The Timeline May NOT Be What Everyone Thought... #rogerhueber #crimejunkies #truecrimepodcast | Forensic Files

Even though it doesn't seem like anyone saw Sheryl get into that car, like that is what makes the most sense
to me. Like with with the canine scent ending there. >> Yeah, and if she gets in a car, then she
probably went off with someone she knows. >> Presumably. I mean, that's what I would
think. But it would seem like that couldn't have been Roger because we find out he always had an alibi. He was
supposedly with his and Sheryl's daughter at the movies that night. Like he had her that night. That's why Sheryl
was alone at her apartment when she went missing. But here's the thing. So, for years,
right? We've thought he had an alibi. We actually spoke to their daughter for this episode. We talked to her about the
night her mom went missing. And she dropped this huge bombshell. She said, "Yes, they were supposed to go to
the movies, but that movie night got canceled." Roger ended up dropping her and her
brother off at their grandma's, like Roger's mom's [music] house. Which means there was a stretch of time
where from her point of view, Roger was on his own. Or at least she doesn't know where he was.
>> But would Sheryl have actually gotten into a car with Roger? >> I don't know. I mean, but like who's
saying that she got in the car willingly? >> I guess why else would she have been at
the skating rink? >> Well, that I don't know have an explanation for because I mean, it's not
like it shares a parking lot with her apartment complex or anything. Like like it's like across this like major road.
So, I agree. Like if she went that way, >> intentional. >> Yeah. >> For a reason.
>> And the thing is like if you remember, we know she called her mom when she heard that someone was looking to serve
her with a subpoena. But the huge unanswered question I have is like who else might she have called when her mom
didn't pick up? The current investigator wouldn't even confirm for us whether they even pulled
Sheryl's phone records, much less like what they showed if they did. >> Okay, but if you're going to call
someone to meet you or pick you up like why not just have them come to your apartment? Like why meet at the skating
rink? >> I don't know. None of it makes sense and [music] maybe it's because like that
didn't happen. Maybe the scent that tracked her was old or maybe it didn't track to like the skate rink at all cuz
we tried to verify this detail with the current investigator and all he would say is that dogs were used in that
initial window when Sheryl was reported missing. But he couldn't say that the trail was ever concretely verified.

For years, many believed Roger Hueber had an alibi for the night Sheryl Rucci disappeared.

Sheryl and Roger's daughter shared a detail that raised new questions about that timeline. She said the planned movie outing never happened. Instead, Roger dropped the children off at their grandmother's house, leaving a period of time where, from her perspective, she doesn't know where he was.

The episode also explores unanswered questions about whether Sheryl got into a vehicle willingly, why investigators have been unable to confirm details about a reported K9 track, and whether Sheryl's phone records were ever obtained.
