Can Cockroaches carry Bedbugs?

I've heard of stories about carrying bedbugs from other people, clothing, and dirty beds, but what about other animals like cockroaches. If you kill one in your home is there a chance bedbugs can hitch a ride on them.

    If you kill he cockroach he isn't likely to move anything since he cant move any more. Seriously bedbugs do not hitchhilke on cockroaches. They are almost always transported via peoples belongings from house to house. Once in the house they can move on their own six legs.
