I remember thinking, like, oh my God, are we going to be one of those families that the go years without knowing what happened?

I knew immediately something was wrong and I was hoping and praying that she would come home like the weeks after, even a few months after.

Yeah, I remember having that dreading fear of like, are we going to be one of those families to not know?

It's been almost 14 years now and that fear has never really gone away.

And the way that the case was going and how little attention it was going, getting and nothing was being done in the beginning, I just knew this was wrong.

And we're losing valuable time. I have a twin sister who turned 16 in October, a few months after Roxanne went missing and she wasn't there.

And that's like, when I really knew, it was like the first holiday without her, first celebration without her. And it just wasn't the same and it has never been the same.

During the July 4th holiday in 2006, 18-year-old Roxanne Paul Toff left home to spend a few days celebrating her anniversary with her boyfriend, a much older man with a lengthy criminal history.

The couple checked into a motel in Austin, Texas and this was the last time Roxanne was ever seen.

Her boyfriend later stated that the two got into an argument and Roxanne left with nothing but her state identification.

He stated that he looked for her prior to calling her mother the next day, who immediately reported Roxanne missing.

In the last 14 years, Roxanne has never been seen or heard from again. Ammarissa and from Wundery, this is Episode 243 of The Vanished. Roxanne Paul Toff's story.

Roxanne was the oldest child in a large family with five children. She enjoyed doting on her younger siblings and embraced being another mother figure in the home.

We spoke with Roxanne's sister Rosalynn and she shared with us what she remembers of Roxanne and how wonderful she was to have as an older sister.

So Roxanne was the eldest of five. My mom had us pretty consecutively. She had five kids in five years, so we were all close in age. Roxanne was like a mother.

She just had that nurturing aspect to her. She fed us. She helped us with the homework. She was fun and loving. She was the one that would initiate like family outings.

She used one that when it was someone's birthday, she would make sure that the decorations were put up and the cake was made and presents were bought.

She was the organizer. She was the one who bought us all together. My parents divorced in I think in 2003.

We moved around for a little bit. My dad's family was in Connecticut. So we were away from my mom for a year with my dad.
