Betty Roberts, 67, was found dead in her Fort Worth home on February 13, 2012, after neighbors requested a welfare check when she hadn’t been seen for a couple of days. Officers pronounced her dead at the scene and early investigation described the death as an apparent homicide. The Fort Worth Police Homicide Unit canvassed the neighborhood and collected evidence; neighbors reported hearing unusual noises in the early hours but no clear suspect information emerged.

With few solid leads, the case was later transferred to the Fort Worth Cold Case Unit. Detectives have periodically reactivated the investigation hoping that new witness testimony or advances in forensic technology might produce answers. If anyone remembers anything suspicious around that address in February 2012 or has information that could help identify Betty Roberts’ attacker, please come forward. Would anyone reading this recognize details that could move the case forward?
