Mrs. Roddy was a true hero and brave beyond belief. I watched the episode on Unsolved Mysteries of her determination to clean up her neighborhood. What wonderful woman she was and an inspiration to all. Good bless her!

Its 2020 and I sat with my daughter for her to see the power and education of a strong women fighting for change during adversity. I myself had seen unsolved mystery a few years ago and have always remembered her battle to improve lives around her.

I just learned of Mrs. Roddy on Unsolved Mysteries, and Im so glad that I did because she is such an inspiration! Mrs. Roddy is a real American hero. I was not surprised to learn from her obituary that she was valedictorian of her class. To her family: Im so sorry for your loss, but I hope you can find some peace and that you will always be proud of the example that Mrs. Roddy set for all of us.

Just watched the episode on unsolved mysteries. Was moved to see CWs bravery in the midst of adversity. Im sure all who knew her personally could feel her strength. Very touching to see her story. May God continue to bless her being, as well as the lives she was around. I do pray that her strength and love helped change all around her for the betterment for whom she knew and came in contact with. I do hope her son takes rest in her life as she is a great and wonderful woman whos life is an inspiration to many.

As the years drift, it is good to see how she still has the power to get the love and respect from so many that never met her. And, yes, I too feel strong that God has rewarded her greatly. It's too bad her story has not been brought to the "big screen" so that more can learn about Roddy and her struggles.

I just watched her story on an old episode of Unsolved Mysteries. She was a woman of bravery and courage, courageous enough to stand up against the neighborhood bullies. More Americans need to be as C.W. Roddy. May she rest easy.

I wish I had been blessed to know this brave and magnificent woman in person! watched Unsolved Mysteries and saw how she with much courage stood against the cowardly drug pushers in her neighborhood with hardly any help. God will surely bless this great woman and she must be in His loving arms now in Heaven!

I met "Roddy" through a mutual Pac Bell friend, Verdell Wheeler, who welcomed me into her home as if we had known each other for years. My sincere sympathies are with her family & wish her a long deserved rest.
