Пропавшие без вести
Хроники подлинных уголовных расследований
Алексей Ракитин
1997 год. Таинственная история Джуди Смит…

"Кости с фрагментами сильно разложившейся плоти была рассеяны на площади около 100 кв. м, как стало ясно из результатов судебно-медицинского исследования, труп подвергся разрушению каким-то довольно крупным животным вроде лисицы или енота. Человек при жизни был одет в синие джинсы, клетчатую рубашку, носил женское нижнее бельё. В карманах одежды были найдены 167$ наличными.

Также на полянке, где охотники обнаружили останки, были найдены аккумуляторный фонарь и книга в мягкой обложке. Тут же находился черно-синий рюкзак, а в нём — мужское теплое бельё и довольно дорогие очки. Расцветка рюкзака, а также его содержимое наводили на мысль о принадлежности мужчине, что до некоторой степени сбивало с толку, ведь на скелетированных останках оказалось женское бельё!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Judy_Smith

On September 7, 1997, hunters in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest found human bones, clothing, and some other items scattered in the woods near a campground. The remains, most of which were around a shallow grave, were identified as belonging to a woman between the ages of 40 and 55 with a seriously arthritic knee. Due to holes and cuts on her bra, and similar cutting marks on the bones, investigators ruled that the unidentified decedent had been stabbed to death.[1]

Dental records and the arthritic knee soon led the body to be identified as that of Judy Smith (born Judith Eldredge; December 15, 1946, in Hyannis, Massachusetts), a 50-year-old nurse from Newton, Massachusetts, who had last been positively seen alive by her husband Jeffrey at a hotel in Philadelphia almost five months earlier.

Background

Judy Bradford (her name from her second marriage), a home care nurse in the Boston area, met Jeffrey Smith, a lawyer, when she cared for Smith's father for a week following the latter's throat surgery in the mid-1980s. Jeffrey later recalled Judy's devotion to his father's care, and how she used a window curtain rod in the absence of a proper holder for his father's IV bag. Jeffrey, a divorcé with a grown daughter, began dating Judy, who also had two adult children from a previous marriage, and in September 1996, the two wed.[2]

Jeffrey's work as a lawyer was also related to health care; he represented the Northeast Pharmaceutical Conference, an organization of researchers and executives primarily from New England. Eight months after their marriage, the couple planned their first trip together, attending a conference in Philadelphia from April 9–11, 1997. Following that, they planned to spend the rest of the week visiting friends in nearby New Jersey.[2]
