The heinous murder of Jan Roseboro led to the discovery of the affair between her husband and Angela Funk.
The story doesn't end there. No story like this ever could.
People have been devastated by the death of Jan.
People have been devastated by the affair between Mike Roseboro and Angie Funk.
Friends have discovered how badly they have been lied to and betrayed. Coworkers are now fully aware of why it seemed Angie always had to leave early or be excused for an appointment. Many wonder why it's ok that she used the company computer for clearly personal reasons, i.e. her emails to Mike and his to her.
The investigation prior to the trial led some husbands and wives to learn about things they had no idea of prior to the tragedy.
And in some cases, this was the icing on the cake.
Some have come forward from years past, to tell what they know or witnessed in the past with Angie. They still harbor anger and hurt.
There is destruction because of all that has gone on for many years.
There is even more devastation due to the affair and the murder trial.
It's clear that several people are still in denial.
Those that have finally admitted to themselves that they were used and lied to by Angie surely must know that feeling. Some very good and loving people held out for as long as they could, trying with all their might to believe her, to find an honest basis for her character and behavior.
They learned that their trust and faith was misplaced. And with heavy hearts they had to walk away.
That is the only way you can survive caring for a true Narcissist. You have to cut all ties and walk away. If you don't, the cost is unbelievable. The cost is "you".
To remain in any kind of quasi relationship with a Narcissist, you have to get real with yourself.
You have to admit that they are empty shells, devoid of empathy or the ability to love. They have no identity.
So you must lower your expectations to zero. You cannot expect to get any normal return of emotion or character from them. If you do, you will be crushed.
They will take from you with total abandon, oftentimes holding something you value over your head to make you "walk the line" with them.
For some, that seems to be the way they are dealing with all of this.
If they just let it all go, and make no demands of Angie, and have no expectations of her (the normal expectations we all have from fellow human beings to love, have compassion, empathy, remorse) they can be allowed to be in her world.
If they don't she will either banish them or take away something they cherish.
Everyone that has loved or dealt with a Narcissist deals with two levels of grief.
They deal with the realization the Narcissist really does not love them in any true sense. They are incapable.
And they also have to mourn the loss of a relationship with the Narcissist that they "believed" existed. The Narcissist isn't the person they believed them to be, hence additional grief.
It takes incredible inner strength to deal with a Narcissist. It hurts. Badly.
And for some, they just want to pretend all is well with the world. And for them, that is the only way they can survive and face another day. The alternative is too daunting.
So they make excuses for the Narcissist, allow them to run ripshod over everyone and everything.
But it gets them from today to tomorrow.
Others rage against the Narcissist when they clearly see how the others are apparently fooled by the Narcissist. They are frustrated by the false show and the way some eat it up.
It's the Emporer's new clothes syndrome.
But these folks see that the Emporer is naked. And ugly.
And they want the others to see that too.
The murder and the affair can't be separated.
Nor can you part out the ripple effect this has had on people all over the county.
It's what we've been told about for a year now.
Pain and devastation, everywhere she goes.
There's no stopping that. But those who are dealing with the aftermath now have to face a decision. They can either continue to rail against the injustice or they can save themselves and just walk away.
It's a serious decision.

Angie Funk's Show.....A Poor Attempt At Keeping Her Eye On The Prize
Angie's backed against the wall as I type...Lie after lie is being told or else she simply replies, "I don't remember."
Did any of us really expect her to give up any truth? No.
Apparently her tight alibi isn't quite so tight. I maintain that the only reason she has yet to be charged is the lack of enough evidence to secure not only an indictment but an iron-clad conviction.
With the evidence against Mike circumstantial, if he walks, he can never be charged again for killing Jan.
If they forged ahead and prematurely charge Angie the same thing could happen.
It's bad enough that it could happen with one of these evil shells but for both of them to get away with murder would just be too much.
This is one of the most depraved situations most have ever heard of.
Clearly Randy is still harboring strong feelings for Angie, while Angie is harboring strong feelings for Mike's money.
And in the middle of this muckfest are all the children.
For what all of them have done, they should be incarcerated so they can't hurt them any further.
Angie is pedalling as fast as she can to end up on top, and to end up Mrs. Angela Lynn Roseboro.
