Who's Who: Demarco Roach - Cara's Boyfriend

Demarco Roach is the on again, off again boyfriend of Cara Beckerle. Initially, he was thought to be Aleah's father but he is not. He is the father of Aleah's youngest sister.

 Demarco is 41 years old, born January 28th, 1976. According to one of his Facebook profiles (he has three: 1, 2, and 3), he attended Harrison High School in Evansville, IN. Little is known about his work history but what we do know is that he has a long line of criminal history.

Demarco has 53 cases in his name according to Doxpop.com and 50 of those are criminal cases dating back to 1993 when he was just 17 years old. Cases range from small infractions like public intoxication to felonies like criminal confinement, battery, burglary, etc. There are too many cases to list so I will list a few that are relevant.

Relevant Criminal Records:

11/18/2003: Battery by means of a deadly weapon (case 82C01-0311-FC-01225)

01/30/2007: Domestic battery, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia (case 82D02-0701-MC-00088)

08/2/2007: Dealing in hash oil, hashish, or marijuana and neglect of a dependent (case 82C01-0708-MC-00746)

02/10/2010: Dealing in hash oil, hashish, or marijuana (case 82C01-1002-FD-00206)

03/25/2013: Criminal confinement, strangulation, battery resulting in bodily injury to a pregnant woman, and intimidation (case 82D02-1303-MC-00448)

11/21/2014: Unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, possession of methamphetamine, possession of paraphernalia, possessing a look-a-like substance, and 2 counts of habitual offender (case 82C01-1411-F4-004756)

03/21/2016: Domestic battery committed in presence of child under 16 (case  82C01-1603-F6-001633)

06/17/2016: No contact order with Cara Beckerle, Aleah Beckerle or the minor child who is not his daughter (case 82C01-1606-MC-001333)

06/21/2016: Unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, habitual offender and 3 counts of criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon (case 82C01-1606-F4-003580)

I consider these cases relevant because they show a consistent pattern of behavior. It's quite clear from his history that he is a drug dealer and he has violent tendencies. All cases listed with the exception of the March 2013 case list Cara Beckerle's address as his home address. Now whether that's true is another story since records often don't get updated but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, the final case listed is the one in which Demarco fired shots in the Beckerle home just a few weeks prior to when Aleah disappeared.

Some people have speculated that Demarco killed Aleah, possibly when he fired shots in the house and others question whether someone killed Aleah as revenge to Demarco.

Who's Who: Cara Beckerle - Aleah's Mother

In an attempt to clarify who is who in Aleah's life, I am going to write a series of posts on the key people in this case. Who are they? Where do they live? How are they related to Aleah? That sort of thing. Up first is Cara Beckerle, Aleah's mother.

Cara Beckele with Aleah

Cara Beckerle is 37 years old, born on October 30, 1978. According to her Facebook profile, she graduated from Harrison High School and also attended Ivy Tech to study Phlebotomy and Medical Assisting. She is the mother of 3 children - Aleah Beckerle, C.R., and M.R. (initials only for the other children since they are minors). She lives in the 400 block of Iowa Street in Evansville, IN.

Cara has been the subject of a lot of controversy. Her on again, off again relationship with Demarco Roach (a convicted felon, more on him in another post) has caused many to wonder why she allows dangerous people to be around her children. Her criminal past has made many question whether she herself could have hurt or killed Aleah, given a pattern of recklessness in regards to her children.

Relevant Criminal Records:

8/17/2005: 2 seatbelt violations for a child age 4-12 years old (case 82D05-0508-IF-11917)

9/18/2005: Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in a manner that endangers a person (case 82D05-0509-CM-06229)

01/06/2007: Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in a manner that endangers a person (case 82D05-0701-CM-00124)

08/01/2007: Dealing in marijuana and neglect of a dependent (case 82C01-0708-FD-00855)
Case note: during a court ordered drug test, Cara tests positive for Benzodiazepines which are commonly used to treat seizures

Another source of controversy for Cara is her lack of searching since Aleah disappeared. Many state that she has only been at searches at which the media is filming and she has been MIA at all other searches. At the beginning, her family claimed that they were told by Texas Equusearch that close family should not search. Later, they reveal that Cara had a life-saving surgery in Indianapolis in mid-June 2016 that limits her ability to search.

Even this surgery has had some scrutiny, with some believing it didn't happen at all and others stating it occurred at an earlier date than stated. Because of this, family released a graphic photo of the surgery in the Bring Aleah Home group (post link). This seems to have been done for shock value since a hospital bill from the correct date and hospital would have been enough proof for most people.

Cara has done several interviews since Aleah disappeared and her behavior and words have also been scrutinized. One news station released raw footage of their interview and Cara starts off by saying "Let's just get this over with, I don't want to sit here longer than I have to..." and viewers have noticed that she seems to worry more about people seeing her dirty house than about pleading for Aleah's safe return. You can see the raw footage of the interview below. This is the original version of the video. News 14 deleted the original version and uploaded an edited version that removes a small portion.

I'll let you decide what to make of that video but if you have some negative feelings towards Aleah's mother, you're definitely not alone.

Cara has been spotted in public several times since Aleah disappeared and every appearance has been met with more anger by the public. She has been seen at a wedding, at Chuck E. Cheese, the mall, Walmart, and several other places. Reportedly, she does not seem distraught and she even has photos where she is smiling and having a good time.

I'm trying to stay neutral, but I really can see where the anger is coming from. What do you think?

Is Cara acting like a mother who is desperate to find her missing child?

Two Months Gone and No Suspects in Aleah's Disappearance

Aleah Beckerle has been missing since July 17th, 2016. The police have followed over 300 tips and have come up short. Three people have been arrested for beating a man into falsely confessing to the abduction. Search leaders have come and gone. Search groups are dwindling. Rumors are swirling. Yet, no sign of Aleah and no one has come forward with any information that has lead anywhere.

If you're reading this, please take a moment to share one of Aleah's missing posters. Someone knows something and maybe your post will be the one that finds Aleah.

Despite what you feel about the family (and yes, I feel it too), Aleah is still missing and she deserves to be found. If she is deceased, she deserves a proper burial. If she is alive, she deserves to be removed from whatever situation she is in and put somewhere safe. Either way, she deserves JUSTICE. You don't have to donate money or search with the family but you can keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious going on and search your own property and areas that you think she may be.

If you aren't from Evansville or can't leave your home, you can still help by sharing the flyers and keeping Aleah's name out there.

Aleah Beckerle, 19 years old, disabled - MISSING from Evansville, IN since July 17th

Aleah Beckerle was reported missing on July 17th, 2016. She is 4 foot 10 inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. She is 19 years old and disabled. She cannot walk and requires a wheelchair. Police said she was last seen 9 p.m. Saturday, July 18th a black T shirt with the words "Dance Theater" on it (source).

This blog is about Aleah's disappearance, everything that has happened in the past month (and beyond) including what the mainstream media will not talk about. Everything is backed up with sources although some may not be reliable because they are social media posts from friends and family. I will refrain from wild accusations but I may add my opinions at times.

If you have any information you would like me to add, please comment or email 812sleuther@gmail.com. I will only post if there is a source for the information but feel free to discuss theories and rumors in the comments.
