After watching you're show, I couldn't believe how in denial the sister and ex wife had said. I understand the accused was the father of the one womens children and the other womens brother but come on, get real. I bet even if the sister seen him verbally and even once abusive to Becky she would STILL defend him just like the ex wife pretty much did with their relationship. Sorry it seemed the ex totally was covering up for him when she explained about the incident of him pushing her down the stairs . My ex bf was sometimes abusive, not as abusive as Becky seemed to had it but enough that he physically pushed me around, was very jealous and CONTROLING, and everyday mentally abusive. He once pushed me down 5 stairs outside at my friends house. My friends mother seen it and I was in denial about it and tried to justify it and say he didn't mean to do it it was an accident he is just mad. From then on it only happened once in awhile were he physically did something. It is possible his sister wouldn't of seen his abusiveness side and that he was a real gentleman, kind, funny man in public and in front of family and friends but there is A LOT of abusive relationships where no one has any idea parents or best friends. Maybe he did not murder the girl no one will know until it is proven but the controlling, jealously acts is OBVIOUS and the mother had proof even, 50 calls in 10 minutes is RIDICULOUS. God Bless to both families. I hope they find the truth.
 
I AM VERY PROUD OF ALL THAT YOU A STRONG BLACK WOMAN HAVE ACHIEVE OVER THESE YEARS. AS FAR AS YOUR SHOW GOES YOU ARE GETTING BETTER. THANK YOU FOR BRING PRIDE BACK TO THE BLACK RACE AND NEVER FORGETTING WHERE YOU COME FROM.
 
The mother is just believing what she wants to believe. Technology is so advance that forensically different types of blood can be identified even when they are mixed together. The DNA profiles of the blood can also be identified. I know this because I have been taught by a Forensic Scientist. Bruises and physical traumer can be seen in pictures and video tapes and by anyone. Broken noses and head traumer was not discussed as being evident in pictures. I have had broken ribs before and a broken back and I can tell you it is almost impossible to do anything let alone breathe. If Carl did kill Becky then he would have been charged with the murder or even the abuse. There is NO FORENSIC EVIDENCE THAT SUGGESTS OR EVEN CONVICTS HIM!!!!!!!!!!. Help clear Carl's Name, I don't know him but from watching this show i believe he is innocent.
 
Hi Miss Tyra! I wanted to write you an e-mail, but I can't find it on the web site; watch it be right infront of my face lol :) Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that you're my role model. You're beautiful on the outside, but what makes you shine the most Tyra, is the beauty you have on the inside. What you have on the inside is gold. I want to thank you for all times you've inspired me, and made me laugh. Don't ever change! You are perfect the way you are. If I lived in America, I'd be in the audience every single day :). Love always Sarah Isabella. xox
 
Stunned in Illonois, I agree with you! Tyra I felt like your interviewing skills were quite tacky and biased. You pryed Carl's family and even questioned when they were telling you their side of the story. However, when it came to Becky's family it was clear that you sided with them. You didn't ask Mrs. Kramer about why didn't she take her doctor to the hospital when she came home with "broken ribs." Does anyone know what broken ribs feel like? Its quite painful, no one can just be placed in the shower and not be taken to the hospital after such injuries. There are many things in their story that you could of questioned and touched on. Instead I felt like judged the situation and completely were biased. We, the audience wanted to know both familie's sides, not your bias opinion Tyra.

Hello there, well what can i say? I am 14 years old, and this show really got to me. It brought back so many flashbacks. My father hitting my mother,and my sister and i just hiding....scared. My mom is my hero, she is so courageous. She is my strength,my life, and my heart. She went through all that pain, in the hopes of my sister and i having my father in our lives. was it worth it? NO! She has taught me that NO WOMAN should be abused...mentally,physically,nor emotional. My mother got out of that relationship,and she makes me so proud =]I have matured from this experience, and I just wanted to share it.
 
Willy, if you DID watch the show today you would know that Carl took his own life, so he cannot be arrested. I for one am really sad that Carl took his own life. I met Carl a few years ago and he seemed like a nice young man. I am also sad for the life that was taken from Mrs. Kramer. Carl was afraid of facing something, either way he felt there was no way out. Only God knows......
 
