Trigger Warnings: possible death, assault, brief mention of abortion

Today's Episode: Joan Risch is a mother of two and a happy housewife in October of 1961 when she suddenly vanishes. The timeline of her last day is well known but then that afternoon, leaving very few clues behind, she simply disappears. What happened to the wife and mother? Was she abducted? Murdered? Or did she run away from suburban bliss?
