Nakilala si Roger Mariano sa Ilocos Norte bilang matapang na komentarista sa radio, kaya naman marami siyang naipong kaaway. Noong July 31, 2004, tuluyan na siyang pinatahimik. Dalawang suspek ang naaresto, sina Basilio Yadao at SPO4 Apolonio Medrano. Kapwa itinanggi ng dalawa na may kinalaman sila sa pagpaslang kay Mariano. Isa lang si Roger sa walumpu't isang mga mamamahayag na pinaslang mula nang matapos ang Edsa Revolution noong 1986. Noong nakaraang taon, tatlumpu't isa pang mga mamamahayag ang nadagdag sa listahan sa karumal-dumal na Maguindanao Massacre. Samahan si Arnold Clavio na balikan ang kaso ng pagpatay kay Roger Mariano sa Case Unclosed ngayong Huwebes pagkatapos ng Saksi.
