Good evening. The true story of a trailblazing detective search for a beautiful college co-ed who vanished without a trace.

In 1981, Detective Kay Schucker was the lead investigator in the high-profile missing person's case of Old Dominion University student Janis Starr.

The beautiful Coed

co-ed disappeared without a trace from Old Dominion University's Norfolk, Virginia campus.

As Kaye studied the diary, going several years back, she learned that Janice, a U.S. Army veteran, had faced the same challenges in the

military that Kay did in law enforcement. They were both women trying to succeed in a man's world.

Feeling a kinship towards Janus, K became consumed with unraveling the mystery of Janus's disappearance

and possible death.

As the investigation unfolded, Kaye began to suspect that Janice had an affair with her ROTC professor

at Old Dominion University, Army Captain Dwight Bettingfield, a well-respected family man married with three kids.

Kaye was warned by superiors to tread lightly in her investigation of Bettingfield and cautioned not to dig too deeply.

But she soon uncovered a life insurance scheme and discovered that Janus had been assigned

a series of dangerous tasks by Captain

Bettingfield. Did these circumstances play a role in Janice's demise?

Was the highly regarded Bettingfield actually a killer? If so, what did he do with Janice's remains?

The book that we're featuring this evening is In the Wind, The Disappearance of Janus Star
