'I have killed for you': Husband's words crack nearly decade-old murder of missing nurse's aide
A husband's chilling words to his wife -- "I have killed for you" -- finally cracked a cold case murder that had haunted an Illinois town for nearly a decade. Bonnie Woodward, a 47-year-old mother of four, vanished from her workplace parking lot in Alton, Illinois, on June 25, 2010. A nurse's aide at Eunice Smith Nursing Home for 25 years, Woodward was last seen talking to a man after her shift. Witnesses described him as a white male with salt-and-pepper hair, driving a silver or gray Chevy Malibu. A new "20/20" episode, "I Have Killed For You," airing Friday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu, examines the case. You can also get more behind-the-scenes of each week's episode by listening to "20/20: The After Show" weekly series right on your "20/20" podcast feed on Mondays, hosted by "20/20" co-anchor Deborah Roberts. Her red Chevy Avalanche was found abandoned with windows rolled down -- a detail that immediately alarmed her family. "She loved that truck. She worked really hard to get that truck. She absolutely wouldn't have just left it," her niece Rachel Lee told "20/20." The disappearance was particularly suspicious given that Woodward's 17-year-old stepdaughter, Heather, had recently run away from home. Eight days after Woodward vanished, Heather suddenly appeared at a local library, revealing she had been staying with a family from her church, the Carrolls. The investigation's first break came when Roger Carroll's fingerprints were found on Woodward's truck. Even though he and his car matched witnesses' descriptions of the man Woodward was seen talking to the day she vanished, he denied the evidence. "Then I've been framed," Carroll told detectives. "There's no way that my fingerprints are on that car door." Prosecutors determined there was not enough evidence to charge Carroll based on fingerprints alone. The case went cold until March 2018, when Carroll's wife Monica fled their home after an alleged domestic assault. While recounting the alleged violent incident to police, Monica told them that Carroll said, "I have killed for you." When police searched for him afterward, they found him in the woods, having attempted suicide by insulin injection. Carroll was arrested and charged with Woodward's murder and domestic abuse of Monica. The case broke wide open when Roger and Monica's son Nathan, then 24, was called to testify before a grand jury. With immunity granted, Nathan detailed what he said happened to Woodward eight years earlier. He told prosecutors that his father made him leave their family vacation early, while his mother stayed behind, and drive to the nursing home where Woodward worked. Later that day, while eating lunch at home, Nathan said he heard eight or nine gunshots. When he walked outside, he said he saw feet wearing tennis shoes and tan scrubs. What he said happened next was even more disturbing -- Nathan testified that his father had him help maintain a blaze in their backyard to burn Woodward's body. "They start a massive fire," Jennifer Mudge, the special prosecutor on the case, said. "It had to be stoked all night, all day, all night, every couple of hours, and Roger had Nathan help him do that." Nathan led investigators to three key locations on the Carroll property: where he said Woodward was shot, where he claimed her body was burned and the creek where he said her ashes were dumped. Police found 27 pieces of what they believed to be bone fragments although later tests could not determine if they were Woodward's remains. Nathan also testified that his father described Woodward as "a bad person" and that she was mean, aggressive and abusive to her stepdaughter Heather. Heather told police she did not know anything about her stepmother's disappearance and murder. Despite not having a body, prosecutors secured a conviction in Woodward's case on March 16, 2020. Carroll was sentenced to 65 years in prison -- 40 years for first-degree murder, plus 25 years for using a firearm. The domestic abuse charge was dropped by prosecutors. Carroll is appealing his conviction. The Illinois Supreme Court granted permission for the appeal, which is likely to be argued this fall. "When I heard the jury found him guilty, that was the blessing to my ears to hear," Gary Wilmurth Sr., Woodward's boyfriend, told "20/20." "Roger Carroll robbed her kids, her grandkids, friends, family. But we won't never forget her, and we won't forget him." For Mudge, the verdict carried a deeper meaning. "Bonnie, finally, she could be at rest," she told "20/20." "I don't believe in the word closure. It doesn't exist in my mind. But Bonnie can now rest peacefully."

PHD Terrace rooftop bar has transformed into a cherry-soaked summer fantasy
Summer in NYC is all about rooftop season —and this year, it's getting a cherry on top. Literally. Dream Midtown's PHD Terrace just unveiled its latest seasonal glow-up, and it's a juicy one. The new Dream in Cherries installation transforms the 16th-floor rooftop into a decadent cherry-filled escape, with more than 20,000 cherries, a towering cherry tree and enough red-and-white striped umbrellas to make you feel like you're vacationing in the Amalfi Coast... if the Amalfi Coast came with a Dark Cherry Espresso Martini. Created by Laila Ahmed of Design House Décor in collaboration with Yvonne Najor, vice president of New York hotel marketing for TAO Group, the space combines European orchard vibes with serious New York glamour. Think: lush greenery, hanging ivy vines, and ultra-Instagrammable cocktails crafted by TAO Group's Nikki McCutcheon. (Yes, there's a Spicy Cherry Paloma.) 'The cherry concept actually came up early on, before it really became a trend,' Najor told Time Out. 'What sets this pop-up apart is the energy—it's bold, nostalgic and full of personality. We wanted to create something that feels like pure summer fun, and I think we really captured that.' The sweet aesthetic doesn't stop at drinks. Chef Erin Cabayan, TAO Group's pastry queen, is behind the rooftop's cherry-laced desserts, like the Cherry Bomb (a hazelnut and cherry-chocolate cake) and the Filthy Shirley, an all-grown-up sundae with vanilla ice cream and cherry liqueur. PHD Terrace isn't new to the party scene—the midtown location will celebrate its 10th birthday later this year. Designed by nightlife maestro Josh Held, who's known for LIGHT Vegas and Marquee New York, the bi-level space spans both indoor and outdoor lounges, offering 360-degree skyline views, a penthouse-chic interior, mirrored lighting and custom gold tile bars. Cherry season doesn't last forever, but this dreamy orchard in the sky might just convince you otherwise. Catch it while it's ripe.
