REPLAY: The Disappearance of Lonene "Lonnie" Ray Rogers

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.
