Killer Roommate Pretends To Be A Victim, Until Cops Discover Her Horrifying Secret

Discovery of Michelle Johnson's Murder

• 🚨 Michelle Johnson, 21, was found stabbed to death in a shed behind her Stow, Ohio home on March 15, 2014, after her mother reported her missing.
• 🔑 Roxanne Buck, 44, Michelle's roommate and a family friend, was the last known person to see Michelle alive and was immediately brought in for questioning.

Roxanne's Inconsistent Alibi and Drug Use

• 💬 Roxanne claimed she last saw Michelle at 12:45 p.m. on Friday, March 14th, shortly after Michelle's last Facebook post.
• 💊 She admitted to buying drugs three times that day, including during the critical hours Michelle went missing, and had ongoing issues with drug use.
• ⚠️ Roxanne sustained a hand injury that she attributed to an aluminum can, but forensic analysis later suggested it was consistent with a knife slip during the stabbing.

Mounting Forensic Evidence Against Roxanne

• 👣 Investigators found waffle-patterned shoe prints near Michelle's body that perfectly matched Roxanne's shoes.
• 🩸 Bloodstains were heavily concentrated in Roxanne's basement living area and laundry area, indicating Michelle was killed somewhere near Roxanne's room.

Confrontation and Conviction

• 🗣️ Michelle had messaged a police officer, whom she was seeing, about her intent to confront Roxanne about her drug use just hours before her death.
• 🚫 Despite overwhelming evidence and inconsistencies in her story, Roxanne repeatedly denied involvement in Michelle's death throughout her interrogation.
• ⚖️ Roxanne Buck was ultimately sentenced to 15 years to life for murder and an additional 3 years for tampering with evidence on October 21, 2014.