I think it is very important that she was asked how far her home is from Jan Roseboro's home.....
pay attention here.
That wasn't a filler question to kill some time.
There is WAY more to this story and I pray to God that the investigators and Mr. Steadman at least suspect it. They have the rest of Angie's life to dig up more evidence. And stranger things have happened. In other cases, people have come forward long after the fact. Evidence has been uncovered that beforehand was unknown.
Mike really ran into a doozy this time. And I hope that sooner or later they both pay for their part.
Mike said he would give up everything he had to be with Angie. Good job Mike, at least there you're a man of word. You've lost it all already. And the barracuda in those sexy white pants still has a firm chomphold on your ass. Right where your wallet used to slide into your rear pocket.

A Few Questions Now Answered in The Roseboro Murder Case
Given the sheer amount of speculation that continues to swirl around the Roseboro murder case, it isn't easy to review what has been made public and then readdress some of the questions.
Reviewing it all in some cases just leads to more questions.
Only at the trial will the details of evidence be made public, and with each new revelation i.e., Angela Funk's pregnancy and claim that the child is indeed Mike Roseboro's, the strategy must change, even if just a bit.
Some facts that have stood out after a close review of all press conferences, the Affidavit of Probably Cause, etc. :
The murder occurred on July 22, 2009. Only after the completion of the autopsy on July 23, 2009 was it clear that it was a homicide.
The scene was fully released to Mike Roseboro after a walk through the night of the tragedy and wasn't resecured until after the autopsy and the appropriate filings to obtain a search warrant.
Mr. Sodomsky was retained by the Roseboro family "shortly after his wife's death". That is a direct quote from the defense attorney. They wanted the best and they called him. Quickly.
It is noted that they literally went to the top of the heap. If it was clear that this was a robbery/killing, then I wonder why they sought out perhaps the number one defense attorney of record? I believe that they weren't just making sure that Mike was protected under the letter of the law, but they were actively seeking a master of strategy. Simple legal defense was far from what was clearly needed from the start.
Angela Funk and Mike Roseboro spoke on the telephone within one hour of the estimated time of Jan's death. Estimated times of death are not exact nor are they precise. That call could have happened immediately prior to the attack and murder or could have been going on at the time events began to unfold. It was stated by the DA that within one hour of the estimate time of death of Jan, Mike told Angie Funk that he was leaving his wife for her. If the call had been completed within that hour, do the cell towers show the proximity of each person participating in that call?
Mr. Sodomsky has reported that "the family" claims that approximately $40,000 worth of jewelry were missing from Jan's effects when the body was released after autopsy. He clearly stated that it included a necklace and rings. That jewelry, if Jan was wearing it, would not have been removed prior to autopsy. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at ECH. If the jewelry was indeed present, the nursing notes will include a detailed description of each and every piece of jewelry she was wearing. Testimony of the first responders may detail if any jewelry was noted at the time of her treatment. In many cases, ACLS and responders have been accused of stealing jewelry, cash, wallets etc. from patients. In most cases those accusations are unfounded and I have no doubt as to the integrity of the responders who cared for and tried to revive Jan Roseboro. I am hopeful that they have a recollection, at least and documentation, at best, as to any jewelry present. If the jewelry was present while Jan was reading by the pool, would the approximate hour and a half alone with her husband have given him time to remove the jewelry after the fact, setting up his claim of a robbery/killing?
And was it only AFTER the body was released to the family that Mike suddenly realized the jewelry was gone? He stated that he pulled Jan to the side of the pool, apparently up and out of the water, tried to give her CPR, which requires tilting the head back, giving breaths and chest compressions and at no time did he notice THEN that the jewelry was missing? He appeared so calm to the responders that they remarked about it. He wasn't too overcome with emotion to be unaware of anything as significant as his wife's rings and necklace being gone?
Mr. Sodomsky stated that anyone that knew Jan knew that she always wore the jewelry that is now claimed to be missing. Why didn't Mike tell the police the jewelry was missing that night?
He would have noticed. If he was pacing around the pool area, watching them try to revive Jan, wondering who on earth could have done this to his wife, I think he might have noticed if her necklace and rings, and more were gone. If it was a part of what made her, her, Mike would have noticed. I would imagine I would have and I've have pointed that out to the police immediately in my frantic pleas for them to find the monster that did this.
