They had met 15 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,081 Speaker 2: through friends when Jennifer was fifteen years old and Justin 16 00:01:44,121 --> 00:01:47,561 Speaker 2: was sixteen, and they had only been married for nine days. 17 00:01:48,081 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: In fact, they had just gotten back from their honeymoon 18 00:01:50,841 --> 00:01:54,721 Speaker 2: in Branson, Missouri. These were busy times for a young couple. 19 00:01:55,441 --> 00:01:58,121 Speaker 2: Justin and Jennifer had relocated from Pitcher, where they were 20 00:01:58,161 --> 00:02:02,441 Speaker 2: both originally from to Baxter Springs, Kansas. They moved into 21 00:02:02,481 --> 00:02:06,361 Speaker 2: their duplex at two nineteen North Park Avenue. Though they 22 00:02:06,361 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: had been dating for years, this was the first time 23 00:02:09,041 --> 00:02:12,401 Speaker 2: they had ever lived together. Justin left for work that morning. 24 00:02:12,441 --> 00:02:16,081 Speaker 2: As usual. He worked as a guard at a nearby 25 00:02:16,161 --> 00:02:19,601 Speaker 2: chemical plant, and his shift started at six thirty am. 26 00:02:20,161 --> 00:02:22,801 Speaker 2: At the time, Jennifer also had a job at a 27 00:02:22,841 --> 00:02:26,481 Speaker 2: convenience store, but she wasn't working that day. That morning 28 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,561 Speaker 2: she left the house. According to media reports, she ran 29 00:02:29,601 --> 00:02:33,161 Speaker 2: some marins. Apparently Jennifer had an appointment at the tanning 30 00:02:33,161 --> 00:02:37,001 Speaker 2: bed that day, among other things. Justin had called her 31 00:02:37,041 --> 00:02:39,641 Speaker 2: in the morning, asking Jennifer to pack a lunch and 32 00:02:39,721 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: drop it off for him at work, but Jennifer never 33 00:02:42,721 --> 00:02:46,201 Speaker 2: showed up. When Justin came home from work at around 34 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,161 Speaker 2: two thirty pm, he walked into their apartment and found 35 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,161 Speaker 2: Jennifer on the kitchen floor, lying in a pool of blood. 36 00:02:54,001 --> 00:02:57,761 Speaker 2: This had been a frenzied attack. Jennifer had been stabbed 37 00:02:57,841 --> 00:03:01,681 Speaker 2: multiple times, and both of the weapons the two knives 38 00:03:01,721 --> 00:03:04,521 Speaker 2: she had been stabbed with had come from her own kitchen, 39 00:03:05,081 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: including the eight inch knife that was still sticking in 40 00:03:08,041 --> 00:03:12,281 Speaker 2: Jennifer's back. The killer or killers had attacked Jennifer with 41 00:03:12,321 --> 00:03:16,281 Speaker 2: so much force that one of the knives her wedding gift, 42 00:03:16,761 --> 00:03:21,161 Speaker 2: broke off inside her body. Jennifer's friend's family, and the 43 00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:24,961 Speaker 2: whole community, because this was a small town, were stunned 44 00:03:25,001 --> 00:03:28,641 Speaker 2: at the violence of this crime. Everyone was scared, but 45 00:03:28,761 --> 00:03:31,601 Speaker 2: all of them hoped that Jennifer's murder would be solved 46 00:03:31,841 --> 00:03:36,441 Speaker 2: very soon. But it wasn't, and thirty four years later, 47 00:03:37,041 --> 00:03:42,521 Speaker 2: Jennifer's killer is still out there. I'm Catherine Townsend.

