The Mysterious Man Last Seen With Joan Webster #truecrime #truecrimestories | Forensic Files

But, here's where things start to get really weird. Joan walking to the exit is the last confirmed sighting of her by
anyone who knew her. But, the best lead that police get is actually from someone who doesn't even
know her at all. Sometime in the first week of the investigation, this cab driver comes forward and says that
around 10:45 p.m. that night, a woman matching Joan's description came up to his cab outside the terminal, like
knocked on his window, and asked Cambridge, right? That's where Harvard is. Feels a lot like Joan.
>> Yeah. But, the woman wasn't alone. According to the driver, an older man was with her. Not like old old, but like
older than the 25-year-old Joan, right? And the driver thought maybe this guy's like in his 40s. He's a white guy, about
5'7" with curly hair and a beard, and he was wearing these like round glasses, which was like, I think pretty common
for the time. Now, this matches no one that Joan's family claims to know. But, the driver said that the woman
seemed [music] to know this guy. >> felt like familiar. Yeah, or the woman who we think is Joan. But, here's where
things start to get really weird. So, this driver's like, "Yep, Cambridge, I got you." So, the driver goes to pick up
the guy's suitcase, and it is super heavy. So, he makes a comment to the guy about how heavy the suitcase was.
And all of a sudden, the man gets really aggressive. He told the driver he didn't
like the way that he was handling his luggage, and he told the woman, "You know what? Like, we don't even need this
cab after all." So, he pulls the luggage back out of the trunk and leads her away
toward another cab, this blue [music] one. And this cab driver just kind of like watches as they drive off in this
blue car.

A cab driver told police that a woman matching Joan Webster’s description approached his taxi outside Logan Airport asking for a ride to Cambridge — but she wasn’t alone.

After the driver commented on how heavy the man’s suitcase was, the older man with her suddenly became aggressive, pulled the luggage from the trunk, and left with her in another cab... a blue one.
