Murder In The Rain22 Jun 2021

Abnormal, Wrong, Unnatural, And Perverse

When a lesbian couple went missing for three days in Medford, Oregon, concerns for their safety were immediate. Roxanne and Michelle were partners and vocal supporters of gay rights. When their bodies were discovered, it led investigators down a path of destruction left behind by a homophobic man obsessed with an exotic dancer who had already committed another hate-fueled murder mere weeks before he was caught by police. Today’s story is about the murders of Roxanne Ellis, Michelle Abdil, and Scott George- those that lost their lives due to hate, fear, and judgment.

Stay tuned at the end of the case today as we will be joined by Nancy Duffy, the executive producer of Forensic Files 2 on HLN for an exclusive conversation where we discuss how they were able to safely make a new season of our favorite true crime series even during a pandemic, the challenges they overcame and she’ll even share some clues with us as to what kind of mysteries we can expect from the new season!
