That's critical in these kinds of cases, right?

And I've seen that before in other stories that I have covered.

They have stayed for years.

Sometimes these family members have stayed on these cases and sometimes they can actually help with the investigation, right?

And something finally did jump out.

So they're looking over the evidence and it turns out Michelle actually had possession of

a whiteboard, her daughter's whiteboard.

To the credit for police, you can't just say like, wow, they just missed this glaring thing because she was an artist.

And you see, you know, this, I mean, I guess it is possible that just could have been doodling that was not significant at the time, but it turned out to be quite significant.

They get this whiteboard, and they see this dentist, and then they begin looking in her life to find out who is Dennis.

Is there anybody in her orbit who is a dentist?

And initially, it doesn't make any sense.

Family members don't know anybody.

they begin to comb through her phone records and they eventually track down this guy dennis rosa roman a 19 20 year old kid who is known in the area to be a low-level drug dealer mostly marijuana but they think he does know her we don't think his name dennis was in her contacts but

And they so they finally do with Dennis Rosa Roman.

They bring him in for questioning.

And you see in our 2020 episode.

He was a little slippery.

You know, he starts off saying he doesn't know her.

The interview, interrogation, however you want to frame it, sort of goes on.
