One Shoe in the Drainage Ditch: The Roger Rafferty Case

A man found face-down in a drainage easement, one brown oxford still on his right foot and the left foot bare - his wallet with $42 and a Sunoco card untouched - and a blunt-force wound to the back of his skull. Thirty-seven years passed with a dried blood sample from a parking-structure wall and a missing shoe as the only stubborn clues; what finally shifted the case decades later?

In this episode, we lay out the known facts of Roger Rafferty’s disappearance and death, the scene found by Terry Sloane on May 14, 1983, and the stalled investigation that followed, asking whether inventory disputes, a suspect seen nearby, or the unidentified blood sample held the answer that prosecutors could not prove.
