Joy's story is told largely in light of Stan's arrest for her murder. While much of her story had been told in the individual ones of Stan and their four offspring, this telling centers primarily on what happened to her starting on the day she went missing, including how her bicycle became abandoned at the side of the road, how her cell phone ended up in the laundry basket, why she tried to telephone all five of her family members, those telephone calls unreturned by the time the phone ended up in the laundry basket, how her bloodied shirt ended up buried in the neighbor's yard, and a fuller account of the argument between her and Stan that ended up on the recording seized by the police, that argument which was when Stan sustained his facial injuries. What is also included in this telling is if Savannah had anything to do with her disappearance, and the true nature of why Savannah "stumbled" onto the Delaneys' front door that day several months ago.
