Appearances and Mentions

When informed of her brother's death, Henry is the one who asks her if they can 'bring Roger back to life' in order to catch his killer. Somewhat confused, she agrees because she thinks they're going to bring Roger back from the dead. At the end of the episode at Roger's memorial, she tries to kiss Henry, but he clearly doesn't feel the same.

A Murdog Mystery

• As a member of the Toronto Canine Competitive Society, Ruth Newsome is the owner of a very distinguished American Staffordshire Terrier, Roger– named after her late brother.
