On October 24, 1961, 31-year-old Joan Risch vanished from her Lincoln, Massachusetts home in broad daylight. Her four-year-old daughter told a neighbor, “Mommy is gone—and the kitchen is covered in red paint.”
When police arrived, they found blood smeared on the walls, a tipped table, and a phone ripped from the wall—but no sign of Joan. A trail of blood led to her car and stopped.
Over sixty years later, her disappearance remains one of New England’s most haunting mysteries. Was it an abduction, an accident, or something she planned herself?
