In November 1986, a mother of three disappeared from her home in Newtown, Connecticut. Police treated her case as an ordinary missing-persons report, but a private investigator named Keith Mayo was certain she had not simply left town. Before she vanished, she had said something to a friend that later took on a chilling meaning. Drawing on the investigation, the author reconstructs the days leading up to the disappearance hour by hour, paying close attention to the practical arrangements of her husband, Richard Crafts. Among these are the purchase of a heavy-duty truck and the reservation of a woodchipper, details that look more ominous as the timeline narrows. The result is a meticulous true-crime account that follows the clues step by step.
