2 Louisiana Cold Cases FINALLY Solved

For decades, the murders of Roxanne Sharp and Selonia Reed haunted communities across Louisiana. Families waited. Investigators searched. And year after year, the truth remained buried.

In this episode of Twisted Crimes with Chris and Heather, we examine two chilling cold cases that seemed destined to remain unsolved forever. Sixteen-year-old Roxanne Sharp vanished in 1982, only to be found murdered days later in a wooded area near Covington. Despite decades of rumors, dead ends, and false leads, a combination of DNA technology, renewed investigative efforts, and even a local podcast would eventually help uncover the truth more than 40 years later.

We also dive into the heartbreaking case of Selonia Reed, a young Louisiana mother whose brutal 1987 murder left her family searching for answers for over three decades. What began as a baffling mystery eventually unraveled through forgotten evidence, witness testimony, and a cigarette butt that waited years to reveal its secrets.

These are stories of persistence, forensic breakthroughs, and investigators who refused to give up when everyone else had moved on. They are also powerful reminders that even after decades of silence, justice can still find its way home.

Viewer discretion is advised. This episode discusses homicide, sexual assault, and graphic details related to criminal investigations.
