"The person that went missing, due to my investigation, I know was involved in a narcotics trafficking, with a group of people that are responsible for what took place," said the case detective, James Oden.

The drug, specifically, is methamphetamine. Recently, there was a major crack in the case.

Jacksonville police say their search for Roberson has led to dozens of other arrests.

“Last year on April 1, we arrested 20 - I think there was 27 indicted and we arrested 20 something people here in Jacksonville - in an early morning roundup. That is a direct result of this investigation into his death,” Oden said. Oden says Randal Roberson did have a drug-related arrest but his mother says he was working to turn his life around.
