll understand why it's taken so long. What is it going to take to solve Roxanne's
“crime? If you were going to simplify it and just answer that question, what is your answer?”
It's going to take all of us to come together. It's going to take physical evidence. It's going to take witness information. It's going to take technology. It's going to take a little bit of everything to make this happen. I mean, if there's one thing that the internet response has shown us is that Roxanne had people that loved her and that do want justice for her.
Yeah, I was surprised at the amount of people who do remember her personally, and do remember her story. Her story deserves to be told, and her crime deserves to be prosecuted. Someone needs to be held accountable for what happened to her, and will it take courage for someone to come forward step forward with what they know, yes it will. The following is a production of North Shore media group.
Any individuals mentioned in this podcast are presumed innocent, until proven guilty in a court of law. This case remains an active, ongoing investigation, and all discussions are based on publicly available information, investigative updates, and legal proceedings were applicable. The goal is to seek justice,
Provide awareness, and encourage the public to come forward with any relevant...
This podcast does not make any allegations of guilt against the individuals discussed,
“and is intended for informational purposes only.”
That's audio from one of the actual interviews of local authorities with Henry Lee Lucas. The audio is terrible, and we may read from some of the transcripts eventually, but I can't play much of the audio here. Investigators Stefan Montgomery just spoke about the crazy twists and turns and Roxanne's story. This episode is about another one of them. And episode two, we talked about Robert Willie and how the notoriety of his crimes
kind of hovered around the periphery of Roxanne's death. And I want to pause right here and talk about where the investigation stood at this point. I mean, there's not a lot of press about it from those days. Was anything being done at this time? Here's Stefan Montgomery. I don't think that the inability to solve this case has anything to do with the effort of the detectives who worked on it. When I got the case file in April of 2017, it was well over
500 pages of documents. And the first thing I had to do was I had to break it down and categorize it,
see what we had to work with. And you know, they had reached out to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office to crime lab. They had done serology, which was a precursor to DNA. DNA was used in court till 1984. So that wasn't even on their mind when this occurred. You know, they did fingerprinting and they had over 150 interviews in the case file that they had conducted. So they did everything that they could do with what they had to work with at that time.
And the real value for me was in the hundred or so pages of handwritten notes by the investigators who worked on this case. You know, they were very detailed and they contained
“things that probably at the time they didn't see as important. But looking back now, things”
we know that they didn't. Those notes became extremely important. And at the time that all of this was going on, you know, no cell phones to look at, no video together, they had to rely on the cooperation of people in that town. And if those people were scared and wouldn't talk, and were afraid to give up information against their neighbor or against someone that they fear retaliation from, they kept their mouth closed and those investigators really had nothing to go on.
And in that ozone area, it's a tight knit group to start with. You throw in that people are related, just because one of them goes off to prison, they've got cousins and brothers and mama's and daddies. So the fear of retaliation was a real thing. Back then and still to this day, it does exist. Donald Sharpe said the Willy case simply sucked the air out of everything else at the time. Well, there was nothing subtle about Henry Lucas. He barged right into the center of Roxanne's
murder investigation. Lucas was a monster. There are books, a Netflix documentary. He retavit wherever
he went. It sounds crazy to say it, but this episode is about the second serial killer involved
“in Roxanne's story. Well, if you want to split hairs, if you add in accomplices, they're about four of”
them. So we're going to talk about Henry Lucas, but only as he pertains to Roxanne Sharpe. It is really easy to go down a rabbit hole on Lucas. And we're going to talk about him a lot in this episode. But by the end, I think you will understand why. Once again, here's Steph and Montgomery. One of the real mysteries about this investigation is the night before Roxanne went missing. She came home and her mother described her as being upset. And she told her something big
was going to happen. But she didn't elaborate on what that was. And the next day, she got up.
She left the house, dropped out of school without an explanation, and never r...
