answer the first question and tell about the second one thats how i meant it i realized i looked like an under educated fool i have 2 years of college and went to grundy. lol

i think he might have been the killer but i voted yes and if he was the killer he had help i was born a few years after it happened and had brenda ratliff as a teacher that he pulled his pecker out on at the libary on a table he was crazy from that alone but 1981 and dna being used kinda funny many people gained from that trail go in tom scotts office and he has the guilty verdict newspaper framed it launched him to the top lawyer in the state and he has stayed there he also got a very nice home from another murder.

well i do know how big of a joke our county law is now if they were always like that its hard to tell who did it. does anyone remember if the state or fbi was called in im sure somebody with some sense was i wouldnt want our county to investigate a frog getting eat by a snake.

DNA evidence proved that Roger was guilty however I do have a theory about the whole thing though. Roger maintained his innocence throughout the entire thing. Having heard from people that know Roger I think he suffered from multiple personality disorder. I believe that yes Roger's body was present and physically done the crime but I believe mentally it was one of the different personalities that actually carried out the crime.

I have read the book about this murder, and I don't think Roger Coleman committed this crime. The only thing the evidence proved was that he had sex with her. There were to many witnesses the day of the crime that saw Mr. Coleman and in the book it talks about how her husband would always check on his wife when he got home from work and on this night he returned home from work and the porch light wasn't on and no other lights were on in the house and trash was scattered around the house, so with this being said if you went home and you always know your wife has a light on, wouldn't you go inside and make sure everything was okay, then go back outside and pick up the trash? Another thing that happened when the husband entered the home he didn't step in any of the blood and the body had been dragged, seems like you would gave stepped in something your noticed the floor being wet, and when he finally discovered the body he didn't call the cops he called his father, and the reports showed that she was still breathing for a while because there were bubbles in the blood coming from her neck. Finally the water I'n Grundy was up that night and reports said that Roger was scene running and went through the creek but we all know if you go running through water than there would be splash spots on your pants, and on Roger there was nothing found. I have lived in this town my entire life and I don't think he did it, I think the husband came home and saw them having sex and Roger ran away and then the husband killed her.

What is the title of the book and the author? I would like to read this book, too. This was a very intriguing case, so many people divided in their beliefs as to his guilt or innocence.

A book is only someone's opinion and maybe someone more interested in selling books than presenting the facts. Sensationalism sells books. The people who prosecuted that case staked their reputations on their interpretations of the evidence, and they were right. It took a few years before the DNA Evidence put it all to rest. The incident at the library was only one indication that Mr. Coleman would at some time in the future be a problem to be dealt with. The verdict is in, and Justice is served.

I read the book as well. It was written by someone who was helping to defend Roger Keith Coleman. While, I do have questions as to what actually took plave that night, the book is not a good source of accurate information. I have known Mrs. McCoy's family my entire life, and when small details such as her mother's name and Mrs. McCoy's maiden name are incorrect it speaks about the acccuracy of the information.

he was there. That girl was almost be-headed and raped by probably inbred perverts. He fkn Lied!!!

Roger Keith Coleman was guilty. Her blood was on his pocket knife, his blue jeans as well. His own grandmother said he tried to wash the blood out of his jeans would not come out. He said he skinned a squirrel to get the blood on his pocket knife. He failed a lie detector test. Poor girl got justice in my opinion.

Roger didnt kill ne 1 .......... the cops knew it to thats all this place is full of heck with drugs clean out the dirty cops

To getalife This is not about drugs you dumb sob. it is about a murder in Buchanan Co. You know a whole lot about Murders in Buchanan don't you.Roger did it alone. He should of already of gotten the electric chair before he killed her because he was a dangerous pervert from a young agejust waiting for the right opprotunity. The cops didn't have a thing to do with it you ignorant bastrd.

My theory is:
Roger Coleman really didn't have a motive to kill Wanda McCoy but the husband did. Roger and Wanda were having an affair. Roger had been there that night and Wanda had fed him dinner because the two plates were still on the table and if I remember correctly is was spagetti. The husband comes home and finds them together and snaps. Roger is able to get away but Wanda pays with her life. Roger being married to Wanda's sister took the truth to his grave because he knew that Wanda would never have wanted her sister or her family to know she was capable of such an act. Roger always maintained that he never killed Wanda but he knew that his actions contributed to her death. I have seen the husband speak and you get a sense of someone who has ice in their veins. I think the husband justifies what he did in his mind with the fact that she betrayed him and feels that Roger got what he deserved. The police were very eager to charge someone with this murder because the citizens of Buchanan County were in such fear and needed their minds put to ease. I remember as a kid at how scared we all were. It was the end of innocence for us and we started keeping our doors locked especially at night.

If she was having an affair with him why had she faught him so hard that her finger nails were broken off? Roger had coal dirt on him , Brad the husband didn't. She had coal dirt all over her and under her finger nails.She was killed by a coal miner . Brad didn't work in the mine.

It was investigated by the Virginia State Police, I remember seeing the mobile crime lab at the scene, I'm not sure about the F.B.I.

this county can cover anything up tina stiltner died in the county jail and all the evidence is gone does anybody know the truth about this crime and if so why dont they come forward we need justice not lies.
