Did Joyce LePage Leave Behind a Clue to Her Killer?

In July 1971, 21-year-old Joyce LePage disappeared from the campus of Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Months later, her remains were discovered in Wawawai Canyon near Colfax, Washington, wrapped in a section of green carpet that had vanished from Stevens Hall the same night Joyce disappeared.
More than five decades later, investigators still believe this case can be solved. And today, only a handful of theories remain.
In Part 2 of this Crime Junkie investigation, Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat examine the remaining suspects and unanswered questions that have kept the murder of Joyce LePage active for more than 50 years.

You’ll hear about the meditation group Joyce had recently become close to, the mysterious letter Joyce wrote about one member’s violent past, why investigators revisited former roommate Bruce Bierbaum decades later, the inconsistencies in witness statements and alibis, the classmate who abruptly left Washington State University after Joyce disappeared, and the evidence detectives believe still holds the key to identifying Joyce’s killer.

This episode also explores newly uncovered investigative records, polygraph results and changing witness statements, why Joyce’s abandoned car remains one of the biggest mysteries in the case, advances in forensic technology that could finally provide answers, and the questions investigators are still asking.

Joyce LePage was a Washington State University student studying chemistry and German, a licensed pilot and skydiving enthusiast, a writer, musician, and adventurer, and a young woman whose future was cut short in the summer of 1971.
Today, Whitman County investigators continue to actively pursue leads, and Joyce’s family has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to justice. If you know anything about the murder of Joyce LePage, call the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office at (509) 397-6266 and ask for Sheriff Brett Myers. No tip is too small.
