When they hear about this, they're worried right away because this marsh area where her stuff was found, it is a
00:00:05
known dumping ground. Like for trash, for stolen stuff, and for bodies. Almost at the same time
00:00:12
Terry's starting to spiral, the phone rings. It's one of Joan's friends from Harvard and right away Terry knows
00:00:18
something is wrong because the friend tells her that Joan missed that Sunday study group and she didn't show up to
00:00:24
class on Monday either. So Terry hangs up and calls Joan's older sister. So she lives close to campus and Terry asked
00:00:32
her to go check Joan's dorm room. But what her sister finds doesn't ease anyone's concerns. I mean before she
00:00:38
even goes into Joan's room, she sees notes on her door from friends and inside there is unopened mail and no
00:00:46
sign that Joan's even been in the room since before break. Now Terry is the one to file a missing person's report that
00:00:53
same day and by the next morning Joan's family has their first clue because a call comes into Joan's dad's office from
00:01:01
a fisherman. Apparently he was walking near the marshes in Saugus, Massachusetts which is like 6 miles
00:01:07
north of Logan Airport and the guy says he found Joan's wallet on the riverbank.
00:01:12
And inside was a driver's license, credit cards, no cash though, but there was this like card instructing whoever
00:01:17
finds the wallet to call Joan's dad's [music] office. So they call him, he calls the police and when they hear
00:01:23
about this, they're worried right away because this marsh area where her stuff was found, it is a known dumping ground.
00:01:30
Like for trash, for stolen stuff, and for [music] bodies. So they go out to meet this fisherman and they search
00:01:37
the area and not too far from where he had found the wallet, they find Joan's red leather pocketbook with her
00:01:43
checkbook inside and this is a bad sign.
