S3 Ep196: Leah Roberts: The Road Less Traveled (Part 1)

Leah Roberts was five foot, three inches with short dark hair and a beauty mark above the right side of her lips. Leah’s life took a pretty standard path, starting with a happy childhood in Durham, North Carolina where she lived with her parents and two older siblings, sister Kara and brother Heath, until she began attending college at North Carolina State University in nearby Raleigh. Because of unexpected events and tragedies, Leah would change direction in her early 20’s and begin a journey of self exploration that would take her on an impromptu road trip. On March 9th, 2000, Leah Roberts left her Durham, North Carolina and began driving West. Nine days later, her white Jeep Cherokee was found wrecked and abandoned at the base of the Cascade Mountains, 80 miles north of Seattle, Washington. Leah was not inside the Jeep, and to this day she still has not been found, but a later examination of the vehicle would show the engine had been tampered with and maybe someone had targeted Leah Roberts as she was out in the world, trying to find herself.

details

Love the details you bring to every episode. I follow on Instagram too. I follow you everyday.

You always elevate the bar!

One of your many superpowers is honing in on the silver lining, even when the outcomes are anything but shiny. I’m excited to take a deep dive with you into the Menendez brothers. I’ve always kept a psychological distance with their story. However I feel confident I can stomach it with the both of you. Sending love. xx.

one of my favorite shows

have listened to you both for a very long time. Prefer the longer, multi part ones.
