Was She Dating a Serial Killer?! #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

Interestingly, Jolita and Rowena's husband [music] Thomas both remember that Rowena was dating a guy named Rob
about a year before she died. This Rob even lived with her briefly [music] out in San Marcos, Texas when she split with
her husband. So, of course, we're like, do you remember his last name? >> And listen, both of them were like, you
know, this is going to sound crazy, but we remember the last name Brown. And Jolita said she met this boyfriend Rob
once. So she looked at a picture of serial killer Robert Brown and was like, "It kind of looks like him." Oh my go.
But both Jolita and Thomas are the first ones who told us like, "Listen, please do not trust our memories 100% on this
one. Like it is very possible things have gotten twisted up over the years." And Rowena was dating this boyfriend Rob
like several months before her death. And they were living together in a totally different town. So, it feels
like a bit of a stretch.
