EX Officer Nick Houck FULL Interrogation from 7/15/2015

EX OFFICER NICK HOUCK'S POLYGRAPH TEST RESULTS

Mother of 5 Crystal Rogers has been missing from Bardstown, KY since July of 2015, last seen by then boyfriend Brooks Houck. Nobody had ever been charged with her disappearance, but the FBI never gave up the search.

Mid October 2022 they finalized yet another search of the Houck properties, and have new evidence that could propel this case forward and give Crystal Roger's family the justice they deserve!

Let's take a look at where we are now...

The FBI took over the investigation of this case in 2020, and have since conducted multiple searches in and around Bardstown.

There were more than 150 federal agents that served search warrants in August of 2020 at three different sites owned by the Houck family, focusing primarily on the family farm located in Bardstown, owned by Brooks Houck's mother.

In 2021 the FBI searched a subdivision where Brooks Houck owned properties. They even dug up a driveway and hauled the debris off in trucks. When the 2021 search was concluded, the FBI stated they found several "items of interest" that were sent to the lab in Quantico Virginia for further testing.

The must have found something, because on September 27th, 2023 Brooks Houck was indicted with the murder of Crystal Rogers and tampering with evidence...He is being held on a $10 million bond.

Brooks filed a motion to reduce the bond, and it was denied. He is now being held in the Oldham County Detention Center.

2 Other men, 53 year old Steve Lawson and his son, 32 year old Joseph Lawson were also arrested in connection with the disappearance of Crystal and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and complicity to tampering with physical evidence.

If Steven Lawson sounds familiar, he was the man that Brooks mentioned and called during his interview with detectives. And something about that call didn't make sense to the detective conducting the interview.

Investigators are still looking for evidence to link the Houck's with the death of Crystals father Tommy Ballard and also with the ambush death of officer Jason Ellis in May of 2013...

The FBI is awaiting test results to come back on the firearm they believe was used in the murder of Tommy Ballard, a firearm that was purchased from Nick Houck, who used a fake name when he sold the rifle.

At this point, nobody has been charged with either of those deaths, and Crystals body has never been found.

Brooks Houcks next court date is set for February of 2024, and we will update you with any pertenent information.
