Roe (left) killed himself in the parking lot of the Eden Prairie police headquarters last Thursday as he arrived to be interviewed about his girlfriend's disappearance.
The brother of Mandy Matula, the missing 24-year-old Eden Prairie resident who vanished a week ago tonight, says her ex-boyfriend, David Roe, was never violent toward Mandy or gave any indication he was capable of hurting her.

THE BACKSTORY: Mandy Matula's brother says David Roe left farewell video, recently bought a gun

But a 2007 incident involving another of Roe's girlfriends suggests that if he is indeed responsible for Matula's disappearance, it wouldn't be the first time he acted out violently against an estranged lover.

Police say Rogers was obviously drunk and had allegedly been harassing a woman, but they decided not to arrest him.
