29-Domestic Violence MISSING: Virginia Pictou-Noyes

The night of April 23, 1993, in Bangor, Maine, witnessed a tragedy that would reverberate through the years: the vanishing of Virginia Pictou Noyes after a violent confrontation that would never see justice served. As host, I guide you through a tale that is as much a chilling mystery as it is an urgent commentary on the overlooked victims of domestic violence. We trace Virginia's footsteps back to a tumultuous upbringing, through the lens of her life with Larry and Roger Noyes Jr., two men with a history of violence that only compounded the tragedy of that night. The echoes of Virginia's story are haunting, a poignant reminder of the countless others who suffer in silence.

Join me as we honor Virginia's memory and shed light on a story that demands to be told, a story that might just change the way we think about domestic violence and the hidden battles fought behind closed doors.
