Dematerialized: The Mysterious Disappearance of Marcia Moore

The baffling true story of Marcia Moore--heiress, astrologer, and yoga master--who sacrificed her well-to-do life to study metaphysics and experiment with a mind-bending psychedelic, until her mysterious disappearance in 1979. On a bitterly cold night in January of 1979, the heiress to the Sheraton Hotel fortune vanished without a trace. This is the true story of Marcia Moore--daring author, yoga teacher, astrologer, and occultist. She experimented with the psychotropic anesthetic ketamine, in the same vein as Timothy Leary´s consciousness-expanding research with LSD. Her interest in psychedelics has only added to the wild theories about Moore´s mysterious death in the four decades since. Psychics, astrologers, and armchair sleuths have all had their say. Now it´s time to set the record straight. In 1980, famous true crime author Ann Rule referred to Marcia´s disappearance as "probably the strangest case I have ever written about. One day, there may be answers." After years of painstaking research, this book reveals those answers about a case as multifaceted and intriguing as the woman who perished so tragically. This is the story of a bold woman, raised well-to-do and just a stone´s throw from Walden Pond, who took the road less traveled--and paid for it with her life.
