John Roberts had been living at the Motel 6 on Cataba Road in Hesperia with estranged wife, Julie Englehart (MP 72013) and daughter, Brooke Roberts (MP 72014), for about one month. On October 6, 2019, Julie told a relative she had found a job cleaning used trailers that were for sale and they were moving to an unknown location in Spring Valley Lake, California. No known persons have seen or heard from Julie, John or Brooke since that time.
