Crime in the Coalfields

Sister Roberta Elam: Part Two


Listen Later

The second part to the case of Sister Roberta Elam. A Postulant Catholic Nun, Sister Roberta Elam was brutally strangled to death in a park near Mt. St. Joseph Mother House in Wheeling, West Virginia. Despite being a relatively sparse case from a time with little in the way of DNA evidence, there are more possibilities lying in wait. This episode dives into several possible theories, some well developed and others less so. These theories form the only unique possibilities for this case. With so little to go off of, people have taken it upon themselves to theorize what happened to Sister Roberta: in many cases ignoring the main suspect. Izzy and Harper discuss all the options for one of West Virginia's most well-known cold cases.