I do have to mention that the lack of a mention of Mike's claim that the jewelry was stolen on the Affidavit of Probable Cause doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't make that claim. I do find it hard to believe that the DA would omit that. Normal procedure would be for it to be a part of the record and then state that his claims were unfounded. The Affidavit does state that there was no sign of forced entry or robbery, but doesn't mention any claim of missing items or jewelry.
Personally, I think that could be sticking point that might haunt them. It may be that the jewelry wasn't believed to be missing. But not mentioning a claim of robbery on the Affidavit or any other public record of the case looks questionable.
One other area of concern to all is the DA's public comment that they "have much work to do". That struck me as odd and was clearly mentioned by Mr. Sodomsky. I have to agree that usually the work comes first, then the arrest. Not the other way around. That public utterance by the DA may be another alligator waiting to bite him in the posterior.
The DA indicated that only after Angie Funk's safety was ensured by Mike's arrest did they feel secure in unsealing the court documents. Who believed that Mike would harm Angie? Was it the DA? Was it Angie? Given her desire to have a life with him, I doubt that she was gripped with fear. What prompted the DA to entertain the possibility of Mike "going after" Angie Funk once she had given information to the investigators?
It is clear that Mr. Sodomsky had disdain for Angie Funk and her claims of being Mike's mistress. He reiterated that the Roseboros had been married for nineteen years. What story did Mike tell his defense attorney at the outset to make Mr. Sodomsky make such unfounded statements? He called into question Angie Funks credibility.
How long did it take Mike to fess up to his attorney that what she claimed was the truth?
It has to be extremely difficult to represent a client that isn't open and honest with you.
Family members were uncooperative. That could mean several things. The children could have been shielded from interrogation, no matter how gentle. But why would any family member not want full disclosure of what anyone witnessed that night? Mike is the only person to claim that all three minor children were asleep. That can't be corroborated by anyone at time of the attack.
Not part of the public record but reported to some by those close to Jan is the notice of her being distracted and not herself at least from the previous Thursday prior to the murder. Was that indeed the day Mike informed her of the divorce to come?
It is also noteworthy that the wound on Jan's head was described as a puncture wound. To date, I haven't found any notations of a crushing skull wound. There is a vast difference between a puncture wound and a crushing injury. Was Jan backhanded by someone wearing a ring bearing the monogram "L"? Did Louis Roseboro, dapper and classy as he was, wear an insignia ring? Was it given to Mike? Just a few thoughts there. My thoughts. Not attributed to anyone.
I remember Louis Roseboro clearly and wish I could remember his jewelry.
It is clear that the DA doesn't support the theory that this was a crime of passion. He clearly believes it was premeditated. And in that light, the severe beating that Jan endured is even more ghastly.
I suppose that Mr. Sodomsky jumped the gun on worrying about a possible change in venue.
His description of the news and media coverage of the case being "extensive" was far less than even he expected.
This case will stay in Lancaster County.
Reviewing it all in some cases just leads to more questions.

Update:
I've had the night to sleep on it....I still want to know why Angie didn't want her blood drawn or not drawn until the birth of the baby. Her blood alone doesn't establish paternity of the child.
And all the DNA testing can be done by a buccal swab of all parties involved.
I wonder if the DA has had a DNA sample from Angie up to this point? Lipstick off of a styrofoam or paper coffee cup or cup of water she was given during questioning? A tissue she left behind, soaked in tears over the horrible situation of her lover?
Something just isn't right here.
I've gone back and reviewed it all. Angie is better at manipulating than doing the dirty work herself. But the beating that Jan Roseboro suffered was brutal. It smacked of a girl attack from the start. Angie? I'm not sure. Hired help? Maybe. They wouldn't have had the emotional intimacy to Jan to prevent them from hitting and kicking her the way she was before she was tossed into the pool. The beating indicated rage, hatred, frustration or a complete lack of emotional closeness with Jan.
And the clean up? If there was hired help, a "team" could certainly overtake Jan quickly and forcefully and then have the manpower to get the scene taken care of.
If Mike attacked Jan, I think he'd show more than scratches. I think she would have fought for her life.
