In early 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes told her family she was heading to New Hampshire to clear up a court matter, and then she vanished. In the months that followed, horrifying clues about what happened to her began to emerge until a shocking discovery was made four months later. A jawbone sealed inside a washing machine at the bottom of Grant Pond.

Despite ample circumstantial evidence, no one has ever been held accountable for Trish's

disappearance and murder.

We'd like to say a special thank you to Trish's loved ones, Sandy, Valerie, Carrie Ann, and Chloe

for their help in putting together this episode and for allowing us to share Trish's

story. Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring

myself, Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing well. How are

you? I'm doing good. It's a Saturday. We haven't done a Saturday schedule or Saturday

recording in a while. We haven't. Yeah. We haven't. It's a Saturday in May. And I know not everyone

loves to hear us talk about the weather. It is hot, but that's not what I was going to say.

I was actually going to say that we've actually had a few May showers the last few days, and we have needed the rain so bad. I have actually been loving it. We had a great thunderstorm last night, and I slept like a baby.

I do love a thunderstorm, but it just means frogs. Frogs and mosquitoes. I'm looking at one right now. No. No. Oh, no. I can't. I can't even think about this. Now it's like when I open my front door, I have to like shake it like five times to get off the lizards and the frogs and whatever else could be on there. So I'm glad you're enjoying the May flowers. Or no. Why are we getting May showers? Why are we not getting May flowers? Oh, wait. Wait, why did I see me showers like that was the normal? That's not even the way it's supposed to go. No. Well, we're getting April showers in May. This whole. I really messed out what up. But Mandy, we've had a lot of recording we've done lately. If you guys haven't listened, we

redid our whole Casey Anthony story from the top. What am I trying to say? You're just

eight years almost. We did a new take on the Casey Anthony's story. Yes. And I really enjoyed how

that turned out. I thought it turned out really. Me too. Great. Yes. So if you haven't listened to that, that is up for you. And then on Thursdays, we have some really cool stuff coming up. This week, we have a guest coming on and we are going to be discussing a trial that's happening, not Karen Reid, a new one, the Diddy Trial. So if you want to get all caught up,

we will have that for you on Thursday so you'll know what's going on as this case unfolds.

Awesome. So we'll get into the story for today. This is really one that sticks with you and not just

because of how the story ends, but because of who it happened to.

A young woman who was just trying to find her place in the world after enduring a childhood

that left her craving real connection and belonging.

Her name was Trish Haynes, and long before her name was printed in headlines,

she was just a little girl who had already survived more than most people.
