Hi crime junkie family. I'm Ashley and I'm Britt and thank you guys for coming back for a new episode.

Don't forget if this just isn't enough for you and you need an extra fix of true crime.

You can always go to our Patreon. It's patreon.com slash crime junkie.

There are three different levels and at every single level you get more and more episodes.

Oh, there's so much backlog.

Yeah, and you guys, I don't think a lot of people know this. You don't have to listen to it on your computer.

Like Patreon is amazing. You can get a link and put it in your podcast app or at least most podcast apps.

And your episodes will download automatically on your phone the way that this one did today.

Ugh, so amazing.

It is. I'm a patron of some of my favorite podcasts and it is literally the most convenient easiest way for me to get extra content from stuff.

I love. So we encourage you guys to do that. Help support our show.

Again, we said this before. We're raising money through Patreon to start a second show in addition to crime junkie

that I think you guys are going to love. So go help support us. Help us do that at patreon.com slash crime junkie.

Today, I want to tell you about a missing person's case that has stuck with me for a long time.

And it's one that I frequently look up information on just to see if there's been any updates because there are some key clues that supposedly were being processed back in 2011,

but no results have ever been released. And I'm wondering if this could be one of the first missing person cases that gets solved using the same genealogical testing that they're using to solve murders now.

Oh my god, that would be amazing.

Yeah, and I'm really confident that there could be some kind of breakthrough. So it's super important now more than ever.

Like set your Google alerts and watch this case. And I'm talking about the case of Leah Roberts in North Carolina.

Or at least the story starts in North Carolina. Leah was attending North Carolina State when at the age of 20, her mother suddenly passed away of heart disease.

It was a terrible tragedy for Leah and the whole family. So Leah ended up taking some time off of school.

When she did end up returning to college in 1998, she actually ended up having a terrible car accident. So bad that it was almost fatal.
