I was 10 years old when Joanie went missing. I grew up in River Vale about 1 mile from where Joanie and her family lived. The memories of that horrific crime never leave me. I did not know Joanie but I could certainly relate to her. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Joanie and pray for her and her family. Your Mom has done such wonderful work in your memory. May you always have eternal rest and peace in God’s loving arms.

Hello Mrs D’Alessandro,
I’m sure you don’t remember me but we shared some text messages about 12 years ago when I was a working paramedic for Hackensack at Pascack Valley Hospital. Our exchanges were about Joan, how the case affected me, and the information to write a letter to the parole board to keep that animal in jail. I was a young girl in Girl Scouts when the tragedy happened. At least it was a successful outcome. I have thought about you & your family often. I have since retired with a back injury, remarried, & moved to Virginia. Being out of state my knowledge of some news is limited. I was thinking that time for a parole board meeting might be at hand. If I can be of help or write more letters, please feel free to let me know. My next thing to do is to buy the book. I had no idea that you wrote one! I can’t wait to read it.
May God Bless you all!

Rosemarie thank you so much for your book. It is such a beautiful picture of your daughter she looks just like you. I need to ask you did you say Joans story was going to be on Netflix. I’m confused

Thank you for sharing. No the documentary is in film festivals right now and then the film maker hopes it will go on streaming but we will see.

I am so sorry this should not have happened. Joan and I are just a few months a part in age and we were Brownies Girl Scouts at the same time back then cookies were 1.25 a box. Continued prayers for the family.

I read about Joan’s story in a book written by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. Her family has created such a beautiful legacy for her, and banded together so admirably in times of tragedy.

I’m so very sorry that,that crazy horrible inhuman monster brutally raped and brutally killed beautiful, smart,sweet sensitive Joan. I was born in April the same year she was and so I was only 5 months older than Joan and we were both at the end of second grade.
