Okay, so the other day, I was watching some true crime stuff, and this case popped up about a guy named Roger Reister. It got me curious, so I started digging around to see what happened to him after the whole ordeal. Here’s what I found out.
It all started on May 24, 2001. This Roger guy, who was a US Army Captain, called 911 and straight-up told them he had killed his wife, Lynn. Can you believe that? When the first responders got to his place, they found Lynn lying unconscious on the floor in a pool of her blood. It was a mess.
Now, Roger claimed he and his son, Triston, came home to find Lynn like that. But later, he confessed to the whole thing. However, when it came time for court, he pleaded not guilty. Classic, right? They ended up sending him to prison anyway.
What I Did
- Searched online for news articles about the case.
- Checked out the show “Shadow of Doubt,” which covered the story.
- Looked into court records to see Roger’s plea and sentencing.
- Tried to find out where Roger is now, like which prison he’s in.
With Roger locked up, his son, Triston, had to go live with one of Lynn’s sisters. Imagine being that kid, finding your mom like that, and then your dad goes to jail. Rough stuff.
So, where is Roger Reister now? Well, from what I gathered, he’s currently serving his time at the TDCJ Memorial Unit in Brazoria County, Texas. He’s been there for a while now, and it doesn’t look like he’s getting out anytime soon.
It’s crazy how one moment can change everything. One minute you’re a family, the next, your wife’s dead, your dad’s in jail, and you’re off to live with relatives. Life can be so unpredictable.
Anyway, that’s the story of Roger Reister. A sad and messed-up situation all around.
