Pam Roberts was murdered early in the afternoon on a day in late February. She was found dead where she worked, at Coop's Tiny Tap.

TMJ4 has some new information on the investigation.

Joel Cain hasn't been charged with anything related to the murder of Roberts, but in search warrant documents obtained by TODAY’S TMJ4, there is new information about the man police call a suspect in the case.

Family members continue to mourn the death of Pam Roberts. She was killed working at Coop's Tiny Tap. Family members closely watch the investigation.

“We need to have this thing over with so that family and friends have their closure,” Pam’s husband, Tom Roberts said.

Police released surveillance video of the suspect, and now we have new information. The video could show Joel Cain, the man police call a suspect, even though he hasn't been charged.

According the documents, Joel Cain’s wife, Sara told police "she believed it could be her husband, Joel C. Cain.”

...The search warrant also reveals that Cain was at the bar the night before and may have "called Coops Tiny Tap on the morning of Roberts' homicide."

“Most people know that bar doesn't open up until 1:00. So if he called the bar, he had something on his mind,” [Pam's husband] Tom Roberts said.

That's quite a revelation from Sara Cain about her husband.

The possible phone call from Joel Cain to Coop's Tiny Tap raises more questions as well.

The investigation continues. I hope, for the family's sake, it is resolved soon.
