Summary

Hi besties!!! It is officially the final episode of 2023!!! Thank you all so much for chatting with us every Thursday and being our besties! We love you all so much and cannot wait for what 2024 has to offer!

It feels like it has been years since we have chatted because of the holidays, so we were feeling super chatty and giddy- which of course we had to get that completely out of our systems because of what we decided to do with our last case of 2023..

Taylar has taken over the episode to bring you the extremely suspicious disappearance of 31 year old, wife and mother of two- Joan Risch.

In Lincoln, MA on October 24, 1961, Joan Risch was solo parenting for 48 hours while her husband was on a work trip when she vanished, leaving behind her children, belongings, a bloodied kitchen and home. The case quickly went cold, but as the years have gone by, little clues have popped up pointing back to Joan- including library books. Yet, 62 years later Joan's case is unsolved.

What Happened to Joan Risch?

***Theories are being discussed in the final section of this episode concerning various pieces of this case that are not based in fact, rather the stretching of facts to try and make a conclusion- complete speculation. This is a Conspiracy Podcast, after all!
