A very detailed and nicely written article:

"What happened to Roberta? 26 years later, her sisters still dont know"
In the early 2000s, Carol and another sister provided DNA samples, in case Robertas DNA or remains were found on the pig farm of now-convicted serial killer Robert Pickton. Pickton is currently serving a life sentence for the second-degree murder of six women. The remains or DNA of dozens of other women were found on his farm. However, neither Robertas remains nor her DNA were found or identified on the Pickton farm.
Carol has her own suspicions. She believes a man who committed suicide in 2005a suspected serial killer might be responsible for Robertas disappearance. She was, for a while, her own detective: clipping stories out of the newspaper, paying attention to peoples jaw lines, searching and searching the internet. But she has no proof.
