It's been years since Crystal Roger went missing. Her then-boyfriend, Brooks Houck, immediately became the main suspect. 

The mom of five was last seen at Houck's home. Rogers' car was found abandoned with a flat tire on the Bluegrass Parkway two days later. Her keys, phone, and purse were inside the vehicle. Houck was interviewed, but not arrested.

Houck has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence. Now we learn that an Nancy Grace episode in which Houck spoke with Nancy on HLN has been entered into evidence. 

Rogers’ body has not been found.

Ted Bundy, one of America's most notorious serial killers, was also a kidnapper, rapist, burglar, and necrophile who attacked dozens of young women and girls across the US in the 1970s. Bundy's killing spree was interrupted in 1977 when he was arrested for a Colorado murder, but he escaped while being transported to a court hearing. He was caught again in Florida in 1978, but only after a brutal raid on a Florida State University sorority house. Bundy confessed to 30 homicides, although it suspected his death toll was much higher.  He has now been tied to the death of Laura Ann Aime She disappeared on Halloween night in 1974 after leaving a party. Her body was discovered a month later in American Fork Canyon, Utah.  Bundy was executed by Florida in 1989.