This is Helen Gone Murder Line. From the beginning. 60 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,041 Speaker 2: Once police arrived at the crime scene, they did not 61 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,321 Speaker 2: think that Jennifer's killing was just a random robbery gone wrong. 62 00:05:03,121 --> 00:05:06,601 Speaker 2: First of all, no money had been stolen. Jennifer's purse 63 00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:08,881 Speaker 2: was still at the house and she had money inside it. 64 00:05:09,281 --> 00:05:12,241 Speaker 2: She was still wearing her wedding rings, and nothing appeared 65 00:05:12,241 --> 00:05:15,841 Speaker 2: to be missing from inside the home. Also, the knives 66 00:05:15,841 --> 00:05:18,921 Speaker 2: that were used to kill Jennifer came from inside her house. 67 00:05:19,481 --> 00:05:22,401 Speaker 2: We had a chance to speak with Justin for this podcast. 68 00:05:23,001 --> 00:05:25,681 Speaker 2: He talked to us about the horror he experienced that 69 00:05:25,801 --> 00:05:28,761 Speaker 2: day and the shock of losing the woman he had 70 00:05:28,801 --> 00:05:32,121 Speaker 2: married nine days earlier, someone who he had loved since 71 00:05:32,121 --> 00:05:36,001 Speaker 2: he was sixteen years old. Justin, who is now in 72 00:05:36,041 --> 00:05:39,281 Speaker 2: his fifties, told us about how he met Jennifer, in 73 00:05:39,321 --> 00:05:43,041 Speaker 2: their relationship, and the timeline of exactly what happened on 74 00:05:43,081 --> 00:05:46,241 Speaker 2: the day she was killed. Justin and Jennifer met at 75 00:05:46,241 --> 00:05:49,441 Speaker 2: a high school party when Justin was sixteen. Jennifer was 76 00:05:49,481 --> 00:05:52,521 Speaker 2: petene with brown hair and brown eyes. She was pretty 77 00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:56,801 Speaker 2: and popular in high school. Jennifer was homecoming queen. The 78 00:05:56,841 --> 00:06:00,601 Speaker 2: way that Justin described meeting Jennifer, it sounded like from 79 00:06:00,641 --> 00:06:03,081 Speaker 2: his end it was pretty much love at first sight. 80 00:06:04,201 --> 00:06:06,961 Speaker 3: I was at a party at a friend of mine 81 00:06:08,041 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: just It was like two weeks after I turned sixteen. 82 00:06:10,441 --> 00:06:13,481 Speaker 3: You know, I'd got my driver's lessons and my buddy 83 00:06:13,521 --> 00:06:15,561 Speaker 3: had a bunch of friends over his house. His parents 84 00:06:15,641 --> 00:06:20,201 Speaker 3: was gone, and he said, hey, goes, my girlfriend's got 85 00:06:20,241 --> 00:06:23,601 Speaker 3: a friend that wants to meet you. And like, okay, 86 00:06:23,881 --> 00:06:26,481 Speaker 3: you know, so we load up and truck and we 87 00:06:26,601 --> 00:06:28,921 Speaker 3: go over to Picture and you know, it's selling four 88 00:06:28,961 --> 00:06:31,921 Speaker 3: cell phones and everything. You know, I met her and 89 00:06:32,001 --> 00:06:34,561 Speaker 3: we pretty much so dated until we got married. 90 00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: Justin and Jennifer dated for four years. They married in 91 00:06:38,241 --> 00:06:41,001 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two. Both of them were twenty years old. 92 00:06:41,841 --> 00:06:44,841 Speaker 2: Justin mits that he and Jennifer had their share of arguments. 93 00:06:45,281 --> 00:06:49,481 Speaker 2: He has called her a spitfire. Jennifer's sister, Amanda Davis, 94 00:06:49,761 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: has stated in interviews with journalists that at one point, 95 00:06:52,921 --> 00:06:57,481 Speaker 2: Jennifer considered calling the wedding to Justin off Justin admitted 96 00:06:57,521 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: they both considered canceling the wedding during arguments, but he 97 00:07:01,281 --> 00:07:03,881 Speaker 2: said neither of them were serious. He said leading up 98 00:07:03,921 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: to the wedding, the conflicts they were having, in his opinion, 99 00:07:07,241 --> 00:07:10,681 Speaker 2: could mostly be chalked up to immaturity. Justin did admit 100 00:07:10,801 --> 00:07:14,201 Speaker 2: their relationship had its ups and downs, like any young 101 00:07:14,241 --> 00:07:16,841 Speaker 2: couple about to take a big step, but he said 102 00:07:16,841 --> 00:07:20,161 Speaker 2: they were very happy together. He described Jennifer as not 103 00:07:20,201 --> 00:07:22,521 Speaker 2: only his wife, but his best friend. 