in 1989 there were less than 600 people that called this place their home and virtually all of them were middle class americans most of them were farmers or factory workers or they worked in one of the very few small businesses in town while wilshire was certainly not the most exciting place to live it did have a reputation for being a nice place to raise a family it was a tight community of people that looked out for one another one family that was part of the wilshire community in 1989 was the rogers family they consisted of the parents hal and joan joan went by joe and they were both 36 years old and they had two daughters michelle who was 17 and christy who was 14. hal and joe had met in high school joe was very outgoing and popular and hal was reserved and quiet but despite their extreme differences they actually complemented each other very nicely and they seem to bring out the best in the other by their senior year joe had become pregnant with michelle and so after graduation the teen couple got married and they moved into a dairy farm to start their life together and a few years after that christy was born and their family was complete over the years hal and joe worked extremely hard on their farm but it just wasn't enough to pay the bills so to make ends meet joe had to get a second job working nights at a factory where she drove a forklift and worked the assembly line while life was certainly not very easy for the rogers family they always found a way to stay positive and upbeat the girls were very popular in school and made friends easily and when they were home they were always goofing around with the farm animals that they loved as for the parents they always carved out time every week where just the two of them could sneak off and get breakfast or dinner together but their simple happy way of life would be shattered later that year when it was discovered that hal's brother john who actually lived with them in a trailer on their farm property had secretly been assaulting michelle for the past three years michelle hadn't told anyone because jon had threatened to kill her but when inappropriate pictures of her turned up inside of his trailer his horrible secret was out jon went to jail for a very long time but the damage he left behind was unbelievable michelle couldn't even talk about what happened to her meanwhile hal her father was just beside himself he could not believe that right under his nose someone was harming his daughter and that it was his own brother doing it he wanted to kill his brother but his brother was in custody so he couldn't and making the situation even more painful hal and john's mother wound up siding with john she believed michelle was lying and it set john up and she began saying this publicly and it spread all throughout town it was just an absolute tragedy through and through and hal and joe had no idea how they were going to recover from it that's when the idea of a vacation came up take the kids away from this farm away from this drama let them be kids again let them be stress-free even for a couple of days it will do them an enormous amount of good and so hal decided he would actually stay back at the farm and just joe and the girls would go it would be a girls trip when joe told her daughters they were ecstatic they had never been on a vacation before and in fact neither had joe joe told the girls that they needed to plan out this trip pick the place they wanted to go plan out the itinerary but keep in mind they had to drive wherever this vacation was going to be and their budget was going to be fairly tight the girls decided on florida and for weeks they meticulously planned their itinerary trying to maximize sightseeing opportunities both on the road trip and also at their destination finally on may 26 1989 the day had come for the girls to head out on their journey they said bye to hal and then they loaded up into the light blue family sedan and they were on their way the trio drove south for about eight hours on i-75 through ohio kentucky tennessee all the way to georgia which was their halfway point they found a motel they crashed there for the night and then the next morning they got up early and they finished their trip all the way into florida and for the next couple of days they followed their itinerary and went to amusement parks and zoos and other attractions all over the sunshine state they were really having a great time in fact on may 29th joe sent a postcard to hal that she kind of jokingly said the girls are dragging me all over the state all i want to do is relax but the tone of the message was really that she and her kids were having a wonderful time on june 1st the girls left orlando florida and made their way to tampa florida where they planned to go to one more amusement park before they had to turn around and head back to ohio hal had been told they would be back on june 3rd but when june 3rd came and went and the girls did not show up in ohio hal was not immediately concerned hal was very restrained and composed he almost never showed any emotion so when things didn't go to plan he didn't panic he just assumed that joe and the girls had decided to stay a little bit longer they had each other and they would be fine and he would see them in a couple of days but over the next couple of days the girls did not show up and they never communicated with hal and so on june 6th hal went to the police and he reported his family missing the police investigation was slow at first because there was a general belief that these women had decided to just stay out longer because they didn't want to come back to this dairy farm that now was home to a lot of terrible memories after this revelation about their uncle but two days after hal went to police everything changed that morning a motel maid in tampa florida noticed something odd about room 251 she had cleaned it earlier in the week and made the beds and put the towels up and moved the occupants luggage onto chairs and tables so it was nice and neat and now she was coming back to clean it about a week later and the room still looked exactly the way it did when she had cleaned it the beds were still made the towels hadn't been touched and the luggage was positioned around the room just as she had set it up so she tells her manager who thought it was strange enough that he called the police and told them about it the police in tampa went out to this motel and they discovered that room 251 was registered to missing people joan rogers and her two daughters michelle and christy the motel manager told police that the trio had checked in on june 1st but after that no one had seen them the police searched their room and they found their camera and the final two pictures that have been taken were taken inside this motel room one was of michelle crouching down rummaging through her suitcase looking like she's getting ready to go out somewhere and the other was taken from inside their room looking out over their balcony out towards tampa bay as the sun was beginning to set the rest of the search of the room did not turn up any significant evidence all they knew was the women were not there and so using the motel as a center point they began searching the area and pretty quickly they found joe's car parked a mile away from the motel near a public boat ramp joe and her daughters were nowhere to be found and initially there was nothing inside or outside the car to indicate where they might have gone but upon closer inspection they found two brochures sitting on the floor of the car and on each of them was some handwriting the first brochure had a note that was clearly written by joe and it was directions to the boat ramp where the car was parked on the other brochure the other note the handwriting was not joe's or her daughter's it was some other person's handwriting and that one was directions to the motel where joe and her daughters were staying the police had no idea who wrote the second note so they