All Those Years Ago: The Unsettling Disappearance of Joan Risch

One Minute and Forty-Three Seconds

31-year-old Joan Risch was educated, successful, and by all accounts a loving wife and mother. She seemed to have everything together. But sometimes things are not always as they seem. 

Something sinister happened to Joan on the afternoon of October 24, 1961. Her young daughter stumbled upon a troubling scene, and investigation would reveal puzzling clues including some strange items in the trash, a questionable collection of library books, and some sightings of a woman thought to be Joan in distress. 

Today, join me for a special episode of the podcast featuring my one and only sister, Erin. Erin and I rewind the clock back 63 years to try and make sense of one of history's most baffling cases, and there is no shortage of theories.
