- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 30, 1978, Joyce disappeared from her home in Bellingham, Washington. She was hanging laundry in her backyard when her son noticed she was suddenly gone. Her husband was at the bank at the time. When he returned, he found all the family’s money had been withdrawn a few days earlier. Police don’t know who took the money, but they think it might have been Joyce. The bank is closed now, making it hard to investigate.
While it’s possible Joyce left on her own, her family doesn’t believe she would leave her children. Because of this, and the mysterious money withdrawal, police suspect foul play and think she may have been murdered. The case remains unsolved.
