Summary

It's been years since Crystal Roger went missing. Her then-boyfriend, Brooks Houck, immediately became the main suspect.

The mom of five was last seen at Houck's home. Rogers' car was found abandoned with a flat tire on the Bluegrass Parkway two days later. Her keys, phone, and purse were inside the vehicle. Houck was interviewed, but not arrested.

Houck has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence. Now we learn that an Nancy Grace episode in which Houck spoke with Nancy on HLN has been entered into evidence.

Rogers’ body has not been found.
