In 1978, Renee Curtiss began dating her much older boss, Joe Tarricone, but quickly grew tired of his persistent marriage proposals and lavish gifts. Despite moving to Washington to separate herself from him, Joe continued to visit until one day he vanished, only for his remains to be discovered decades later.
