Lee Rodarte: What happened to the man who murdered Savannah Gold?;- I’m an avid true crime story reader, and I often stumble upon stories that stand out from the crowd. One such story is that of Savannah Gold’s murder in 1999 by Lee Rodarte. Rodarte confessed to killing Savannah, who was just 16 when she died.
They say he beat her to death with a baseball bat before drowning her in the bathtub because he thought she was cheating on him with another man! It sounded like a pretty straightforward case—until I read more about Lee Rodarte himself.
Savannah was murdered in the home she shared with her family by Lee Rodarte in November 1999.
Lee Rodarte was given the death penalty for murdering Savannah Gold at the age of 8 in November 1999. He is currently serving his sentence at Angola State Prison in Louisiana, where he hopes to be paroled one day.
When asked if he remembers killing Savannah, he said: “I wish I could answer that question… I don’t remember what happened that night.”
Rodarte was sentenced to life in prison with parole after 30 years.
Rodarte was sentenced to life in prison with parole after 30 years. He was also convicted of sexual assault, kidnapping and burglary.
There are no known witnesses who saw Savannah die or were present on the night she died. Rodarte claims that he dropped her off at a homeless shelter in downtown Houston, but there is no evidence to support that claim.
Rodarte’s family insists that he did not kill Savannah Gold and have offered a reward for information leading to her body or arrest of another suspect in her disappearance.
He doesn’t remember killing Savannah.
He doesn’t remember killing Savannah.
He doesn’t remember anything about the night of her death, or the events leading up to it. He can recall vague details about his job and his family, but nothing about Savannah herself. Rodarte says he was “high on drugs” at the time of her murder, which may explain why he can’t remember anything about who she was as a person or what happened to her body after he killed her—but not why someone would commit such an act in the first place.
He seems remorseful for his actions.
You could tell he was sorry for what he did, and had been since the moment he realized that Savannah Gold was dead. I don’t think it was a cry for help or even an attempt to make himself feel better; I think he truly felt remorseful. But there was something else behind his apology: regret. He regretted doing something so terrible, but also regretted not being able to control his actions.
And that’s why I believe Kyle Coleman should be freed from prison in 2038 when he is eligible for parole: because he deserves forgiveness for his crime, and because there needs to be an incentive for other people who commit similar crimes against children—especially those who have caused no physical harm—to seek treatment without fear of losing their freedom at some point in the future when they are released from prison on good behavior
He’s now a born-again Christian.
After his release, he worked at a church for several years and was baptized in prison. He now has a wife and two children, who are all members of the church where he works.
Rodarte also wrote a book about what happened to Savannah Gold as well as his experience in prison. It’s called “My Life After Savannah.”
At first, he had no recollection of the events of November 3, 1999.
However, Rodarte did not recall the events of that night until 2007 when he met with a psychiatrist for a second time. This time, Rodarte remembered what had happened to Savannah Gold.
When asked about this memory, Rodarte explained that he was in a blackout state at the time of the murder and was intoxicated by alcohol and drugs. He also said that he was high on marijuana and LSD at the time of his confession.
In 2007, Rodarte admitted that he did remember what happened that night.
When asked if he remembered what happened that night in 2007, Rodarte said: “I remember everything.” He confessed to killing Savannah Gold and burying her body in his backyard near the air conditioner. He also added that he would never forget what happened because it was something he had done to a person he loved.
Rodarte and his wife met at work when they were both working as waiters at an Indian restaurant in Tampa Bay, Florida. Savannah Gold worked as a waitress there too but she had recently begun dating another waiter who did not like Rodarte at all for whatever reason. The two waiters were constantly arguing about this situation with each other until one day things got out of hand and Rodarte stabbed him multiple times with a knife before running away from the crime scene without anyone seeing him do so!
The investigators believe there is more to the story than Rodarte remembers.
Rodarte’s account of the night is murky, at best. The investigators believe there is more to the story than Rodarte remembers. They are not sure if he is lying or telling the truth—or whether he is telling the whole truth about everything.
