Samenvatting:

The morning of October 24, 1961, started just like any other day for the Risch family of Lincoln, Massachusetts...Martin Risch was up before dawn, preparing to leave for a business trip he'd arranged. The plan was to drive himself to Logan Airport and then catch an 8 a.m. flight to New York City, where he planned to stay the night in Manhattan. After her husband left the house, Joan Risch woke their two children and busied herself making their breakfast...Once the kids were fed, Joan took them across the street to the neighbour's house – Barbara Barker would look after her son David while she and her daughter Lillian drove the family's blue 1951 Chevrolet into Bedford, where Joan had scheduled an appointment with a dentist after hearing a glowing recommendation from Morton, a friend from college...later that day, Joan would disappear in what would be one of the strangest missing persons case in modern history.
