She was murdered and the beginning of the series. The rest of the episodes reveal that she had been working in an underground burlesque house with the wealthy men of the town as clients. The FBI agent's investigation leads him to encounter the various strange characters on the show that all have their own seedy background, but in the end it turns out that Laura's father had been possessed by the spirit of a killer named Bob and that he had killed her. Bob could then take the girl's spirit and keep her in another realm, called "The Black Lodge". Dale Cooper finds the entrance to the Black Lodge in the forest in the last episode and then is possessed himself by Bob. (It's very bizarre; I heard that the series was written episode-to-episode, and that's why it's so hard to follow and jumps around so much).

The backstory (and Laura Palmer's fate) is explained in the feature film "Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me". The series got so oblique toward the premature end,the last episodes are still indeciperable (viewers got put off by this and quit watching in droves because of this and a bunch of ABC network pre-emptions [a few them Desert Storm-related] as the series dragged on). Rent that DVD and you'll have your answers.