My apologies I didn't see the entire show. In that case I'm relieved. Carl will never harm another person again.
 
I saw the show today and was very disturbed with how you interviewed your guests, specifically the ex-wife and sister of the deceased accused. I was reminded of the movie Rosewood. This is a movie where this white women was having an affair with a man in the town, the man beat her up and left her staggering down the street. When confronted by her husband SHE said she was raped and beat up by a black man. Because of what SHE the white woman said, all of the town's black men were persecuted and consequently killed and ran out of town. In this country especially Wisconsin if, the police had any evidence against Carl for killing or allegedly killing Becky, a white woman. Carl would have been thrown under the jail, and history has showed us this. You did not ask Becky’s mother: • if her daughter ever filed police reports • if seen any bruises on her daughter • if she had any past interactions with the accused • if she seen that the accused was volatile, verbally abusive towards her daughter • if she witnessed the accused having an explosive or threatening temper • where is her grand daughter You did however ask Carl’s sister • If her brother was violent • If her brother was verbally abusive • If her brother was volatile • If her brother killed the woman How is it that a women without a body say a crime was committed and • Post flyers for five years blaming a person of a crime • Have two graves dug up • Have a man’s house searched several times by police • Have a man’s best friend followed and his email hijacked • Have a man called by a group of as many as
 
It's good to see that the police, detectives, and the FBI frequent Tyra's site. It's easier to say one thing but if the evidence does not prove that Carl (who is deceased) did the crime than it remains allegations. I am a strong believer that all woman in abused relationship should get help. Family and friends if you suspect that your loved one is in a compromising situation and their life is at risk, get them some help before it is too late and your left playing dectective like the Kramers.
 
I was married to a man from 1974 until 1989. We had 2 children together. I was beaten, choked (including to unconscousness), sexually abused and emotionally abused. I also got to look down the barrel of guns on more than one occassion. In spite of Carl sister and his ex wife claim that his children were with him and Becky as a defense is truly meaningless. Our children lived with us and were unaware of the abuse taking place. They were 12 and 8 when I divorced their dad. The day I filed for a divorce, the hospital took about 20 xrays of my face, head and back. There was no way to explain that away. People who knew us were surprised, they said they thought we had a perfect marriage and never suspected anything. He has been married more than once since then, and gone to jail on frequent occassions. To this day he denies that he has ever done anything wrong to me or any of his former wives, or girlfriends.
 
Tyra, I watched the show today and I must say that although I love you and admire what you are doing with your show I felt that you were a bit bias to the situation. From watching the show I felt like you sided with Becky's family. That wasn't your place. Your place was to allow both families to tell the world their side of the story. And based upon simply watching your show and listening to both stories I find questionable things on both side, and that is probably very well why the D.A. never had enough evidence to prosecute Carl. As far as Becky's mother, I will pray for her and hope that everyone continues to pray for both families because the truth lies with Becky, Carl, and God. It seems like no one will ever know what truly happened in disappearance of Becky. It is an extremely difficult case. And my heart goes out to both families. I hope that find some type of peace.
 
Tyra, I dated Carl Rogers back in the end of 2002. He came to visit me and then 3 months later I went to visit him. After I came home and about 3-4 months of long distance relationship I was almost convinced to move to Wisconsin. He then stopped calling me. About a year later he called me apologizing for not keep contact. That year he didn't call was the time he was involved with Becky and then her disappearing. Weird huh? He was a nice guy and seemed like a real family man and a jokester like his sister and friend said. But I could never figure him out and I knew he had a lot of secrets. I freaked out when I was watching your show and saw his picture on the TV. I really hope the case comes to an end soon. I think his sister is trying to just cover for him and not be open to the other side of the story. I thought he was fishy more and more as I got to know him and WOW am I glad I didn't move to WI!!!
 
After watching your show, I see that the females in Carl's family are in denial, I was with a man that beat me, and he never admitted, acknowledged that he ever beat me, it was too shameful for this man to admit what he did,beat a woman, his family would cover for him, and in the end he turned on his own family, he was violent towards them, when he didn't have a punching bag around for his use. Those women need to help find closure and help find this missing woman. They are just as guilty of not telling the truth as the killer, cause in their hearts the know the man killed this woman.
