The Death of Patricia Wing: Murder or Accident?

Published: March 22, 2021, 7:30 a.m.

MAINE, 1958: Patricia Wing hadn’t been seen in over 24 hours, not since the afternoon of Tuesday, June 3, 1958. As a 29-year old mother of five, it was highly unusual. Her husband Wendell and her youngest son Harvey were both home sleeping that afternoon, but Patricia left no clues, no indication that when she left the house that day it would be for the last time.

The case that unraveled from that June afternoon would reveal secrets kept from spouses, an imperfect investigation in a small, rural county, and a compelling case by the defense that is still questioned to this day. Was it all an unfortunate accident?
