Joyce's Profile: Pilot, Skydiver, Meditator

Before diving into the new theories, Ashley takes a moment to flesh out who Joyce LePage really was. This was not a passive young woman: she had her pilot's license by 18 and was actively taking skydiving lessons at 21. That same summer, Joyce was an initiated member of SIMS, the Student International Meditation Society, which practiced Transcendental Meditation. She attended weekly group sessions, had traveled to Spokane for a week-long course just a month before her disappearance, and was socially tied to at least three other members: married couple Mike and Celeste Lindbergh — the group's leaders — and their roommate Mark Wadley. All three lived at 400 Howard Street, just a few houses from where Joyce's abandoned car would later be found.
The Meditation Group Theory
Joyce was planning to move in with her meditation group — Mike and Celeste Lindbergh and Mark Wadley — whose house was just 3–4 houses from where her car was found. Police found zero connection between Joyce and the nearby frat house, making a visit to the meditation group the most logical explanation for her car's location.
