Best Answer

The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island could possibly have been massacred by Powhatan Indians, but their wasn't enough evidence to back it up. Even though, the fist 15 colonists that moved their were at war with them, this did leave us thinking that they might have killed the Lost Colony, but it is not precise. This is why this is called the "Lost" Colony; we still don't know how they just suddenly disappear after John White came back from England 3 years after he left them for more supplies. Then again he didn't go looking for them as soon as he found them missing. A few years later a search was set out to go and find them, and no trace of them was left behind.
