Shownotes Transcript

#235 - Roxanne Wood was murdered inside her Berrien County home on February 19, 1987. Her throat had been cut. Her husband found her dead after the couple had driven separately to go bowling, and Roxanne returned home first.

The case went cold, and although Michigan State Police reopened it in 2001 and again in 2020, it remained unsolved. That is until students in Western Michigan University’s cold case program got involved.
