1990 - Johnston, Rhode Island.\n\nIn July of 1999, 50-year-old Stephen Marfeo took action on a violent plan: he shot and killed his ex-girlfriend, Laura Vincent, and attempted to kill her boyfriend, Sal Puleo, before ultimately taking his own life.\xa0\n\nFor police, this was an open and shut case fulled by jealousy and domestic violence. However, they held out hope that this tragedy would help them unravel the mystery of what happened to Stephen\u2019s wife, 34-year-old Doreen Ann Marfeo, who vanished without a trace from their Johnston, RI home in March of 1990.\n\nStephen told police that Doreen\u2019s behavior in the months leading up to her disappearance had taken a bizarre uncharacteristic turn. She abruptly quit her job, and was having late night panic attacks over something she couldn\u2019t bring herself to tell her husband.\n\nSeveral months later, police began receiving anonymous letters in the mail... letters that claimed to have intimate knowledge about Doreen, and detailed what allegedly happened to her the day she disappeared\u2026\n\nEpisode sources and photos: https://murdershetold.com/episodes/doreen-marfeo\n\nSupport the show: https://www.murdershetold.com/support\n\n\n\nInstagram: @murdershetoldpodcast\n\n\n\nTikTok: @murdershetold\n\n\n\nFacebook: /mstpodcast\n\n\n\nWebsite: murdershetold.com\n\n\n\nIf you have any information on the disappearance of Doreen Marfeo, please contact the Johnston Police Dept at (401) 231-4210 or leave a tip at tips@johnstonpd.com.\n-----\nLearn more about your ad choices.