We have very little if no blood. We have few if any attack wounds on Mike, received from Jan in defending herself. And what about that jewelry?
The jewelry may in fact be missing. It may be what was used to pay for the beating and murder.
Mike's flat affect after the murder is telling. I think he might have been a bit more emotional or hyped up had he been the only one to physically beat, strangle and drown his wife and then clean up like a mad man.
Instead he was calm. Maybe the enormity of what had just happened was hanging all over him like a wet blanket.
And it surely didn't take him long to drop Angie's name at Jan's funeral. He called her a girl that was "sniffing around" him, and that he wasn't interested.
When Jan's body was claimed by the family is when Mike claims the jewelry wasn't returned to him.
I am anxious to hear the first responders' testimony as to the presence or absence of the jewelry.
It is a matter of Nursing Standards and Practice that any jewelry would have been documented at ECH in detail, down to the color of any stones or gems and the color of the metals. The Nursing and Medical Staff there have never shown anything but professionalism and a keen eye for total patient assessment.
Just my thoughts today....
It really isn't adding up....
And I remembered one comment made by someone very, very close to Angie.....
When asked how Angie felt after the murder, the person, who spoke with her in person stated,
"She was sad. Over losing Mike."
No shame, no embarrassment, no begging for forgiveness of her husband, even if just to make herself look good.
She was still on track. Her eyes have never left the prize.
If she is capable of tearing her daughters' lives apart and ripping the heart out of her husband, stepping over them to get what she wants, why would she hesitate to do anything she needed to to get to Mike. Would Jan Roseboro mean anything to her? Doesn't appear that way, does it?
The Roseboro children and their heartache even at their family dissolving in a divorce court had no impact on Angie. There was no mention of she and Mike having concern over the kids when she testified. She did mention Mike's money though. That was important enough to be discussed. And she didn't even appear to be ashamed to say it in open court.....
There is something very, very wrong here. And the DA may have one accused or alleged killer in jail. But there's more to this story.....
But the little voice is talking, so I'm listening :)

When Common Knowledge Becomes The News
Today, the Lancaster Newspapers published a story acknowledging the pregnancy of Angela Funk of Denver. Angela Funk is the admitted mistress of Michael Roseboro, who is currently awaiting trial for the murder of his wife of nineteen years, Jan Binkley Roseboro on July 22, 2008.
Many have questioned why this wasn't published prior to today.
As I was told by an Editor of the Lancaster Newspapers, they publish when news is news, not word on the street or innuendo.
Due to the court activity associated with the Funk pregnancy, this is now a matter of public record.
It was also reported that Allan Sodomsky, the defense attorney representing Roseboro filed for a continuance.
This is now, even more than before, a tango.
As the State of Pennsylvania, under the guise of the District Attorney, takes a step forward, the defense takes a step back. And so the dance goes.
Perhaps Mr. Sodomsky was counting on Funk's counsel's success at blocking any serology testing until a later date. That hasn't happened so the defense needs to regroup a bit, which is not out of the ordinary.
With Sodomsky's success rate, the side steps and dips he orchestrates aren't random nor are they thrown against the wall to see what sticks.
Roseboro is in good hands as far as a knowledgeable strategist is concerned. Many pray the DA is up to the challenge.
So now, it's a matter of public record that Angie Funk is bearing a child due on April 1, 2009, and claims the child is Roseboro's. The DNA test will tell the tale.
It has been "word on the street" that Randall Funk, Angie's husband, did have a vasectomy.
At this point, as I've said before, we can only surmise that the unborn child is Roseboro's baby.
Angela Funk has a long and colorful history of promiscuity and usually with married men.
Odds are that it is Roseboro's baby, but I'll wait for the serology and DNA assays to remove all doubt.
As I posted earlier, if the estimated date of delivery is April 1, 2009, then Angie Funk may have clearly known she was pregnant by July 22, 2008, the day that Jan Roseboro was beaten and drowned.
Angie and Mike had sex in Mount Joy the day of the murder.
They also spoke on the phone not long before the murder.
If Angie knew she was pregnant and had already discussed leaving her husband and starting a life with Roseboro, I find it hard to believe that she hadn't told Mike.
Angie takes what she wants. And she wanted Mike.
