Circumstances of Disappearance
On March 30, 1990, Doreen Marfeo disappeared from her Johnston, Rhode Island, home. Doreen and Stephen Marfeo lived in a house in Johnston, Rhode Island, a small town west of Providence. They were married seven years, but in 1990, their marriage was falling apart. Doreen was getting counseling, she even quit her job, to try and save her marriage, but it wasn't working.
On March 29th, 1990, something happened. Stephen Marfeo, who took 20 minute lunch breaks every other day, took a lunch break that lasted an hour and half. March 29th was the last day Doreen Marfeo was ever seen alive. Stephen Marfeo didn't report his wife missing for two and half days. Odd, considering Marfeo thought his wife was cheating on him, and hired two private investigators to follow her. At the Marfeo house there was no sign of struggle. Doreen' s car was still parked here. Everything normal, except, no Doreeen. She didnt' take any of her personal belongings. Searches yielded nothing.
In June the Police recieved two typewritten letters.
The first: an account of the murder of Doreen Marfeo. The letter reads:
"Doreen sleeping on couch in living room. Stephen got hot under the collar, and strangled Doreen. He stuffed Doreen's shoes and handbag in a shopping bag and tied it on her waist." The letter goes on to say: "Stephen dumped his wife's body in a Providence pond in the reeds." The letter concludes: "Marfeo is highly skilled in the fine art of deception."
The second letter accuses Doreen of affairs at work. It names co-workers. Police believe her husband sent the letters. This second letter is crucial, because investigators were able to identify the typewriter. It came from Stephen Marfeo's mother's house. Stephen Marfeo dnied having written the letters.
The local police suspects she was murdered by her husband, though they have never been able to prove it. In July 1999, nine years after Doreen's disappearance, Stephen Marfeo shot and killed his estranged girlfriend. Then, drove to Connecticut and killed himself.
