CBC radio 'Missing & Murdered' Who killed Roberta Williams?

MISSING & MURDERED from CBC RADIO. Roberta Williams was a Native/Indigenous young woman who went missing back in 1989. Her dead body was found weeks later off the "Highway of Tears" in Canada. She was nude from the waist down and sexually assaulted. 

The 8-Part Podcast covers a lot of ground concerning Roberta's life up until her disappearance. Connie Walker reports and discovers many truths after interviewing those who are still alive. It has been more than 27 years since Roberta's murder and no one has been arrested. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a suspect and the man won't speak and there is no real evidence connecting him to Roberta's murder. He was seen leaving a bar with Roberta when she disappeared. 

What's interesting here is the memories of those people who saw Roberta leave that bar. It varies, but the main suspect is always mentioned. Unfortunately, Roberta isn't the only Indigenous woman who had gone missing or was murdered along Highway #16. That's what makes this podcast intriguing and sad.

“The Widow on Solway Road.” The state of Tennessee 2003.  Raynella Leath found her husband David Leath shot dead in his bed. There were 3 gunshots. The first shot was in the bed. The second shot was in his forehead. The third shot was in the bed head-board behind him. Raynella says he committed suicide. The police believed it was murder. Raynella’s finger prints weren’t on the gun. She also claimed that David was suicidal and withdrew from life. She was arrested and charged with murder in 2009. That first trial became a “mis-trial.” Prosecutor’s re-charged her in 2010 and she was convicted, but only served 6 years behind bars. That case was thrown out because the judge at the time had a drug addiction during the trial. The third trial began in 2017. 

Raynella’s first husband Ed Dossett supposedly died from an agricultural accident in 1992. He was trampled to death by cows on his farm. She became known in the small community as “The Black Widow.” Ed had cancer, but if his death was an accident. His wife and kids would gain a huge life insurance payout. His autopsy showed that Ed died of a massive overdose of morphine. Prosecutors charged her in the death of Ed, but dropped it when she went to prison after being convicted in David’s death. 

Did Raynella murder her two husbands? Or was she just an unlucky woman?