Married woman do not get pregnant by accident when their husbands have had a vasectomy.
This was a well orchestrated plan by Angie Funk.
The DA indicated that their case is based on the belief that Mike needed an out and he needed it "now".
What was the rush?
The rush was the baby. The baby that Angie told him about.
I believe she pushed him into a confrontation with Jan that night.
The room was getting smaller for Roseboro. He had a wife and children, business and income on one hand. On the other he had his pregnant lover. Now the clock was ticking.
Everything could be managed in the end if Jan didn't try to clean him out, take him to the cleaners.
I don't think the conversation went well that night at the Roseboro home.
Things hadn't been okay for a few weeks.
Mike had already told Jan in the previous two weeks that he wanted a divorce. And Jan's friends clearly saw a difference in her mood and demeanor after that.
Did she have a gut feeling that he really meant it this time? Was all her efforts, pain and heartache to keep her family together a waste?
If Jan wanted to give it one last, sad try and refused to even discuss divorce with Mike that night, did he snap?
Did he see Jan standing there in his way?
Words can get heated. Did Jan tell him that she'd call his father and mother and put an end to this nonesense as she had in the past?
Was that the last straw for Mike? His pregnant mistress was so close...All he had to do was make sure the money was still his, and get free....
One person stood between Mike and his life with Angie. And that was Jan Roseboro.
What needs to be proven also is whether the attack and murder was actually premeditated or if Mike acted in the heat of passion.
Was the "tool" used to strike Jan in the head nearby, placed there in advance by Mike, orchestrating the destruction of this branch of the Roseboro family as we knew it?
Or did he grab it in a fit of rage, having been pushed to the edge by Angie, on the phone?
There are still some very questionable things remaining in this case. Hopefully they will be addressed at trial.
If not, we may never get the truth of what happened that night.
What family members was the DA referring to when he reported that some were being uncooperative?
What other phone calls did Mike make that night immediately after he claims he found her in the pool?
Were any other family members there when the first responders arrived?
Was anyone seen leaving the Roseboro property before the first responders arrived.
There are a few questions about the actions of those close to Mike in the hours and days immediately after the killing. Some people acted very out of character. In ways that others noticed.
Why didn't Mike go with Jan to the Ephrata Hospital?
Why was his affect so flat and calm?
Where is the blood?
Who in the family or close circle is close enough to Mike to consider helping him clean it all up?
I can only pray that the DA has those answers and will reveal them at the trial.
Only after that, if not answered can any of us voice what we now believe to be oddities in the aftermath of the murder.
There is far more to this story than we know. I just hope there isn't far more than the DA knows.
Many have questioned why this wasn't published prior to today.
As I was told by an Editor of the Lancaster Newspapers, they publish when news is news, not word on the street or innuendo.
Due to the court activity associated with the Funk pregnancy, this is now a matter of public record.
It was also reported that Allan Sodomsky, the defense attorney representing Roseboro filed for a continuance.
This is now, even more than before, a tango.
As the State of Pennsylvania, under the guise of the District Attorney, takes a step forward, the defense takes a step back. And so the dance goes.
Perhaps Mr. Sodomsky was counting on Funk's counsel's success at blocking any serology testing until a later date. That hasn't happened so the defense needs to regroup a bit, which is not out of the ordinary.
With Sodomsky's success rate, the side steps and dips he orchestrates aren't random nor are they thrown against the wall to see what sticks.
Roseboro is in good hands as far as a knowledgeable strategist is concerned. Many pray the DA is up to the challenge.
So now, it's a matter of public record that Angie Funk is bearing a child due on April 1, 2009, and claims the child is Roseboro's. The DNA test will tell the tale.
It has been "word on the street" that Randall Funk, Angie's husband, did have a vasectomy.
At this point, as I've said before, we can only surmise that the unborn child is Roseboro's baby.
Angela Funk has a long and colorful history of promiscuity and usually with married men.
Odds are that it is Roseboro's baby, but I'll wait for the serology and DNA assays to remove all doubt.
As I posted earlier, if the estimated date of delivery is April 1, 2009, then Angie Funk may have clearly known she was pregnant by July 22, 2008, the day that Jan Roseboro was beaten and drowned.