And she was seen here and there after that. And she told a friend in the neighborhood that she
“was going to go away for a while, but she didn't say why or where she was going. So when Henry Lucas”
was arrested, and he was questioned about how they met Roxanne Sharpe, said she was a hitchhiker, and they just picked her up. So if Robert Willie created smoke around Roxanne's case, Henry Lee Lucas created an outright forced fire. When it came to solving Roxanne's crime, anything associated with Robert Willie pales compared to what happened next, because it did not just affect Roxanne's case. Let me introduce you to Covington police sergeant
Bart Owen B. He's going to take us in a whole new direction. If you think the Robert Willie story is unbelievable, wait until you hear this. I was born in '76. She was found her murder actually happened in 1982, so I wasn't even around that time. I was still a kid. So when I first started, I didn't know about Roxanne Sharpe until really 2010 when a gentleman came forward, who said he had some information about,
you know, he may have some information about the case. So that's kind of how, you know,
I became aware of the kid. Well, really, you know, Roxanne Sharpe kind of always, our name came up here
in there, but I'd really in pay attention to it, because you know, it was before my time. That's when I kind of like had an interest in it and became aware of the, you know, kind of the facts of the case. So we already know plenty about Roxanne's case. A young girl from Covington whose body was found near the fairgrounds, a case that had produced little in the way of leads and was already frustrating investigators. Well, her case was about to interact with the killer on the national stage.
During that time, you know, the early 80s, there was an individual that became known throughout the United States in law enforcement, right? And his name was Henry Lee Lucas. And I'm sure a lot of the people who listened to this are familiar with Henry Lee Lucas in Otis Tool. They were a big deal back in that time. You know, they got a lot of publicity just because of what they did and what they were what they were saying. Yeah, it would be very easy to get
bogged down with Lucas. There's a lot there. Sergeant Owen B. does a good job with this summary of who Lucas was and what he did. Let's just give you some background of this, of the
“sanded visual. He was born in Virginia, I think, in around 1836. Born in Virginia, he died in prison”
in March of 2001. He was ended up, I think, I actually convicted, right? I think it was actually convicted of 11 people. So he was born in Virginia. He was a poor his family was poor. His mother was a prostitute, right? They grew up in Virginia in this little long cabin. His father ended up, I think his father lost his father. His father was in the rebel business. He ended up losing both his legs and some kind of railroad accident. So his father was an invalid. Couldn't help
watch the family. So it sounded like from what I've read them. You know, the mother was kind of the stole provider there. And, you know, she was pretty sadistic herself. So she would, you know, when I read, she would make Lucas, you know, watch, watch. She was having these sessions of seeing other men sleeping with other men. And, you know, she was very abusive verbally physically to both Lucas and his father. So it's really sustained a pretty significant injury when he was young,
because of her, right? If you've seen pictures of Lucas and the media, new paper clippings, booking photos, he's got an eye that droopes. So he actually, you know, that was the cause of his mother's abuse. But at some point when he was a child. So that kind of lead the foundation, I'm not a psychologist, but I would assume this kind of lead the foundation of his behavior, when he, when he got older, right? So moving on, he was in an out of trouble as a young kid
“and teenager use. So I think it one of his first res wasn't Virginia. And, you know, he's in it,”
like I said in an out of jail. So I think one of the first murders attributed to him was actually
his mother. He was arrested in Ohio for killing his mother and, and Michigan in the 60s, right? So he was sentenced to 40 years in the Jackson State Penitentiary. And due to his actions, while on car shredding, they sent him to, they admitted him to a, uh, a state hospital, right? Due to overcrowding in the prison system at that time, he was released early. So he was released in the 70s. So after he gets out in 1971, it didn't take him long to, to re-a-fan, right? He was, uh,
he was sentenced to another five years in prison for attempted kidnapping of a juvenile at gunpoint.
Now, I haven't been able to find a whole lot of details around surrounding it...
