Rogers family looking to get America's Most Wanted on the case

A Kansas City, Kan., murder that has received state attention may receive national attention.

Jeff Rogers, a KCK resident, was murdered on April 9, 2008, at his home on the 8400 Block of Tauromee. Since his murder, family members have worked exhaustively in any way to solve the case.

Jeff Rogers.jpgThey've increased award money, bought billboards and were able to have Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson pitch in award money from the State of Kansas.

Now, they are hoping to get America's Most Wanted involved in the matter.

John Frishman, Rogers' uncle, spoke to The Kansan a little bit about the family's effort today.

"We're in the process of communicating with them," he said. "With information we've received in the past few days, we think there is a good shot."

Rogers called police after he was shot and stabbed in his home. He told police officers at the scene that "four of five white males" had broken in the home and beat, shot and stabbed him.

After he was taken to an area hospital, he died.

While the case remains unsolved and some family members feel local efforts "have been exhausted," the desire to get the case on the show doesn't necessarily reflect the situation with the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department.

"We're both on the good side, but we want to do anything we can for more awareness," he said.

  • Kidnapping

A Topeka grand jury today returned an indictment of kidnapping for Jason E. Frazier, a Kansas City, Kan., resident.

He's charged with one count of kidnapping, one count of brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, one count of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm after a felony conviction.

The charges stem from an alleged crime on Oct. 29.

Frazier is alleged to have held up an adult daughter at gunpoint after her and her father got lost after driving from the American Royal to a hotel in Kansas City, Mo.

When prompted for direction, Frazier misled them and eventually pulled his gun out on the daughter.

He could face a maximum penalty of life in federal prison on the kidnapping charge and lesser penalties on the others.
