Have you all seen the details about the library books Joan Risch checked out before she disappeared? This aspect of her case has always intrigued me. It’s almost like she was leaving a breadcrumb trail—but for what? Books on disappearances and crimes don’t seem like typical reading material for a mom of two, don’t you think? I speculate this might point to something more deliberate on her part. I wonder if she was researching how to vanish or maybe even setting the groundwork for someone else to think she’d done so. Alternatively, what if someone knew about her reading habits and used it to make it look like she planned it all? Either way, the thought process here is fascinating and adds a whole new layer to the mystery. Would love to hear others' thoughts on this. Does this suggest anything more sinister, or can we interpret this aspect of her behavior in less foreboding ways?
