On an evening in September of 2017, a woman living in Massachusetts came home from work to an empty house.

Her boyfriend was gone, but she saw that his wallet and his phone were still right there on the counter,

and also on the kitchen table were three fairly conspicuous envelopes. Confused, she walked over to the envelopes,

and she began to open them. One of them was her boyfriend's

last will and testament. Another was a note that was for her. And the third was a letter that was

addressed to the family of a woman who had been murdered 25 years earlier. But before we get into

today's story, if you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, delivered in story format,

then you've come to the right place because that's all we do.

So, if that's of interest to you, please offer to do the follow buttons taxes for them.

But don't actually do their taxes.

Just take all their documentation and throw it in the trash.

Okay?

Let's get into today's story.

Okay? trash. Okay, let's get into today's story. On the afternoon of April 15, 1992, a 24-year-old woman named Lisa Zegert drove through the quiet suburban streets of Agawam, Massachusetts.

And eventually, she pulled into a shopping plaza in the center of town,

which was full of shops and restaurants and bars. So Lisa was a teacher's aide at the local middle school. And while teaching was definitely her passion, the reality was being a teacher's aide did not

pay very well. So to earn some extra money, she also worked the evening shift at a store called

Brittany's Card and Gift Shop, which sold things like birthday cards and stuffed animals and music boxes.

As she drove through the lot looking for a parking space, she passed by a chicken restaurant

where her friend Ed Borgotti worked. So Ed shared a house with Lisa's boyfriend, Blair Masoya,

as well as Lisa's sister, Lynn.

So the four of them were all pretty close.