104 00:07:23,161 --> 00:07:26,041 Speaker 3: We both went through a little period where we thought, 105 00:07:26,081 --> 00:07:28,641 Speaker 3: you know, maybe we shouldn't do this. You know, we're 106 00:07:28,681 --> 00:07:32,081 Speaker 3: young and all that, and and you know, we both decided, 107 00:07:32,081 --> 00:07:34,401 Speaker 3: you know that it is going to happen eventually, so 108 00:07:34,441 --> 00:07:35,841 Speaker 3: we might as well just go ahead get married. So 109 00:07:35,961 --> 00:07:38,241 Speaker 3: we did. If you can recall back when you were 110 00:07:38,281 --> 00:07:39,881 Speaker 3: sixteen and stuff, you know, you got a lot of 111 00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:42,361 Speaker 3: girl and pains, and we just, you know, we went 112 00:07:42,401 --> 00:07:44,881 Speaker 3: through them together. We you know, justically grew in our 113 00:07:44,961 --> 00:07:48,081 Speaker 3: teens together. And she wasn't, you know, just my girlfriend. 114 00:07:48,081 --> 00:07:50,561 Speaker 3: She was pretty much so like my best friend. You know, 115 00:07:50,601 --> 00:07:55,041 Speaker 3: you go through them stages where you know, jealousy stages, 116 00:07:55,081 --> 00:07:57,921 Speaker 3: and you know, we went through all that. You know, 117 00:07:58,041 --> 00:07:59,801 Speaker 3: we made we made it through all that stuff. So 118 00:07:59,841 --> 00:08:01,841 Speaker 3: we figured, you might as well just get married now, 119 00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,721 Speaker 3: so we did. 120 00:08:03,801 --> 00:08:07,321 Speaker 2: Justin said that on the day Jennifer was murdered, looking back, 121 00:08:07,721 --> 00:08:10,721 Speaker 2: there were some things that were unusual that day For 122 00:08:10,841 --> 00:08:14,041 Speaker 2: one thing, Justin said, he ate breakfast that morning, then 123 00:08:14,241 --> 00:08:18,081 Speaker 2: he fell back asleep and actually overslept, so he ended 124 00:08:18,161 --> 00:08:21,041 Speaker 2: up waking up and leaving for work quickly, and in 125 00:08:21,081 --> 00:08:24,361 Speaker 2: his haste he forgot to bring in his packed lunch. 126 00:08:24,881 --> 00:08:27,601 Speaker 3: That morning for some reason. And that's something I never do. 127 00:08:28,001 --> 00:08:31,961 Speaker 3: I got up and I ate breakfast, and I went 128 00:08:32,001 --> 00:08:33,841 Speaker 3: and laid back down to bed, and I fell back 129 00:08:33,841 --> 00:08:36,721 Speaker 3: to sleep, and they were called and said, hey, are 130 00:08:36,721 --> 00:08:39,561 Speaker 3: you coming in? I was like, yeah, okay, so, and 131 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,161 Speaker 3: I didn't live very far from work, so I went 132 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: and jumping the truck and left. 133 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:49,121 Speaker 2: So sometime between approximately nine and nine thirty am, Justin 134 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,801 Speaker 2: called Jennifer from work. He asked if she would bring 135 00:08:51,841 --> 00:08:55,561 Speaker 2: his lunch in, which she agreed to do. But Jennifer 136 00:08:55,641 --> 00:08:58,641 Speaker 2: never showed up that day, so Justin started calling the 137 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:02,961 Speaker 2: house and getting no answer. Justin was getting concerned. And 138 00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: then a few minutes before noon, something else out of 139 00:09:06,481 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: the ordinary happened. A friend of Justin's, Charles Chuck Chance, 140 00:09:11,201 --> 00:09:13,881 Speaker 2: who had actually been a guest at their wedding, stopped 141 00:09:13,881 --> 00:09:17,121 Speaker 2: by Justin's work that day. This was something Justin said 142 00:09:17,161 --> 00:09:19,681 Speaker 2: he thought was odd because Chuck had never come to 143 00:09:19,721 --> 00:09:23,641 Speaker 2: his work before Chuck told Justin he had gone to 144 00:09:23,801 --> 00:09:26,521 Speaker 2: Justin and Jennifer's house. He said he knocked on the 145 00:09:26,521 --> 00:09:30,481 Speaker 2: front door, but that Jennifer didn't