Angie and Mike had sex in Mount Joy the day of the murder.
They also spoke on the phone not long before the murder.
If Angie knew she was pregnant and had already discussed leaving her husband and starting a life with Roseboro, I find it hard to believe that she hadn't told Mike.
Angie takes what she wants. And she wanted Mike.
Married woman do not get pregnant by accident when their husbands have had a vasectomy.
This was a well orchestrated plan by Angie Funk.
The DA indicated that their case is based on the belief that Mike needed an out and he needed it "now".
What was the rush?
The rush was the baby. The baby that Angie told him about.
I believe she pushed him into a confrontation with Jan that night.
The room was getting smaller for Roseboro. He had a wife and children, business and income on one hand. On the other he had his pregnant lover. Now the clock was ticking.
Everything could be managed in the end if Jan didn't try to clean him out, take him to the cleaners.

The Ambiguity Of The "Tool" And The "Letter L"
It has occurred to me that all of us that are following the course of events in the Roseboro murder case may be dealing with some misunderstanding or some ambiguity in the little facts that have been publicized to date.
Many of us have wondered about the mention of the "L-shaped wound" that Jan Roseboro suffered prior to winding up in the swimming pool of her back yard.
I know that I was one who tried to determine just what "tool", as the DA's office called it, would have left the impression of an "L" on a person's skull.
After numerous reviews of all that has been publicized so far, I think we "overthought it".
Not until the trial will we know the DA's theory in any concrete sense, but the articles and the quotes that have been published have not been clear and not all have been factual or true to quoting the person in the article.
At this point, it seems more factual to state that Jan Roseboro suffered an "L-shaped wound" to the area of her head behind the left ear. This wound "would have caused significant bleeding."
It wasn't stated clearly, ever, whether the wound was clearly in the shape of an L or if it bore the impression of the letter "L".
It is the former, apparently, not the latter.
It has been made public, however, that the authorities believe the wound to have been caused by a tool.
Many items, when used to whack someone in the head, from behind, can cause an L-shaped wound. A common 2X4 would do that. The edge and side are at a ninety degree angle.
But they have claimed it was a tool. Would a hammer do it? Would a level?
What common tools are found in most every household in America? What tools would be lying nearby, clearly accessible, in the home or by the pool?
If the events of that night were not planned, and Michael Roseboro "snapped", what tool could have possibly been nearby, benignly, just part of the daily life of a typical American family?
If Jan was attacked inside her home and then taken out to the pool, what tools did Michael Roseboro have that would have become an instant weapon of attack?
Jan Roseboro was struck from behind, by a person, wielding a tool, that left a bleeding wound behind her ear. That wound was L-shaped. That tells me it was a flap injury.
Cranial lacerations bleed profusely.
Was she struck with such force by the person wielding the tool that she flew into the pool as a result of the strike?
Were the wounds that appeared all over her body open or closed? Should anyone have expected those wounds to leave a great amount of bleeding? Or was the expected blood flow primarily from the head wound?
Kicking, beating and strangling Jan could have produced some blood, in all probability, just a small amount.
Did the fight take place by the side of the pool, where she was beaten and struck? And when she attempted to get away from her attacker, did he or she then grab the tool and strike Jan in the back of the head with sufficient force to throw her into the pool, unconscious? Or did the force of the strike throw her into the pool, injured but alert, where her attacker then forced her underwater until she was dead?
That would certainly explain the lack of blood evidence in any great amount.
When Jan entered the pool she was alive. But was she conscious? She drowned. That is a fact. But did the autopsy reveal any signs of her being held forcibly under the water?
There wasn't the need for an extensive clean up as many of us have surmised. There just wasn't that much blood outside the watery confines of the family pool.
And what little blood may have been flung by the attacking injuries, that clean up was minor compared to the optional possibilities.
The lack of blood evidence is what the defense is hanging Michael Roseboro's freedom and life on.
The lack of blood evidence is what the prosecution is hanging his conviction on.
There was no great clean up as we thought. Jan Roseboro bled into the pool for the most part.
Any additional blood would have been poolside, where the first responders found her, supposedly receiving CPR from her husband. We do know that she did shed a great deal of blood on the gurney once placed there.
But one question does arise....
