Joan Webster // 551

In November of 1981, a 25-year-old graduate student at Harvard vanished after arriving at Boston’s Logan Airport after being with family for Thanksgiving. For years, investigators chased down connections to an alleged serial killer, and yet no answers emerged. When her remains were discovered nearly a decade later in a secluded Massachusetts wood, the mystery only deepened, with two completely different disturbing ideas as to what happened to her. This is the murder of Joan Webster.
