The source provides an extensive account of the 2011 disappearance and murder of Bethany Decker, a pregnant college student from Virginia who vanished after meeting with her ex-boyfriend and coworker, Ronald Roldan. Initially stalled for years due to a lack of physical evidence, the homicide investigation gained crucial momentum in 2014 when Vickey Willoughby, another woman who had survived a brutal assault by Roldan, came forward. Willoughby's testimony—specifically Roldan’s chilling admission to her that he had previously made a girlfriend "disappear"—allowed authorities to pursue him, eventually leading to his 2020 extradition and 2023 conviction for second-degree murder. The text details Roldan's controlling behavior, his efforts to cover up the crime by impersonating Decker online, and the emotional toll the decade-long search for justice took on Bethany's family. Ultimately, the narrative highlights the pivotal role of survivors in solving cold cases and addressing the dangers of intimate partner violence.