anyway. So he gets out of jail. He ends up meeting his, uh, hands up meeting his partner,
who's oldest tool in Jacksonville, Florida in 1976. From one of red, they, you know, they also insinuated that he was also, uh, romantically involved in with Otis tool as well. So him and Otis hook up, they hit the highway, he started hitchhiking, traveling across the United States, breaking havoc from one of what I've read. So they ended up moving in with tools mother and Springfield, Florida, 1978, where Lucas ends up meeting tools, niece, free to pal, but they,
she goes about Becky, right? At the time, Becky was mentally handicapped, right? So Lucas ends up taking a like into, to Becky. Well, Lucas and Becky end up hitting the road. They move out of
a move out of the house with tool and tools mother. So I start traveling the States, hitchhiking,
finding odd jobs when they can. They end up traveling to California, where one of Lucas's employers hooks him up with his in-laws. Lucas starts doing odd, odd in-jobs for this 82-year-old name, Kate Rich. Thank you for going all right. They were, you know, going to church here and there and kind of stable for a few months. Well, it didn't take long for things to go sour over there. So Lucas ends up getting arrested in Texas, 1983, in Texas by, you know, a Texas range on a gun charge,
“and held on a probation warrant in a local jail in Texas. I think that was a George around”
George Town. And so Becky and Kate, they're, he's by himself when he gets picked up, right?
So they got him in jail in this probation warrant. Well, he's in there. Word had got out that
the family members start making a fuss. Kate's family members, right? They start making a fuss. Because Kate goes, she, she, she disappears. She goes missing. And they suspect, they suspect Lucas of having something to do with that, right? So work is out to the authorities. Texas range just picks him up in Texas, holds him on the gun charge. While he's being held, they, they question him, they start questioning him about this, uh, disappearance, right? Well, he ends up confessing
to both Kate and Becky's death. So during his arrangement for the murder of Kate and Williams in County, Texas, you know, he's in the courtroom, and the judge is going through the motions, and all that. Well, Lucas makes some comments like, hey, what, what are we going to do about these other hundred murders that I'm responsible for, right? So of course, that kind of shuts everything down, the judge is like, okay, well, we need to figure this out, right? That's around
when the Lucas task force was formed in Texas. So keep in mind, this podcast is about Roxanne
“Sharp, not Henry Lee Lucas, but what a staggering prospect for those officials in Texas?”
They know this guy was a monster. Now they have to reach out. Country wide to other investigators mired in their own unsolved murder cases. This was the 80s, not today. Think about just the communication hurdles at that time. And then if you're that frustrated investigator, somewhere else around the country, and you get a call from Texas. So they form this task force with the objective of needing to start facilitating some interviews with detectives around the United States about
these different unsolved murder investigations, right? So they're going to facilitate these interviews right there in Georgetown, Texas. So where it gets out, different agencies from around the United States are coming to see Lucas, right? And presenting him with their open murder investigations, right? What's kind of feeding Lucas is, you know, he's not being treated like the rest of the inmates, right? Sheriff's pulling him out, giving him cigarettes, get him coffee all the time
“about him milkshakes, fine food. He's got this incentive, right? Just to keep talking, right?”
So these investigators start interviewing him and and Lucas from one understand had this pretty uncanny ability to kind of read people, right? So he could kind of see which direction they were headed and kind of knew what to say to make them happy, to make the people who were interviewing him happy. This kind of leads into how Saint Anthony authorities get involved. There's this meeting and there's this meeting in Nashville, Tennessee with an organization called ROCIC at the time.
It's a regional organized crime information center, right? So what they do, it's kind of like an information sharing meeting, right? From different detectives from all over the nation come and attend these meetings and they kind of, they go over different crime, you know, crime trends that
Are happening around the United States, different gangs, organized crime memb...
in, it's not what it is right now. So information sharing was kind of, it was kind of hard to do
at that time without the internet. So they would actually have to meet person right to discuss all this stuff. Saint Anthony pair of detectives are at this meeting and during this meeting, they're made aware of, you know, what Henry Lee Lucas and Audis Tooler are telling law enforcement authorities, right, that they might be responsible for a lot of these open murders across the United States. So during this during this meeting, this ROCIC meeting in Nashville, Tennessee and this was in February
84, right? So this is a couple years after ROCIC and was found had been murdered. So during this meeting,
“some information comes up that these two might be responsible for a deputy's murder, right?”
So as you probably know, Saint Anthony has had very few in the line of duty deaths, right?
This was one of them. I don't, may have been the first one. His name was Sergeant Lewis Wagner and
he was killed in 1978. He was found shot to death in a driveway of a funeral home out right outside of Comington, on Highway 21, in 1978. While they're at this meeting, they get information that they might know some about Sergeant Lewis Wagner's murder. So they started arranged some interviews, right, with the task force, that the Texas Rangers and this sheriff, but well, are facilitating. So during the first interview with Audis Tool, they bring up ROCIC and Sharp.
