On July 12, 2004, 62-year-old Bob Roe was found beaten and stabbed to death in his home in Center, Indiana. Investigators described a savage attack and signs of a violent struggle; there were no signs of forced entry. Some of his custom-made jewelry was missing, prompting a theory of a robbery gone wrong, but no clear motive has been established.

Roe owned a fast oil-change shop in nearby Kokomo and was remembered as a generous, social man with no known enemies. His murder became one of three similar killings in Howard County between 2004 and 2005—Janet Yeary and Theresa Cooper were also beaten and stabbed—but authorities have not publicly linked the cases.

No arrests have been made and the case is cold. Did anyone in Center or Kokomo know Bob Roe well enough to recall unusual visitors, reports of missing jewelry, or other details from July 2004?
