In the summer of 1971, 21-year-old Joyce LePage disappears after a skydiving lesson followed by a beer with friends.

Hi, Grime Junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today starts almost 55 years ago. But don't call this a cold case.
Because things, even all these years later, are heating back up. Everything centers around one July night on the campus of Washington State University. A co-ed and a big swath of carpet go missing from a residence hall no one was supposed to be in. Where her car ended up, where her keys were found, and where her body was left are all clues that point at different people.
There have been many theories about what happened to Joyce LePage over the years, but only six viable ones seem to remain. And maybe our sleuths out there can help us see what is missing as we try to figure out who killed Joyce LePage. Thank you. I'm about to take you back to a time that we and a lot of our audience have only ever witnessed in the movies, the early 1970s.