“And he Audis Tool makes a comment that, hey, did she wish he found what their socks on?”
And the significance of this is Lucas, Lucas had confessed to the murder of a Deborah Jackson, who was killed in Georgetown, Texas in 1979. She was found, I believe, in a drainage ditch, nude, and with just her socks on, right? So that's kind of why I believe tool made that comment. Hey, you better talk to Henry about this, right? So one of their next interviews was with Henry Lugus. They get Henry Lugus and they're interviewing him and they start
asking him about the Lewis Wagner murder and Roxy and Sharp. So he ends up confessing to the Lewis Wagner murder, right? Well, the problem with that Lewis Wagner murder was that a guy by the name of Willie Robert Willie had already confessed to that crime a few a couple years before that. Henry Lugus was impacting all kinds of North Shore investigations. Here's Stefan Montgomery explaining how. When Robert Willie confessed to the murder of Deputy Lewis Wagner, he also named three
accomplices and he testified against them in the grand jury. They were indicted. But by the beginning in 1983 suddenly changed course and said that he had lied about the other three people's involvement. And then he would not testify against him in the upcoming trial. So the disceternie's office had no choice at that point, but to drop the charges against the other three men. And although Willie
never denied his involvement, the case against them was dismissed. But when Henry Lugus came along
and then he confessed to killing Deputy Wagner, well, then Robert Willie recanted his confession as well.
“Now remember, Robert Willie had confessed to being present with others at the murder of Deputy”
Lewis Wagner. Now all of a sudden, their case for the Wagner murder loses its legs. And they have a killer in Texas confessing to that crime. Local law enforcement talked to Lugus and it wasn't long before they were asking him about one of their other unsolved murders. So Lugus is, you know, they're telling him about this girl where she was found, the Tommy years she was found and Lugus is, you know, he's saying, yeah, probably this is sounds like something
mean, you know, Otis would would be responsible for. During one of the subsequent interviews, he's more, he's more confident now, Lugus is more confident. And he's, you know, he's telling the detective, yeah, it's, we definitely, it's definitely one we did when I was traveling with,
Otis and Becky, this is kind of what he tells the detective's right.
this girl on the side of the, on the side of the highway, she was hitchhiking, they picked her up.
So what's, what's kind of odd or just, it's, it's not adding up is, you know, he's claiming
“they load her up in the, in the car and they, they travel with her several hundred miles, right?”
And so the information they had at the time that detective's a, they pretty much knew this according to, you know, the time when she was reported missing and witnesses that had kind of seen her, you know, hearing their around town, they knew that she didn't travel far from the time she was missing until, you know, she was found. So, but, you know, it's one of the points of the facts that they kind of, sounds like that a detective kind of dismissed at the time, you know,
how for whatever reason. Now there are other things that gave some credence to Lugus actually
being on the North Shore around this time. One of the things that gave Lugus's story credibility in 1985 is that, uh, priest came forward from St. Joseph's Abby in coming to, and said that on February 9th, several days before Roxanne's body was found in 1982,
“two transients showed up at the Abby and they were given a $20 hand out. And he thought that”
Henry Lugus was likely the person that he had given the money to, when they followed up with him some time later, he was starting to have doubts about that and he actually retracted that statement. Even with all that, those sergeant Owen B says, the extraordinary situation led to some lapses in judgment. When you start your careers, uh, a detective, you know, you get your experience, you're getting knowledge from, uh, more seasoned detectives. It's kind of like, you know,
interview and interrogation 101, where you don't, you don't want to lead the person you're talking to, right? You just kind of wanted to happen organically, right? You ask them, hey, you know anything about this, you know, they're going to say yes, no, they say, yeah, maybe you just, you get them to explain it in their own words. Well, you know, how do you know about this? The but, the detectives seemed like they were feeding Lugus more information, and not just our detectives
over here, the local authorities. I'm just, this is all of them, right? This is all of them around the United States who are interviewing Lugus about, they're open and investigate, they're open murder investigations. So while they're sitting, they're talking to him, you know, they're, hey, does this Lugus vinegar just showing them kind of pictures of the, of the crime scene where she was found, right? Uh, different pieces of evidence, we'll go found at the crime scene,