answer. Chuck was unemployed 146 00:09:30,521 --> 00:09:33,281 Speaker 2: at the time and later told police he had spent 147 00:09:33,321 --> 00:09:37,281 Speaker 2: the morning driving around going to job interviews. Chuck told 148 00:09:37,401 --> 00:09:39,361 Speaker 2: Justin when he got to the chemical plant that he 149 00:09:39,441 --> 00:09:43,601 Speaker 2: was concerned about Jennifer. To this day, this statement by 150 00:09:43,841 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: There's Justin. After his shift finished at two thirty pm, 151 00:09:48,361 --> 00:09:52,001 Speaker 2: Justin and Chuck rode separately back to Jennifer and Justin's home. 152 00:09:52,721 --> 00:09:55,921 Speaker 2: When they got to the apartment, Justin said Jennifer's car 153 00:09:55,961 --> 00:09:58,721 Speaker 2: was in the driveway. He looked inside it and saw 154 00:09:58,801 --> 00:10:03,481 Speaker 2: his packed lunch. Later, when police searched Jennifer's nineteen eighty 155 00:10:03,481 --> 00:10:07,281 Speaker 2: four black Mercury Cougar, they would bag up the sandwich 156 00:10:07,321 --> 00:10:10,401 Speaker 2: and banana that was presumably meant to be Justin's lunch 157 00:10:10,801 --> 00:10:14,641 Speaker 2: and label it as evidence. When Justin and Chuck got 158 00:10:14,681 --> 00:10:17,641 Speaker 2: to the front door, Justin noticed the door was unlocked, 159 00:10:17,961 --> 00:10:20,481 Speaker 2: which he says was very unusual. 160 00:10:21,241 --> 00:10:25,321 Speaker 3: Got to work, and around ten o'clock or eleven o'clock, 161 00:10:25,921 --> 00:10:28,001 Speaker 3: Chuck showed up at my work and he stayed there 162 00:10:28,121 --> 00:10:31,401 Speaker 3: till I got off at three and he went home 163 00:10:31,441 --> 00:10:33,881 Speaker 3: with me, and her car was there. I remember reaching 164 00:10:33,921 --> 00:10:36,441 Speaker 3: down and grabbing the door and opening the door, and 165 00:10:36,481 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: it wasn't locked, and I and you know, it's always 166 00:10:39,321 --> 00:10:41,001 Speaker 3: a big thing of mine, you know, with hers, you know, 167 00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:44,721 Speaker 3: I always locked the door, you know. I walked and 168 00:10:44,801 --> 00:10:48,921 Speaker 3: it was dark, and I believe I seen her keys 169 00:10:48,961 --> 00:10:51,881 Speaker 3: in the floor, and for some reason, I turned and 170 00:10:52,161 --> 00:10:53,921 Speaker 3: went to the bedroom. I guess I just you know, 171 00:10:53,921 --> 00:10:55,361 Speaker 3: since all the lights off, I assumed that she was 172 00:10:55,441 --> 00:10:57,521 Speaker 3: laying down. So I go in the bedroom and I 173 00:10:57,561 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: noticed that it looked like the bed was made, but 174 00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:03,401 Speaker 3: it looked like somebody had laid down on the side 175 00:11:03,401 --> 00:11:05,161 Speaker 3: of the bed, you know, just laid back down on it, 176 00:11:05,161 --> 00:11:08,481 Speaker 3: because it was kind of ruffled. And I turned around 177 00:11:08,481 --> 00:11:10,161 Speaker 3: and walked over walked into the kitchen. And I walked 178 00:11:10,201 --> 00:11:11,961 Speaker 3: into the kitchen. I've seen her laying on the floor, 179 00:11:12,481 --> 00:11:15,161 Speaker 3: and my first thought was was she was which you know, 180 00:11:15,201 --> 00:11:17,841 Speaker 3: I didn't know a whole lot about medicine and stuff 181 00:11:17,841 --> 00:11:19,561 Speaker 3: back then, but I knew she was a knemi shed 182 00:11:19,761 --> 00:11:23,161 Speaker 3: uh kind of a blood disorder, and I thought, well, 183 00:11:23,361 --> 00:11:26,081 Speaker 3: she passed out, you know, and I reached over, I 184 00:11:26,121 --> 00:11:28,881 Speaker 3: put the light on and and I seen that, you know, 185 00:11:29,601 --> 00:11:31,801 Speaker 3: her eyes were outed and she was passed. I reached 186 00:11:31,841 --> 00:11:34,321 Speaker 3: down and felt her neck and it was cold and hard. 187 00:11:35,241 --> 00:11:39,201 Speaker 3: But the weird thing is is I I never seen 188 00:11:39,241 --> 00:11:42,561 Speaker 3: any blood. And according to the KBI, there was a 189 00:11:42,561 --> 00:11:45,601 Speaker 3: lot of blood everywhere and said that people will will 190 00:11:45,641 --> 00:11:51,241 Speaker 3: block that out as a defense mechanism. Yeah, I didn't 191 00:11:51,241 --> 00:11:51,841 Speaker 3: see any blood. 