Was that "tool" left nearby to be used when she turned her back? Was an argument or fight even necessary or expected? Or was Jan going to be bludgeoned and thrown into the pool by the force no matter the course of events that night?
Michael Roseboro had a phone conversation with Angela Funk that evening.
And Jan Roseboro died.
If not for the sheer brutality and number of attack wounds all over Jan's body, this may have looked like a slip-and-fall drowning.
One gash in her head could have been attriubuted to be the cause of a fall into the pool, with a resultant drowning. There may have been suspicion, but this also may have gone down in the books as a terrible accident.
If Michael Roseboro simply wanted to be free to marry Angela Funk and planned to kill his wife, why would he beat her so savagely?
If this was a premeditated murder, why didn't this case go the way of Laci Peterson, with state-wide searches and pleas for information? Jan could have just "disappeared".
If Mike wished his wife dead and planned for that, how easy would it have been to have staged a "suicide"? Their marriage certainly had enough heartache for some to wonder if she might have not been able to take any more pain.
The beating that Jan Roseboro suffered prior to drowning is a key element of this case and is screaming for attention. The beating that she suffered after her husband had a phone conversation with Angela Funk.
How much louder can that scream?

The Player or The Played? For real.
I posted a while back on a different site an op ed piece entitled, "The Mistress of the Game".
I've been doing a bit more research, much as I can until records are available, unsealed and completed by the upcoming trial. And what strikes me as more and more evident, is that Angela Funk orchestrated the chain of events that led to the brutal death of Jan Roseboro.
I was told by witnesses to Angie's behavior that she has always been flirtatious. The initial attention of any man was welcomed easily. Only later would she learn more about the strangers that gave her a second glance. If they seemed "a good catch" she would allow more attention and return it in kind. Others she knew about prior to the flirtations. If they passed muster, she was "in" for the run.
I asked about the married men that she had slept with in the past. In most cases, women are known to pursue married men because those men seem "safe". They are already married, legally and emotionally entwined to another woman. The mistress can have her fun and then walk away. No commitment, no ties, no washing dirty socks on Saturday for the guy.
But that's not the case with Angela Funk. She didn't pursue married men because they were "safe". She pursued them because they were "established". Most if not all had homes of their own, a steady job and some money in the bank. There would be none of that tiresome waiting for the guy to build up a bank account, qualify for a mortgage, get a raise, become financially solvent.
It was a ready-made deal.
Angela Funk has been on the career track.... but in her bedroom, not the boardroom.
She climbs the ladder....to the next mattress. Or funeral home office, as was the case until the horrible murder of 2008.
When Michael Roseboro approached Angela Funk about getting together she had a choice. Most married women don't accept invitations from men other than their husband. They may be flattered, they may feel a boost to their self-esteem that another man has found them attractive, but they don't take the man up on the offer.
Angela Funk did. And a whole lot more.
While they were having their first lunch date, Randy was working. Earning money to feed his girls and his wife. And to pay the bills.
While they were having lunch, Jan was being a Mom and a great member of the community. She was being Jan. Providing a happy home for her children and her husband.
Had Angela Funk had the character and morals to say no, Jan Roseboro would be alive today.
Yes, Mike would have chosen another chippy. But I don't think he'd have found one quite as cunning and devious as Angela Funk.
Angela smelled money. And prestige. She had plans.
Angela Funk was planning to leave Randy, sue him for divorce (or talk him into suing her and paying all costs) as well as filing for an exhorbitant amount of child support for the girls.
She would convince Mike Roseboro to leave Jan sooner rather than later. And she'd make sure that Mike didn't lose his money or his interest in the business because of it. Only seven weeks into the affair, Angela had already pointed out to Mike that Jan would clean him out if she found out about them.....
And only seven weeks into the affair, Angela Funk got her hands on the ticket out of her current station in life. Angela Funk made sure to maximize her chances of getting pregnant.
A baby on the way would be all she needed to put the push on Mike to leave Jan now.
The pregnancy was not an accident.
Mike was clearly in love with Angie, but as of July 22, 2o08 no real date had been set for telling the spouses about the ends of the marriages. Unbelievably, Mike and Angie had looked at wedding dresses, but the hard cold facts about getting attorneys and planning every-other-weekend child visits hadn't been settled.
