A Daughter's Journey: ...and Story of Resilience

"Goodnight Mommy," a young five year old girl says to her mother, upon being tucked into bed for the night. The covers are snugly tucked around her very tired body, as the light is turned off and her eyes slowly close for a good night's rest. She is abruptly awakened at 3 am by her father, telling her to get dressed. "Mommy ran away." That would be the last time this young girl would ever hear the words "good night" from her mother.

After multiple arrests, endless arguments, and abuse, Lonene finally decided to leave her husband. The couple argued in the wee hours of the morning on January 7, 1981... and the next morning she was gone without a trace. Her husband claimed she ran away with another man. There are many clues in a thick Cold Case file that is now 40 years old, that indicates a very different story. Although, without a body, these clues are circumstantial.

A Daughter's Journey...and Story of Resilience, details the life of Lonene Ray Rogers and that of her daughter, Alison.
