"Where is Elle?"

In August of 2020, Elle Roskamp vanished.  As a sister and daughter, her disappearance has left us devastated.  We desperately need to find her.  Not only for her sake, but to educate and warn other families and young women so this doesn’t happen again.

Elle’s story started two years earlier when she got introduced to a local chapter of a religious group frequented by students on the campus of Grace Christian University.  Since that introduction, we’ve witnessed a dramatic and tragic change in her.   She went from a faith-filled, loving and bubbly personality to being filled with paranoia, fear and worry.   She has disassociated herself from all family and friends- even her very closest friends.   She told us she was moved to Florida by one of the leaders of this group, and has subsequently vanished.

Our search for her and law enforcement investigation continues.  Her journey is surreal and heartbreaking.  It involves the details and documentation behind a very unusual live-in internship, what we believe to be questionable oversight by the University she attended, a tuition refund being offered under the condition we not talk about it, coercion, mental abuse, signs of other abuses and cult-like activities.  In sharing these details and telling her story, we hope to find her.  But we also want this story to educate and caution other parents, students and young women to keep them from falling prey to the same potential danger.

We’ve contacted a documentary film production company to produce a feature length documentary.   Producing a documentary is expensive.  But the exposure, the education and the impact can be enormous and far reaching.  Not just now, but for years to come.  The content will live on a variety of social media platforms as well as streaming services.  What you’ve watched is just a glimpse.  The documentary will highlight Elle’s story complete with interviews, testimonies, emails, text messages, voicemails, correspondence, etc. from:

·         Family

·         Friends

·         Law Enforcement / Private investigators

·         Cult Experts

·         Trafficking Experts

·         Psychologist

·         And more

With the help of our family, friends and social media, we believe we can quickly raise needed funds to produce the film, interview all participants, pay for all facets of production, licensing, permits, insurances, associated travel expenses and attorney fees.

It is our hope the documentary will raise questions and prompt investigations as we state facts, share our experience and chronicle Elle’s journey; much of it from the pages of her own diary.  We pray we find her. Time is running out.