That wasn't enough for Angela Funk. She considered herself lucky enough to have gotten the attention and infatuation of a "good catch" in Roseboro, in her eyes. And she wasn't about to lose her grip on him. Angela is a cheater. She knows how cheaters operate. She knows how short their attention span can be. She's cheated for years, on many people.
She knew in her gut that if things didn't move along, Mike would soon spot a younger, prettier, hotter woman. And Angela's plans to move up the ladder would be over.
None of us know right now just how Mike felt about Angela Funk. His emails, sappy and icky as they are, may be the truth of how he felt. We know he was sleeping with Angie often. From that we can only surmise he liked the sex.
But Mike has been a runner most of his adult life. He's been with women far prettier than Angela Funk. Women far more educated, far more interesting and far better off. Some wonder if those emails were just Mike...being Mike. Telling Angela what he thought he needed to tell her to keep her available and willing. She wouldn't be the first woman he's lied to repeatedly.
But in either case, no plans were set in concrete. The leaving of the spouses was still a nebulous concept.
Until July 22nd.
Angie and Mike had sex that day in her family's apartments in Mount Joy while her mother-in-law cared for her girls.
Phone calls were made between Mike and Angela several times after that tryst in Mount Joy.
On the evening of July 22nd, they spoke on the phone.
And Jan Roseboro died.
The phone calls are not insignificant! Angela said something that night that started a chain of events that left Jan Roseboro dead in her own pool.
Did she tell Mike she was pregnant? Did she know she was? Did she not know and lie anyway?
Did she threaten him? Threaten to stop seeing him, giving him an ultimatum?
Or did Mike balk at telling Jan anything? Did he plan to use Angela for fun, as he had other women? And if he balked, did Angela Funk decide no one was going to interfere with her plans?
Did she go to the Roseboro home that night?
Did she attack Jan? Or at least help clean up the scene?
It is entirely possible that Mike Roseboro met up with the player of all time. Angela may have played him into a corner he couldn't hope to get out of any other way than killing Jan. Or at least helping clean up the scene after a horrible attack from Angela.
If Jan Roseboro was killed by a random person, what are the odds?
I would say then that Mike Roseboro has the worst luck on the planet?
Could it be possible that Mike did not kill Jan?
Yes.
Is it possible that Jan was killed in a case of mistaken identity?
Yes.
It is all possible. At this point, not probable, but yes it's possible.
But in keeping with the odds, Angela Funk orchestrated the dance that destroyed lives all around her. The only life not destroyed is her own. With no morals, she can't feel the pain of all she has already lost.
She wears her illegitimate pregnancy like a badge of honor. She is deluded.
The other victims here are the children.
For what Angela Funk has done to all of them, the unborn, included, she needs to be held accountable.
I'd be terribly interested in finding out if there is a civil recourse that can be taken against her.
In the civil arena, she wouldn't need to defend to a reasonable doubt. Just a preponderance of the evidence.
Could her actions have led to the death of Jan Roseboro to a preponderance of the evidence?
I do think so.
And the only thing Angela Funk hates losing more than another woman's husband, is money.

Angela Funk: A Study In Immorality
It's been a while since I posted here, so I need to get up to speed.
Angela Funk, pregnant with Michael Roseboro's baby, has been reported to have visited New York City to meet with the reps from 48 Hours to televise the tawdry, horrendous tale of events involving Angie and Jan Roseboro's husband, Mike.
It has also been reported that Randy has been making noises about leaving her. Family members have challenged that report. They state that Randy is "lead around by the nose (or other body parts) by Angie and her mistreatment of him hasn't diminished.
So currently, Angie is pregnant, Mike's trial date is July 6th (reportedly Angie and Randy's anniversary)**** and Angie is crying to her mother about the nasty posts she finds online. Too damned bad. You laid in the dirty bed Angie, now deal with it.
I'll be filling in the blanks here in a little while. I just wanted to post the latest happenings....
Stay tuned!
**** This date was reported incorrectly and told to me incorrectly. This is not the anniversary of the Funks. They were married on July 1. It is however the correct date as it stands on the docket for the commencement of the trial of The State of Pennsylvania vs. Michael A. Roseboro.
