Summary

There are more than one viable possibilities as to what happened to 13-year-old Blanca Elisa Roberson when she disappeared on August 6th, 1989. Though the initial investigators had their primary suspect, and for good reason, Private Investigator Richard Norgard isn’t so sure. He’s uncovered information that suggests several different possibilities and even recently released new details in order to generate more tips. Whatever the case, tragedy continued within the Roberson family for years to come, undoubtedly inspired in virtually every case by Elisa’s disappearance.