hey, could this, you know, does this look familiar? Lugus kind of picks up on that, right? So one of particular photograph that kind of sticks out is she was found next to what we know now is the coming to the fairgrounds, you know, sure it didn't look like it does now back then, it was more more overgrown, you know, the businesses weren't there, but what was there was part of the fairground what was called the Dixie Trail ride back then, right? So from an aerial photograph, from an aerial
view, it kind of resembles a racetrack, right? It was a dirt, a dirt track back then. So he's looking
“at these photographs and he's like, well, um, yeah, I think I think she was killed near a racetrack”
or something like that, right? Well, he's, he's looking at the photograph, right? So the detectors are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, could, yeah, could it be the, you know, the fairgrounds? That's kind of a no
know, right? He ultimately he identified a purse that was found at the, uh, a crime scene, but he's
he's, he's, he's telling the detectors that belong to Becky. He's saying Becky, you know, after that after they commended the murder, Becky swapped out the contents from her, her purse into, into a rock sand's person, she actually took rock sand's purse away from the scene, they, when they left. So they get into, well, how did you, you know, how did y'all kill her? Um, he originally says he shot her, but possibly strangled her, then, uh, then at the end,
agrees that he drove her to head with something to kill her. We'll get to that purse in the next episode, but put yourself in that room. You have local murder cases that have frustrated law enforcement. You have a persuasive serial killer telling you he committed the crimes and you heard what Sergeant Owen B. said law enforcement from around the country were diving into his confessions. And here in southeast Louisiana, once Lucas got rolling, he went ahead and confessed to other
local crimes too. So, you know, I can, I can get into some of the murders that were attributed to, to him and tool at the time. So some of the murders that came to light and some of those interviews that he was responsible for, and so there was a, there was a Slatel woman that was killed in June
Of 1978, and an individual named John Mutter in July of 1979.
beaten on a coveted street corner, right? Of course, the Rock Sand shark murder, and another
“individual named Kenneth Lee Broil, 50, from Slatel. He was found robbed in shot to death at a little”
local motel in Slatel. King's in, right? This was in '82. And then Ruth, man Guno, she was 28 at the time in 1983. She was from Folsom. Great. All around the country, law enforcement were able to
finally provide answers about some of their toughest unsolved murders. Until it simply came to be
too much to believe. And finally, a few people began to earnestly question the information Lucas was feeding to the task force. Back in Texas, right? The task force started facilitate a lot of these interviews with other law enforcement. A journalist got word, and he, he kind of inserted himself in and, you know, had an interest in this tool and, and Lucas, his name was Hugh Ainsworth. I don't know if he was an independent journalist at the time, but he ended up hooking up with
or collaborating with the Dallas Times hailed at that time. So he actually set in with law enforcement a lot of these interviews that were taking place in Texas. These other law enforcement agencies.
So after a bond, he started getting a little curious, right? Like, I just, this sounds a little
“fishy. Some of the things, well, he just, he just saw, he just observed what was going on, right?”
And the information that he was being fed by all these other agencies and he was just like, me and I, I just don't know about this, right? So another part of the story is one of these other agencies that got word of, of Lucas's confession. They were out of, it was, it was a female detective actually out of Dallas. She, she went down and kind of, she was smart enough not to feed Lucas any information, right? She was more of an observer. So she said in and she listened, right?
After she got an ear full, she went back and reported to her supervisors what, what she heard. And they were like, this sounds a little, uh, this sounds a little fishy. I don't know about all this. So they came up with a plan to, um, we're going to set some bait out there and we're going to kind of,
“we're going to kind of see what, what he's about and, you know, if this, if this, if he's for real.”
So they came up with the idea of creating a fake case file, right? So they put together a fake murder a file, right? They just started throwing random photographs in there, uh, witness statements, and just building up a fake portfolio, a case file, murder case, right? So she was instructed to go back down there and just, you know, hey, look, get him in the interview room and just, uh, you know, start talking to him and boom, present him, present him with this, with this murder and CP.
