(7-15-26) The Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office remains dedicated to pursuing every available avenue to find justice for Roger Parent Jr. and bring long-awaited closure to his family.

In an effort to keep his story in the public eye and generate new leads, our office recently reached out to and collaborated with a popular true crime podcast. Hosts Nic and The Captain from True Crime Garage spoke with us to gather factual information and background details regarding Roger’s unsolved case.

We want to extend our sincere appreciation to them for taking the time to speak with us, shining a light on this case, and helping us keep Roger’s memory alive. They have released a special episode detailing his murder, and we encourage our community to listen, share, and help us get people talking about this case again. (see attached video)

Please Note: While the hosts utilized official information provided by our office to build the foundation of the episode, True Crime Garage is an independent podcast. The show includes their own unique commentary, personal takes, and opinions on the case, presented in their signature casual and conversational storytelling style. Our main goal is to ensure Roger Parent Jr. is never forgotten. It only takes one small piece of information to break a cold case wide open.
