Description

On November 11, 1969, 20-year-old Joyce Helen Malecki left her Baltimore home to go Christmas shopping at Harundale Mall in Glen Burnie, Maryland. She never came home.

Two days later, her body was found on the grounds of Fort George G. Meade, a U.S. Army installation between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. An autopsy determined that she had been strangled.

More than fifty years later, Joyce’s case remains unsolved. But in December 2023, the FBI exhumed her remains as part of a renewed effort to extract DNA evidence — a sign that investigators are still searching for answers after more than half a century.

This episode traces Joyce’s final known movements, the jurisdictional handoff that shaped her investigation, and the modern forensic efforts that could finally unlock a breakthrough.
