Summary

In October 2021, Emily Jean Schwarz Ferlazzo, a 22‑year‑old aspiring nurse and singer from New Hampshire, traveled with her husband Joseph Ferlazzo Jr., then 41, to Bolton, Vermont to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

Later the next day, Emily’s family reported her missing after Joseph returned alone, claiming the couple had a fight and Emily got an Uber home. But it was only days later that police found her remains in the camper van, 4 days after the murder. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