192 00:11:53,321 --> 00:11:57,241 Speaker 2: What Justin witnessed was horrible. Chuck had walked into the 193 00:11:57,241 --> 00:12:01,441 Speaker 2: apartment with him, and to this day, Justin said that 194 00:12:01,561 --> 00:12:05,041 Speaker 2: what he described as Chuck's out of character behavior bothered 195 00:12:05,121 --> 00:12:10,961 Speaker 2: him both before they discovered Jennifer's body and after when. 196 00:12:10,801 --> 00:12:13,721 Speaker 3: We was walking into the house. He made a call 197 00:12:13,801 --> 00:12:15,281 Speaker 3: and he said, I can here's the bitch. And now 198 00:12:15,961 --> 00:12:18,161 Speaker 3: I'm thinking, and you know, that's kind of it's one 199 00:12:18,161 --> 00:12:20,201 Speaker 3: of one of the things that just was just really odd. 200 00:12:21,601 --> 00:12:24,721 Speaker 3: And then we go in and you know, we find 201 00:12:24,721 --> 00:12:29,081 Speaker 3: her and stuff, and he just starts, I'm scared. I'm 202 00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:33,081 Speaker 3: scared and shaking and stuff. And I wasn't, you know, 203 00:12:33,121 --> 00:12:35,441 Speaker 3: I was just you knowing shock. And I said call 204 00:12:35,561 --> 00:12:37,481 Speaker 3: nine one one, and he grabbed the phone and he 205 00:12:37,481 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 3: couldn't call, so I get the phone and I call 206 00:12:40,521 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: and I called nine one one, and don't I don't 207 00:12:43,601 --> 00:12:50,801 Speaker 3: know what it was that I felt. I felt like 208 00:12:50,841 --> 00:12:52,761 Speaker 3: when the paramedics got there, I felt like everything's gonna 209 00:12:52,761 --> 00:12:54,761 Speaker 3: be okay. When they walked through, I felt like everything 210 00:12:54,801 --> 00:12:58,041 Speaker 3: was gonna be okay, you know, And it wasn't. But 211 00:12:59,761 --> 00:13:01,521 Speaker 3: the paramedics got there, and you know, we went outside 212 00:13:01,561 --> 00:13:02,321 Speaker 3: and I never went back in. 213 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,321 Speaker 2: Once police arrived at the scene, they immediately figured out 214 00:13:35,401 --> 00:13:38,081 Speaker 2: this had been a knife attack. Part of an eight 215 00:13:38,121 --> 00:13:41,441 Speaker 2: inch kitchen knife was sticking out of Jennifer's back, but 216 00:13:41,721 --> 00:13:44,361 Speaker 2: that knife and the other knife invested the Gators believe 217 00:13:44,481 --> 00:13:48,561 Speaker 2: was used during the killing were never recovered, so police 218 00:13:48,681 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: had no murder weapon, and they struggled to figure out 219 00:13:52,041 --> 00:13:56,121 Speaker 2: a motive. Police interviewed a lot of people, but seemed 220 00:13:56,161 --> 00:13:59,001 Speaker 2: to hit a dead end early on. One problem could 221 00:13:59,001 --> 00:14:01,721 Speaker 2: have been the lack of physical evidence and the fact 222 00:14:01,721 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: that DNA testing back in nineteen ninety two was not 223 00:14:05,041 --> 00:14:08,601 Speaker 2: what it is today, so is there evidence that could 224 00:14:08,601 --> 00:14:12,001 Speaker 2: be retested. They did find hairs at the crime scene 225 00:14:12,041 --> 00:14:15,161 Speaker 2: on Jennifer's bed, and it has been reported that the 226 00:14:15,201 --> 00:14:17,561 Speaker 2: hairs did not belong to anyone in the Judd family, 227 00:14:18,401 --> 00:14:21,761 Speaker 2: but there hasn't been any information released about what happened 228 00:14:21,761 --> 00:14:25,321 Speaker 2: to those hairs, whether they were tested against other suspects, 229 00:14:25,361 --> 00:14:28,961 Speaker 