- Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Black hair, brown eyes. Joy has scars on her abdomen, upper right arm and left knee; one of those scars is cross-shaped.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Joy disappeared on July 1, 1994, in Maplewood, Minnesota. She was going to look at a car with a man she’d recently met. Nobody has seen or heard from her since.
Joy grew up on the East Coast and lived in New Jersey with relatives after her mom died. When she disappeared, she lived alone in Minnesota; her young son lived with his dad. She’d recently quit her convenience store job.
Police thought she might have left on her own, maybe to return to the East Coast. But her aunt didn’t believe this, because Joy left behind money, her apartment, her two cats, and everything else—only her keys were gone. It’s a mystery, and nobody knows what happened to her.