See what he says about it. Well, that's to be expected, of course, when she starts asking him about this fake murder, right? He's, uh, he chums up and he's like, yeah, yeah, that sounds like
something we did and, uh, yeah, we sure did and, you know, so that's kind of would knock that first
domino down, right? And it all just started crumbling, this whole debacle just started kind of crumbling after, after that, right? So she goes up and reports which she, what she finds or supervisors and this journalist, she, you, Ainsworth, ends up finding out about it, right? Which she kind of suspected on his own, but he gets with the Dallas Tom's Harold, they come up with this article, uh, at this story, right? And they, against the will of a lot of the, um, the authorities, especially
in Texas, right? The Rangers and, uh, the Sheriff, but well, he, they publish it and, um, it just goes to shit after that. So, um, after Henry Lee Lucas finds out about it, he starts recanting about, he starts recanting all these, all these confessions that he made, uh, the law enforcement, uh, prior to that, right? And so, and, you know, the unfortunate thing about it is, I'm sure a lot of indictments were probably made on his confessions, right? I would have to assume some arrests were
made too, right? And, you know, families, you gave a lot of families, lost, lost hope, you know, because, you know, some of these, you know, they thought they had closure, I guess. And then they come to find out, then, you know, this is all, uh, this is all a shame, right? This was not a simple isolated disaster. The fake Lucas confessions affect the people all over the country and took years away from what could have been productive continuations of investigations. Here's Stefan
Montgomery. Henry Lucas might have been crazy, but he was crazy like a fox. He had the ability to take information along enforcement investigators were giving him and turn it around and feed it back
To them in a believable story.
interviewing, not the detectives. He was reading them like a book and using it to his advantage.
“And at the end of the day, when, you know, when it all fell apart, he had spent several years”
traveling the country. He and she's burgers drinking milkshakes, getting preferential treatment. He wasn't treated like a regular prisoner. And that's all he wanted. And when that train went off the tracks, he just recanted all of his confessions. And the amount of damage that he did to not only the cases, but to the families of these victims across the United States is probably his
immeasurable in my mind. I know that the cases here locally basically got boxed up and shelved.
“He had left such a bad taste in the mouths of, you know, prosecutors, the judicial system.”
It just, I don't think they know what to do at that point. So it was all a sham. Henry Lee Lucas was a killer. It appears he was not the killer of Roxanne Sharp. I asked Steph and Montgomery, if he thought there was any chance that a hitchhiking
Roxanne ever got into a vehicle with Henry Lee Lucas. Henry Lucas and Otis tool never picked up
Roxanne Sharp. A group of determined investigative reporters, including Richard and Jellico locally, dug into Henry Lucas's whereabouts and his confessions. And Henry Lucas was in California at the time, Roxanne Sharp was killed. Otis tool claimed that he killed a woman in Arizona on February the 11th. Right around the same time, she was killed, but he actually got a traffic ticket in Florida on February 13th, two days later. When I started this podcast, I told you that I knew how it
would start. I knew some of what would be in the middle. And I had no idea how it would end. Well, we're into the middle now. We've had an episode about Roxanne, one about Robert Willie, and this one about Henry Lee Lucas. Roxanne's bad luck did not end on the night she ran into whoever murdered her. These two killers impacted the investigation that could have brought her justice. And the next episode we're going back to the beginning. We're going to get into the crime scene and discuss what
officers found where she died 40 plus years ago. We're also going to talk about that purse that Henry Lee Lucas mentioned. The purse found a month after Roxanne's body was discovered. That and more in the next episode of Who Killed Roxanne. Who killed Roxanne is a North Shore media group production, new episodes drop weekly, original music by Crestley Kalora, connect with the podcast online at whokilledroxanne.com.

“You're right. What if I'm a night who I say I am? What if it doesn't work out? What if I started?”
The drought? What if I'm out of the things that make you want me? What if I'm a night who I say I am? And I'm scared to admit that what if this is as good as it gets? What if this is as good as it gets?
I'm feeling like you don't need me, maybe you don't see me and my talking jus...
What if I'm not who I say I am? Because I'm scared to admit that maybe this is as good as it gets? Maybe this is as good as it gets?
