In this episode you will learn about the life and disappearance of Lonene Ray Raffle Rogers told through the voices of the sister, who carries the gift and the burden of being one of the only people left on earth who really knew her. The daughter who is relentless in her pursuit of truth and justice and the son who may know the person of interest in this case better than anyone.
It been 41 years, where is Lonene Ray Rogers and will justice ever be served?
Lonene was last seen by her husband Bud Rogers at 12:45 am on January 7, 1981. According to Bud, the couple argued and he went to sleep. At 2:00 am Bud woke up and discovered that Lonnie was not in bed next to him. He initially assumed that she was angry and had gone to sleep on the couch. When he realized that she wasn’t on the couch he concluded that she left him for another man.
At the time of her disappearance, Lonnie Ray Rogers was 29 years old, approximately 5ft 5 inches tall and weighed about 140 lbs. She had long sandy brown hair, freckles and gray eyes. It was reported that she may have been wearing a navy blue peacoat, blue jeans and high brown boots
In part two of The Life and Disappearance of Lonene Ray Rogers, Alison and Aaron will explain what their lives were like in the years following their mothers disappearance. We will also learn more about the initial and ongoing investigation into Lonnie’s case, Bud’s shocking criminal history, my visit to Saegertown and Alison’s quest to bring her mother home.

Part 4: Samuel Little - Prime Suspect
True Crime P.I.
01/13/21 • 29 min
Over the course of four decades and across 19 states, the deadliest serial killer in US history left a trail of at least 93 victims. Although he was arrested several times and linked to sexual assaults, attempted murders and actual murders, he was for one reason or another repeatedly released to kill again. Samuel Little believed that the reason he was able to avoid a conviction for so many years was because he targeted women who were sex workers, runaways and drug addicts. Women, who he believed were low risk because they were less likely to be missed. On September 2, 2014, his luck ran out. He was finally convicted for the murders of 3 young women, in the late 80’s and sentenced to 3 consecutive life sentences. In October of 2019, the FBI named him the most prolific serial killer in US History. Just a little over a year later at 4:53 am on December 30, 2020, 80 year old, Samuel Little died in a California hospital.
Episode 4, tells Little's story and highlights the possible connection to Our Doe, NamUs Case - UP10724 - Cobb County, GA - May 10th, 1984. Retired Cobb County Homicide and Cold Case Detective, John Dawes, explains how he submitted crime scene photos, the reconstruction created by retired GBI Forensic Artist, Marla Lawson and a map for Little's review. Dana Poll and Detective Dawes provide insight into the mind of the most prolific serial killer in US History.

Thank you for listening in 2020. I hope that you will continue to enjoy this podcast in 2021 and beyond. The news of Samuel Little's death last week was deflating but I have hope that investigators will continue to build on what they know and more identifications will be made. The next episode of True Crime P.I. will be released on Wednesday, January 13th. It will focus on Samuel Little and his possible connection to our Doe. Detective Dawes will provide insight into the mind of the man who he believes could be her killer.
In the mean time, if you are interested in learning more about Samuel Little and his victims, I recommend that you listen to The Fall Line podcast - Season 11. This special 4 part, limited series sheds light on how Little nearly got away with 4 decades of murders. According to the podcast, roughly half of Littles victims were living in the Southeast at the time of their murders. A number of these victims are either Jane Does or are currently considered “unmatched confessions”. This podcast is extremely informative and more than worth the listen. Simply search for The Fall Line on your favorite podcast player.
I would also like to recommend another True Crime podcast, In the Red Clay. This 12 episode series tells the story of Billy Sunday Birt, who was said to be the leader of the “Dixie Mafia” and the most dangerous man in Georgia history. In the Red Clay , documents the legend of Billy Birt through the eyes of his son, Stoney. Stoney’s memories reveal the complexities of the man, the father, and the criminal who was loved and feared by so many. If you live near Winder, GA be sure to visit the Rock Solid Distillery owned by Stoney Birt.
Happy New Year!
