On July 9, 2019 Eric Lee Roberts was arrested on suspicion of murder and is being held on $1.5 million bail in the death of Nancy Moyer. The arrest came after 53 year old Roberts, a former coworker of Moyer’s, allegedly called 911 saying he wanted to confess to a murder.

According to police, Roberts confessed to murdering Nancy Moyer back in 2009, but recanted his confession the next day. A search was conducted on his property and investigators are currently processing evidence.

On July 18, 2019 the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office stated that Eric Roberts will not be charged with any crimes at this time due to a lack of evidence.

      Correction on your post; Satara Stratton’s manner of death is UNDETERMINED You need to check with the coroner to post the correct information. Satara was a victim of human trafficking and drugs were used as weapons to control her, it was not her choice.

      Investigation Discovery has not made an official announcement regarding season 10 yet. If it follows a schedule similar to last year I’d expect it to start in March. I’ll post an update as soon as I hear anything.

          Considering many episodes feature cases that were found to be homicides years ago, I don’t think the continual repeated airings are helpful to the grieving families and friends of the deceased.

            Do you really think that there are things that actually make the loved ones grieve more? I think that they’d prefer to have attention on the cases if it means being able to bring charges against the vilains.

    The makers of Disappeared clearly only do the programme for money.
    As you can see, above, some of these people’s cases have been resolved (usually deceased) and some were resolved 10 years ago, yet these old shows are repeatedly shown without even updated info added to the end!
    Imagine the distress and heartache these repeats give to the deceased featured person’s family and friends. Yet the producers continue to have old, resolved, cases repeatedly aired without an addendum.
    A series of updates would be interesting, but they won’t even do that, as to not devalue their old solved episodes.
    Immoral and avaricious.

    You post
    In 2012, the year Satara’s episode originally aired, she was found safe in a Los Angeles hospital.

    On February 2, 2017 Satara Stratton was found deceased. The manner of death was an overdose
    PLEASE READ CORONER’S REPORT UPDATE CORRECTION.
    This is not an OD but undertermined, complications if human trafficking.
    If you want to post please do so correctly!

    Please bring back this wonderful show. It has brought closure to so many people with missing loved ones. We need more exposure to help find missing people. Just today I sent a request to the “Disappeared” show to help find a missing 25 year old husband and father who took a walk on Saturday July 6th, 2019 in Gering Nebraska and was never seen again. I was then informed that they didn’t think the show was on anymore. I hope they were wrong, and if not I hope you come back.
    Thanks

    I think the stories aired on syndication helps tells cautionary tales, let’s people appreciate and know/remember those who have passed, and teaches the rest of us to never miss an opportunity to let our loved ones know they ARE loved.

    I think this show brings a lot of knowledge to people, what to do in case you’re in the situation that a loved one goes missing and how easily remains of people are missed then found so close to where their vehicle or last know sighting was. It allows people to use the techniques others have been successful with to help in searches. I love the show and I appreciate the light it brings to the unknown grounds you walk on when you’re loved one happens to go missing, God forbid.

    The programme hightens awareness of such cases and how easily it can happen. Hopefully it also helps locate missing persons . Another programme called sensing murder uses psychic investigators to find evidence that is remarkable effective. Their skills coud be used in unknown missing cases too, especially when there are no leads.
