A Cold
For Stevens, the day began to be like it did every other day. They were each armed with to-do lists. In order to get things done, Florence “Flora” Stevens’ husband took her to the local clinic to have her cold looked out. Flora’s husband also had a list of things to get done, so he took Flora to the clinic to get it checked out. She was driven to the clinic by Flora’s husband, who dropped her off with the intention of picking her up later that day. It didn’t occur to him, though, that he would be returning home alone that night. Florence was a vibrant 36-year-old woman who radiated with vitality. She craved excitement and adventure, which is why it was such a shock to discover that she had vanished while her husband was on his way to pick her up from the local clinic.
The Catskills Resort
The summer of 1975 was an exhilarating roller coaster ride of a period. There was a buzz in the air, and it was a high-spirited epoch in which the parties were never-ending and good times could be had by everybody, wherever they went. Flora’s happy hour happened to take place in her place of employment, which was fortunate. She worked at The Concord, a luxurious and trendy resort in the Catskills that was built in the 1920s. Because it had 1,200 rooms, the Concord was a popular destination for both tourists and locals looking to unwind.
