The Final Hours with Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole

On October 24, 1961, 31-year-old Joan Risch spent an ordinary morning at home in Lincoln, Massachusetts. She took her daughter to the dentist, booked a follow-up appointment, and later walked her to a neighbor's house, promising she'd be right back. She never returned. When someone finally stepped inside her home, they found the kitchen smeared with blood, the telephone torn from the wall, and Joan was missing.

In September 1992, 27-year-old Su Taraskiewicz was found murdered in the trunk of her own car. Her journal pointed suspicion back toward the men she worked alongside, but the truth was tangled in something bigger: a federal probe into a stolen credit-card ring run out of Logan. Over the years, the FBI, a federal grand jury, and a $250,000 reward all circled the same small group of names. But without enough evidence to charge anyone, no one was ever convicted of Su's murder.

On September 13, 1992, 27-year-old Su Taraskiewicz left her overnight shift at Boston's Logan Airport to grab sandwiches for her crew and never made it home. The next day, her body was found in the trunk of her own car. As a ramp supervisor and one of the few women on a mostly male crew at Northwest Airlines, Su had spent months enduring a workplace that turned against her. There were taunts, sabotage, and threats she faced just for doing her job well. Eventually her mother uncovered something that reframed the case: a journal, where Su had documented the harassment page after page, naming the men who made her days a struggle.

On July 3, 2015, 35-year-old Crystal Rogers was supposed to have a date night with her boyfriend. The following morning, she was missing. Two days later, her car turned up abandoned on Kentucky's Bluegrass Parkway. There was a flat tire, keys in the ignition and her purse was still inside. But there was no Crystal. What followed was a decade of investigation, an FBI takeover, grand jury battles, and arrests for murder and evidence tampering. But Crystal's body has never been found. And her family is still fighting for answers.

On March 19, 2004, 17-year-old Brianna Maitland finished her shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Vermont and drove into the night. An hour later, her car was seen backed into an abandoned farmhouse on a rural stretch of Route 118. When police got there, they found her belongings still inside. But there was no crash, no struggle, and no Brianna. Two decades later, investigators have never publicly named a suspect, though rumors about local criminal networks have never stopped circulating. This is the story of a young woman who left work and drove into a mystery Vermont has never solved.
