    Personally, the most feasible story is a botched abortion, IMO. Regardless of being religious and of a happy marriage, that’s a common situation for religious women in those days. There are countless stories of women that don’t believe they can afford more than what they already have, both financially and mentally. It’s not uncommon to do that without telling the spouse that wouldn’t be on board for such a thing. They would also not really tell others for the same reason. Politics aside: There is a misconception out there about who gets abortions, and why. Even today, many that have had to make that decision for themselves have things to contend with within themselves. It’s a heavy decision, one that might make telling others difficult or even impossible. I think it’s possible that she decided this and it was projected to be quick and fairly simple of a procedure, then she hemorrhaged. Maybe she was dumped there on the side of the road to die, then tried to make her way home and didn’t make it. The blood in strange places. The sightings of a woman down the road seemily with blood running down her legs, that could be hemorrhaging. An abortion doesn’t take long to do so that could explain the strange timeframe. The fact that her husband was away on a business trip is a big tell to me.

    Sounds like she staged her own disappearance to me. The lengthy mental health issue's she had is what stands out. Obviously she never had any psychiatric help for the loss of her parent's, or the alleged abuse from her step father. A care being at her house in broad daylight, she would have to have known the person. Some people who have had trauma in their life, can't handle raising children, so maybe she bailed to leave her past behind. The sightings are what really made me think this, because it would confuse the police more. I guess no one really knows, such an odd case. G-d bless.

    That is one fascinating mystery. I think we can say with a reasonable degree of certainty the following; Joan left in the blue car. (Or the dog would have picked up her scent) Someone else was involved. (Blue car didn’t drive itself into her driveway and Joan didn’t walk away and drive it back or the dog would have picked up that scent) The scene in the kitchen was staged. (Enough blood to draw attention to foul play but not enough to harm. Phone ripped off wall but no signs of a real struggle) No sign of her after the disappearance. I think she left voluntarily. Circumstances prior ensure the baby will be found quickly. Husband is away and no chance of his randomly coming home. Books checked out of library on disappearances. Sorry pal. She bailed on you.

    What an intriguing mystery. I have so many questions, like what was the speculation about the blood evidence? I'm thinking accidental self injury vs. attacker-caused injury. Does the book talk about it? Damn! -- another book I'm going to have to buy to find out, all because of this channel! Off to the Kindle store I go...

    I've backpacked in the Galiuro Mountains at least a dozen times over the decades usually accessing Rattlesnake Canyon from the east by hiking up High Creek canyon. It's a beautiful canyon. On the way to Power''s Garden is Holdout Spring where it's level and a good place to camp. The trail goes further down Rattlesnake to Power's Garden and about halfway is the cutoff to Powers Cabin and the mine site. I was last there about 8 years ago and all the buildings were standing. The University of Arizona had been doing some research on the flora and fauna at Power's Garden. It's a rugged range. I've heard that the Galiruos are where "troubling" bears are taken to when they are caught in other areas of southern Arizona. A little known fact is that a religious cult started near Sunset Peak in the Galiuros by William Branham in 1963. It's based on a particularly shaped cloud that was seen in Flagstaff, Sunset Peak and in Mexico. There is a photo of the cloud. It's an interesting story on its own. Thanks for Heidi's interview.

    John Richardson was the ripper. His mother owned a business at 28 Hanbury st. He said he was sitting on the back yard steps near where Chapman was murdered at 430 am. He said he didnt see Chapmans body. He said he was cutting leather off his boot with a knife. The doctor who arrived at 630 said she had been dead 2 hours. Jurists let him go home and bring back the knife he used to cut the leather. He brings back a dull knife they deemed couldnt have been sharp enough to make the cuts. How would this dull knife cut through leather? They found his wet washed leather apron in the yard.

    Many Bostonians claim a connection to this fire? Just about everyone in Edinburgh, Scotland, claims Sean Connery had been their milkman. Connery worked as a milkman from July 1944 (6 weeks before his 14th birthday) until he entered the Royal Navy in 1946, aged 16 (so after 25th August). Irvine Welsh sarcastically speculated that Connery must have had a milk round that covered ALL of Edinburgh - because EVERYONE claimed Sean delivered their milk. Bear in mind that this was 1944-46, when 454,000 lived in Edinburgh - and 99.9% of them had their milk delivered to their doorstep six mornings every week.

    I had to search 'S BAHN KILLER'. If that kind of thing interests you I recommend that you look into Reg Christie, aka John Christie. He was also a serial killer who used the blackouts in London (rather than Berlin) and the chaos of war to commit his many murders. His neighbour, Tim Evans, was hanged for one of the murders that now seems obviously to have been one of Christie's murders. Tim Roth played Christie in RILLINGTON PLACE, 2016 (3 X 58m episodes) Richard Attenborough played him in 10 RILLINGTON PLACE, 1971.

    My great-great-grandfather and his son were imprisoned there. But it was way after the Escape. November 64 to February 65. "Libby Life" written by FF Cavada, reads more like a play or a novel. Although he was there, it sounds more like superfluous flummery.
