A woman disappears from her house and the only evidence left behind were the blood stains spread throughout the home as well as smears from paper towels.

It's the plot of a novel called Into Thin Air- a novel that 31 year old Joan Risch had read shortly before her own disappearance in 1961.

Was Joan's disappearance an elaborate setup? Or did something more sinister happen to the young mother of two?
