Ghost in the Wind - The Bizarre Murder of Joleen Cummings

Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine the disappearance of 34 year old Joleen Cummings, a Mother of three children. She disappeared the day before Mother's day and on her own Birthday. Family and friends said she would never go off without her children. However, at the time of her disappearance she was going through a contentious divorce and custody battle. Her ex-husband initially believed she was somewhere "out on a bender". But soon investigators had two other suspects. This is a case of twists, turns and shocking conclusions.
