The Mysterious Disappearance Of Joan Risch Explained

Although the amount of blood in Joan Risch's kitchen appeared to be significant, authorities believe the victim suffered a superficial wound, which would not have caused her death. However, Morbidology reports they were unsure whether the missing woman had been abducted or if she made the decision to leave.

In the days and weeks following Risch's disappearance, authorities received multiple tips. Unfortunately, the information only further deepened the mystery. According to Morbidology, a neighbor reported seeing a gray Oldsmobile Sedan parked in Risch's driveway at approximately 3:20 p.m. on the afternoon she went missing.

Other tipsters reported seeing the missing woman walking near the Cambridge Reservoir on Route 128 in Waltham. Morbidology reports one of the callers said the woman had blood on her legs and appeared to be disoriented. As multiple people reported seeing the same woman, authorities searched the entire area, including an extensive search of the reservoir. However, they did not find any evidence of Risch or anyone matching her description.

Upon further inspection of the scene, and after consulting her husband, authorities determined one of Joan's coats was missing from the house. According to Soapboxie, they also found several empty beer bottles in the trash can –- which Martin said his wife would not have consumed. Authorities were also intrigued by some books Joan recently checked out from the local library, as many of the books featured women who either disappeared or were murdered.
