Rogelio Escobar, 65, was last seen at his Houston home on Prudence Drive on August 26, 2018. Family alarmed when his sister, 61-year-old Dina Escobar, went looking for him on August 28 and also disappeared. Dina’s van was later found abandoned and burned on a beach near Galveston, but neither sibling was found at first.

Investigators later determined both siblings had been killed. Their nephew Ramon Escobar, who had been living with Rogelio, confessed that he fatally struck Rogelio during a dispute with a police baton and then hid in Dina’s van and strangled her when she came searching. The siblings’ bodies were recovered from a landfill.

Ramon fled to California, where he was arrested and later sentenced to life without parole for the murders of Rogelio and Dina, among other killings. Did anyone in Houston know Rogelio or Dina well enough to shed light on their last days together?
