Despite her forgiving nature and hopes for a better future, Nikki went missing in May 2024, with her abandoned truck later found in a remote area. As Nikki's family continues their search for answers, Tyler's inconsistent claims and legal troubles raise suspicions about his involvement in her disappearance.

    REPLAY: The Disappearance of Lonene "Lonnie" Ray Rogers
    Dec 24 2024

    After meeting at a local deaf club, Lonene 'Lonnie' Ray Rogers and Clinton 'Buddy' Rogers quickly became an item. Unfortunately, Lonnie was unaware of Bud’s past criminal history when the two were married. Lonnie planned to leave Bud on the evening of January 7, 1981, but according to Bud, she left in the middle of a snowstorm and has never been seen again. Over 40 years later, her daughter Alison is working tirelessly to find justice for her mom.

    Research by Haley Gray and Anna Luria.

    Special thanks to Lonnie’s daughter Alison for sharing stories with us about her Mom and fact checking the episode.

    Than you also to Light the Way for helping to link us with Alison, and Charlie from Crimelines for generously sharing her research with us to help make this episode possible.
