At age 9 Lorie also drowned in a lake while swimming with her friends. She was missed very badly by her family and friends. Richard Roberts Died of unnatural causes in 1999 the cause may have been brain cancer but the record is still unfound. The last known location was in Midland Michigan but the location is from 1989 so is also makes for a shady disappearance.

The family crest is the lion with the sword with the motto Ewich Ymlaen which has the direct translation to Go Forward. The lion has always held a high place in heraldry as the emblem of deathless courage, and, hence, that of a valiant warrior. It is said to be a lively image of a good soldier, who must be "valiant in courage, strong of body, politic in council and a foe to fear." Through the somewhat dubious legend of their compassion, lions also came to symbolize Christ. As one medieval author asserted, "they prey on men rather than women, and they do not kill children except when they are very hungry." The lion, with such repute of its noble nature and having the position and title of king of the beasts, is naturally one of the most common heraldic symbols on the continent of Europe. The winged lion is the emblem of St. Mark. The red in the crest symbolizes Excitement, energy, passion, desire, speed, strength, power, heat, love, aggression, danger, fire, blood, war, violence, aggression, all things intense and reverence. The white symbolizes purity, simplicity, cleanliness, peace, humility, precision, innocence, youth, birth, winter, snow, good, sterility, marriage (Western cultures), death (Eastern cultures), cold, clinical, sterile. The black symbolizes Power, sexuality, sophistication, formality, elegance, wealth, mystery, fear, evil, anonymity, unhappiness, depth, style, evil, sadness, remorse, anger, underground, good technical color, mourning, death (Western cultures). The Roberts Family had a shield that was carried by the knights but the pictures are unavailable. The family also had battle hymns
A Norman was the ancient sire of all the Roberts Tribe: His seed was sown in England where they greatly multiplied; The Roberts are all loyal to their faith and family pride! The clan goes marching on!
Chorus
Glory to the tribe Robertus: Glory to the name Roberts! Glory to our grand old family! The tribe goes marching on
The family name remains out in the open unlike the ring and certain members. But they will eventually be found and the ring will eventually surface.