started by focusing on joe's note the directions to this boat ramp specifically they were looking at the last couple of words in her note where she wrote blue with white and investigators assumed what this meant was when she got to this boat ramp using these directions she needed to look out for something that was blue and white and what would be blue and white at a boat ramp boats and that's when the police made a terrible connection four days earlier the coast guard had made a discovery out in the bay about 25 miles away from where joe's car had been found at the time no one was connecting this discovery to the three missing women from ohio because no one in tampa knew about the three missing women from ohio but now that they did know about them the connection was obvious while it would take three years to finally put all the pieces together the police would eventually figure out what happened to joe michelle and christy on the morning of june 1st they got in their car and they left orlando and made their way to tampa when they got to tampa they couldn't find their motel so joe pulled over on the side of the road and she got out her brochure that had a map of the area and as she's studying her map trying to figure out where she is a man approaches the car he was white he was in his 30s he was average height average build he had blonde hair and a mustache and was just overall kind of unremarkable and unthreatening and so he went up to the driver's side window and joe rolled her window down and he said to her you know are you guys lost i see your ohio license plates and you're pulled over here i'm from the area can i point you in the right direction and joe would say actually yeah we're lost we can't find our motel do you know where this motel is and this guy would say oh yeah i know where that is here give me that brochure and i'll write the directions down for you so joe hands the brochure up to him and a pen and he writes down directions to the motel they're staying in and then after he gives it back to her joe thanks him and he says hey you know would you guys want to come out on my boat tonight and watch the sun set out on the water you know it's beautiful and joe and her daughters thought you know what this guy's friendly he's helpful he seems pretty nice sure we'd love to go with you and so this guy says great i can't wait to see you and he proceeds to give joe directions of how to get to this public boat ramp where his boat is and so she takes notes on the other brochure as he's talking and then he tells her also you know when you get there tonight look out for my boat it's blue and white and so she makes the note blue with white and after that she thanked the man not only for giving them directions but for his generosity to allow them to come out on his boat with him that night and as he walked back towards his car joe and her girls followed his directions to their motel they got there around 12 30 p.m they checked in and then after that it's not really clear how they spent their afternoon whether they went to the beach or a park or something like that we don't know but at 7 30 p.m they were spotted leaving the motel restaurant and then after that they went up to their room for a little while to get ready for their trip out on this boat with their new friend and as they were getting ready putting their bathing suits on and shorts and jackets joe or christy got out the camera and they took a picture of michelle as she was crouched down getting ready and they also took a picture of their view from the balcony out over the bay as the sun was starting to go down after they were all finally ready they put everything away in their room they headed down to their car and joe drove them the mile over to the boat ramp where they parked they saw the blue and white boat and their friend was on it waving to them and then sometime between 8 30 and 9 pm that night the women boarded the boat and the man took them out into the middle of the bay exactly what happened out on that boat out on the water is not entirely clear but what we do know for sure is that at some point their new acquaintance turned on them and he almost definitely assaulted all three of them and then after he was done he tied them all up he tied their ankles together and he tied their arms together behind their back then he put a strip of duct tape over all of their mouths but he kept their eyes open he wanted them to see what he was going to do and then he went into his boat and he pulled out three 30 pound cinder blocks and he set them on the deck in front of the three women so they could see what he had and then he got three long stretches of rope and he tied one end of each of these pieces of rope to each of the cinder blocks and after each cinder block was securely fastened on the end of these long lines of robe he would tie a noose on the other end of each of these lines so there were three nooses and three cinder blocks then he grabbed one of the women he stood them up he put a noose over her neck he tightened it down he walked over to the edge and he pushed her off along with her cinder cinderblock and so as she is struggling to stay above the water her loved ones are in full view of her they're watching this happen and then at some point she sunk below the water and didn't come up again at that point the man grabbed another woman stood her up put a noose on her neck tightened it and then brought her to the edge pushed her in the water along with her cinder block and just like before the last woman on board the ship had to watch as her loved one struggled and eventually sunk below the surface and then at that point the man grabbed the last woman he stood her up put a noose on her neck tightened it and then pushed off the edge along with the cinder block and at some point she too sunk below the surface and did not come up again and at this point the man just turned around and drove back to shore like nothing had ever happened on june 4th so three days after the three women were killed because of decomposition their bodies had bloated and they floated to the surface the coast guard was alerted to their position they pulled them out of the water but because of their extreme decomposition at this point because of the warm water they weren't able to id them during their autopsy they found water in each of their lungs which confirmed they were alive when they were thrown in the water a few days later when joe's car and those notes inside of the car were located near the boat ramp and the police began to speculate that she along with her daughters must have boarded a boat before they disappeared that was when they made the connection that unfortunately these three missing women are probably the three unidentified bodies that have been found in the bay a few days earlier so on the day they make this connection the police call hal back in ohio and they request the dental records of his wife and his daughters and those records would confirm his worst nightmare his entire family was gone the man who killed his family was a guy named oba chandler who was a suspected serial killer who liked to brag about his date with three women in 1994 he was found guilty of murdering all three of the rogers women but he never took responsibility nor did he show any remorse for nearly two decades oba sat on death row and not once did he get a visit from a friend or a family member nobody wanted to see this guy and then finally a little after 4 p.m on november 17 2011 so roughly 22 years after oba had murdered the rogers women he was led into the execution chamber inside of florida state prison after he was strapped down to the gurney a curtain was slid aside so the witnesses of the execution could see him and then at 408 pm hal rogers watched calmly from the front row as the man who ruined his life oba chandler was put to death by lethal injection so that's going to do it guys if you found the secret in today's video let us know in the comments what it is
