January of 2010 JoAnn Matouk Romain had
a lot on her mind. She was going through a divorce, there were
family squabbles and hard feelings. She stopped by her church, St.
Clare for a short prayer service which was hoped would bring her
peace. Her SUV was found in the church parking lot with the keys in
it, her purse and ID were there but JoAnn was gone. There was one
set of foot prints found leading from the church parking lot across
the street and stopping at Lake Clare. The lake feeds into The
Detroit River and JoAnn's body was recovered there 70 days after
she disappeared, cause of death "dry drowning." What happened that
night to JoAnn?
