Hometown Homicide

In August 1992, Allen Roberts, a landowner living in Tennessee, came back to his house only to find that his wife, Doe, was missing. The sudden disappearance turned his homecoming into a disturbing revelation, and the absence of any sign of her deepened the mystery. Almost immediately, suspicion fell on Roberts himself, with those aware of the case quickly pointing the finger at him. Yet the circumstances surrounding Doe’s vanishing remain unclear, and no definitive proof has emerged to confirm his guilt. This lingering doubt leaves open the possibility that another individual could have been responsible for her disappearance still.

The episode opens with a fisherman working off the coast of Georgia who pulls a lifeless body from the water, the deceased still gripping a handgun. The grim find immediately raises questions, as the presence of the weapon in the victim’s hand suggests a violent end and sets the stage for a police inquiry. Detectives who arrive on the scene swiftly piece together the evidence and determine that the recovered corpse is one of two young individuals who have been shot in an execution‑style manner. Their rapid assessment points to a premeditated killing, prompting a focused investigation into the circumstances surrounding the dual murders.
