This case on one of the specials. A man had been involved with 3 women over a period of years and all of them had come up missing. The first woman, I believe was his wife, and by that time had been missing for some years. I cannot remember the man's name or the names of the missing women.
Does anyone know if they were ever found or who they were?

That would be the case of Robert Weeks. His first wife, Patricia Weeks, disappeared in 1968, and although he was a suspect, he was never charged. Decades later, Robert dated Cynthia DeBore, and when she planned to end her relationship with him, she vanished. Then in 1986, Robert, using an alias, began dating Carol Ann Riley, who vanished the day that she planned to break up with him as well. Robert Weeks soon vanished, and was arrested thanks to the broadcast (which was in a Karl Malden special). Weeks was found guilty of the murders and died in prison in 1996. Sadly, none of the women's bodies have ever been found

I think it was mentioned in the segment that Weeks was a mortician. I always took this to mean that he may have known some good ways in which to permanently dispose of or otherwise hide human remains in such a way that they would never be found - possibly by a method the average layman wouldn't be familiar with. I believe this is why no remains have ever been located.
