What happened to the Roanoke "Lost Colonists"? No one knows for sure.
Evidence over the centuries strongly indicates their colony was raided multiple times by indians, likely Powhatans (whose chief actually admitted it in 1607). Possible that men were killed, women and children were taken as slaves. It's also possible some were eaten, as cannibalism was more common among the natives than is ever discussed. There was a huge drought 1587 to 1590, which would have lead to starvation among indians and colonists alike.
