Crystal Rogers was a mother of five who vanished from Bardstown, Kentucky, in July 2015. Her car was found two days later, abandoned on the side of the Bluegrass Parkway, keys in the ignition, phone and purse still inside.

Since then, her case has become one of the most talked-about unsolved mysteries in Kentucky.

This episode takes you through the tangled web of suspicion, grief, and unanswered questions that have haunted her family for nearly a decade.

From the strange behavior of her boyfriend, Brooks Houck, to the shocking murder of her father, Tommy Ballard, just over a year later, I cover the moments that kept this case in the headlines and the town on edge.

After years with no arrests, everything changed in 2023.

If you’re drawn to true crime cases with twists, long-awaited justice, and families who never gave up, this is one you won’t want to miss.
