January of 2010 JoAnn Matouk Romain had a lot on her mind. She was going through a divorce, there were family squabbles and hard feelings. She stopped by her church, St. Clare for a short prayer service which was hoped would bring her peace. Her SUV was found in the church parking lot with the keys in it, her purse and ID were there but JoAnn was gone. There was one set of foot prints found leading from the church parking lot across the street and stopping at Lake Clare. The lake feeds into The Detroit River and JoAnn's body was recovered there 70 days after she disappeared, cause of death "dry drowning." What happened that night to JoAnn?
