Viewer discretion is advised. Some may find this content disturbing. This is a documentary I found interesting.
1. The Jan Roseboro story
Police were called to the Roseboro residence in Reinholds, PA on the night of July 22 2008. There they found a scratched Michael attempting to revive a brutally beaten and possibly-drowned Jan. An autopsy on Jan’s body later revealed that she’d been strangled, bludgeoned, kicked and punched, then thrown into the pool in the Roseboro’s back yard.
Jan’s death may have been the first homicide in Reinholds history.
Court documents later revealed that Michael Roseboro, a funeral home director in Denver, PA, was having an affair. In fact, he may have been with his mistress hours before his wife’s death.
Police won’t say what they believe motivated Roseboro to kill his wife.
Michael Roseboro is being held without bail in the Lancaster County prison.
2. The David Harmon story
In early 1982, the 25-year-old David Harmon worked at an Olathe bank. His 24-year-old wife served as secretary for the dean of students at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe. There she struck up a friendship with a student and campus leader, Mark Mangelsdorf.
The friendship evolved into intimacy and talk of what their lives would be like if she weren’t married. That Feb. 28, the marriage ended violently. Raisch told police that two intruders entered the couple’s duplex and demanded keys to the bank where David Harmon worked. She claimed that they knocked her unconscious, and when she awoke her husband was dead.
Police considered her story dubious from the onset but could not gather enough evidence to file charges.
Raisch and Mangelsdorf went their separate ways. She ultimately married and settled in Ohio. He earned a master of business administration from Harvard University, got married, and was working as a New York marketing executive when Olathe police reopened the investigation in 2000.
The break in the case came after two detectives traveled to Ohio to talk to Raisch.
She changed her original story, telling them only one intruder had existed. Although she didn’t see his face, she believed he was Mangelsdorf.
In 2003, Johnson County prosecutors charged her with murder. They later charged Mangelsdorf.
After a jury convicted her of first-degree murder, prosecutors worked out a deal for her to testify against Mangelsdorf in exchange for a plea to second-degree murder. Mangelsdorf followed suit and also pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
In 2006, each was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison.
