The search for a missing mother in Kentucky is eerily similar to the disappearance of her aunt, who vanished nearly 40 years ago.

Crystal Rogers, a 35-year-old mother of five, was last seen at her Bardstown home on July 3 by her live-in boyfriend, Brooks Houck. Bardstown is a small city located roughly 60 miles southwest of Lexington.
According to Nelson County Sheriff Ed Mattingly, Houck told police Rogers had stayed up late on the night of her disappearance and was gone when he woke up the following morning.
Houck waited two days to report Rogers missing, police said.
Rogers' vehicle, a maroon 2007 Chevy Impala, was found abandoned with a flat tire along Kentucky's Bluegrass Parkway two days after she disappeared. Rogers' keys, purse and cell phone were reportedly found inside the car.

Rogers' disappearance is not the first time her family has had to search for a missing loved one. In 1979, her aunt, Sherry Ballard Barnes, 19, disappeared from Bardstown. Her vehicle was found submerged in the Ohio River, but investigators found no sign of the teen.
"They searched for years," Rogers' cousin, Andrew Ballard, told The Kentucky Standard. "She was pregnant."
Barnes' remains, along with those of her unborn child, were found buried in a rural area three years after her disappearance.
According to The Associated Press, Barnes' husband, Edsel "Eddie" Barnes, was arrested and ultimately convicted in 1984 of hiring a man to kill his estranged wife so he would not have to pay child support. Barnes was sentenced to life in prison.

The search has intensified for a missing Kentucky mother of five, who was last seen alive more than a week ago by her live-in boyfriend.
Crystal Rogers, 35, was last seen playing games on her phone on the night of July 3, claims boyfriend Brooks Houck, who said the mother to his 2-year-old son was not at home when he woke up the next morning.
Houck said he wasn't concerned because the couple has had a 'stressed relationship' at times and Crystal would sometimes 'cope or deal' by spending the night at her cousin Sabrina's house.
