What I am most intrigued about is the relationship with the foster/adoptive father. Mr. Risch indicated that his wife mentioned having been sexually assaulted as a youth while in foster care. There appears to have been several visits with her adoptive parents in days prior to the day she disappeared. Also, it looks like on 2 occasions the police actually visited the adoptive father. I wonder if Joan, now grown, married and with her own children, started "talking" about the previous sexual abuse and her adoptive father was at the house, by himself, to try to shut her up. Perhaps things got out of hand. Possibly he hurt her in some way and she fled, only to have him find her o
Wow , that's a theory I never considered. Thank you for taking me down that road of speculation. This resonates with me in several ways:
1. Joan would leave Lillian back at BBs if she knew someone was coming over- especially if it were her alleged abusive foster care dad. It makes sense that she would not have want Lilian around when he was, or maybe she knew expected tone of the encounter would not have been appropriate for Lilian to be around.
2. Why Joan's infant son upstairs was unharmed or unbothered. If it were an attack that led to Joan's disappearance it would of been a personal one IMO and if it were her adoptive father who attacked her, it would make sense for him to not have had intentions of harming her son.
still holes in this theory for me- as every theory around this case has. But I think this is a very interesting speculation you have brought up!
