Date:  February 7, 2009

Location: Harrisonville, Missouri 

 

Investigators on Scene:

Misty and Brenda

Victim

Name: Cara Jo Roberts

Age: 30

Date of Murder: November 5, 2008

 

 



Known details: Family members say that Cara was putting together a toddler bed for her son in her home. Her 2 year old son was with the babysitter. When Cara failed to pick up her son, the babysitter called her husband. Her husband found her body in the bathtub around 5:30 p.m where she had died of a gunshot wound. Police said it did not appear that there was a forced entry nor were any items missing from the home. There was evidence that a struggle occurred before her death. The insurance company that Cara worked for had folded the previous Friday and it was rumored that Cara was to be a witness concerning an investigation of some fraudulent involving the insurance company. The possibility of a murder-for-hire quickly became the talk of the town. A neighbor assisted in providing a sketch of a suspicious man seen briskly walking in the neighborhood on that day and is considered to be a person of interest in the case.

The Kansas City Homicide Squad is called in to assist in the investigation at the Roberts home.

Sketch provided by a neighbor of a suspicious man seen in the neighborhood. This person is considered a person of interest in the crime.

If you have any information concerning this case, please call the tips hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.

A $21,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this crime.
