On January 29, 2011, Bethany Anne Decker (née Littlejohn;[1] born May 13, 1989) left her grandparents' home and returned to her apartment in Ashburn, Virginia. Her then-boyfriend, Ronald Roldan, claimed he saw her there later that day. She has not been seen since.
While Decker did not show up at her job or classes she took at nearby George Mason University, her absence was not noted for another three weeks as messages to her friends, purportedly from her, continued to be posted on her Facebook account.[1][2] After her family noted her physical absence, they found her car parked near her apartment. Apart from the Facebook posts, there had been no other evidence she had done anything since the day she was last seen. They reported her missing to Loudoun County Sheriff's Office. Decker was five months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Extensive searches have found no trace of her or the child she might have given birth to.
Roldan, a Bolivian national with a criminal record,[3] was arrested in North Carolina in 2015 and charged with the attempted murder of another girlfriend after he shot her during an incident in 2014; he has not said anything about the Decker case. After she recovered, the victim claimed on the Dr. Phil show that he had made statements to her that might implicate him in Decker's disappearance.[4] Roldan pled guilty to two lesser charges in 2016; after he served his sentence, he was expected to be deported. Instead, he was charged with Decker's abduction upon his release in 2020 and returned to Loudoun County.[5][6] The incident has been the subject of a segment of the Investigation Discovery channel series Disappeared.[7] On November 17, 2022, he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in relation to her disappearance.[8] On February 21, 2023, he was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison, plus 27.5 years suspended.[9]