2: and what the status of that evidence is today. There 230 00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:33,561 Speaker 2: may have been other complications as well. Justin has stated 231 00:14:33,601 --> 00:14:36,201 Speaker 2: in the past he believed that crime scene was not 232 00:14:36,241 --> 00:14:40,201 Speaker 2: secured properly. He said that there were multiple people allowed 233 00:14:40,241 --> 00:14:44,361 Speaker 2: inside his and Jennifer's home that Day's said he knows 234 00:14:44,361 --> 00:14:48,241 Speaker 2: that because he saw what went down. Still in the beginning, 235 00:14:48,561 --> 00:14:51,441 Speaker 2: Jennifer's family and friends were hopeful that her killer would 236 00:14:51,481 --> 00:14:55,041 Speaker 2: be caught quickly. Jennifer was very well known in town. 237 00:14:55,401 --> 00:14:58,441 Speaker 2: She was heavily involved in her community and dedicated to 238 00:14:58,441 --> 00:15:02,241 Speaker 2: her Christian faith. She played softball and basketball, and she 239 00:15:02,361 --> 00:15:05,121 Speaker 2: was an active member of her church, the First Baptist Church. 240 00:15:05,961 --> 00:15:10,001 Speaker 2: According to newspaper reports, more than seven hundred and fifty 241 00:15:10,001 --> 00:15:12,961 Speaker 2: people showed up for Jennifer's funeral at the First Baptist Church. 242 00:15:13,721 --> 00:15:16,681 Speaker 2: So many people came to her funeral it was standing 243 00:15:16,761 --> 00:15:20,481 Speaker 2: room only. People were actually spilling out onto the church lawn. 244 00:15:21,281 --> 00:15:25,521 Speaker 2: Jennifer's autopsy has not been made public, but details and 245 00:15:25,561 --> 00:15:28,721 Speaker 2: pages from it have been posted to several online sources. 246 00:15:32,001 --> 00:15:35,761 Speaker 2: Jennifer was stabbed nine times. She was stabbed six times 247 00:15:35,801 --> 00:15:37,921 Speaker 2: on the left side of her chest. One of those 248 00:15:37,961 --> 00:15:41,601 Speaker 2: stab wounds went through her heart. Three more stab wounds 249 00:15:41,641 --> 00:15:45,921 Speaker 2: were found on Jennifer's back on the left sid The 250 00:15:45,961 --> 00:15:50,561 Speaker 2: actual cause of death was exanguination, meaning Jennifer blood to death, 251 00:15:51,121 --> 00:15:54,161 Speaker 2: and the autopsy report estimated the time of death at 252 00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:59,361 Speaker 2: approximately ten thirty am. A private investigator named Stephen M. 253 00:15:59,401 --> 00:16:02,081 Speaker 2: Garrett worked on the case for a long time. He 254 00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:06,121 Speaker 2: prepared an investigative report that included a lot of original documents. 255 00:16:06,641 --> 00:16:09,481 Speaker 2: A lot of pieces of this report have been posted 256 00:16:09,681 --> 00:16:14,481 Speaker 2: and quoted online. At some point, this report stated that 257 00:16:14,521 --> 00:16:17,521 Speaker 2: Stephen had reached out to the medical examiner, who told 258 00:16:17,561 --> 00:16:21,201 Speaker 2: him that, in their opinion, that Jennifer's killer hated her, 259 00:16:21,961 --> 00:16:26,161 Speaker 2: calling the murder overkill. The stab wounds buried in depth. 260 00:16:27,001 --> 00:16:29,641 Speaker 2: Two of the stab wounds to Jennifer's chest were one 261 00:16:29,681 --> 00:16:32,841 Speaker 2: and three quarter inches deep, Another was one in a 262 00:16:32,921 --> 00:16:36,801 Speaker 2: quarter inch steep. Other stab wounds were between one and 263 00:16:36,881 --> 00:16:39,561 Speaker 2: one and a half inches deep. Some were even shallower, 264 00:16:39,841 --> 00:16:42,321 Speaker 2: between five eighths of an inch to one inch deep. 265 00:16:43,201 --> 00:16:46,961 Speaker 2: According to the autopsy report, Jennifer had other cuts on 266 00:16:47,041 --> 00:16:50,321 Speaker 2: her left hand her left eye and her scalp. All 267 00:16:50,361 --> 00:16:53,881 Speaker 2: of the abrasions, including the five inch abrasion on her scalp, 268 00:16:54,001 --> 00:16:57,641 Speaker 2: were caused by quote blunt trauma by a heavy instrument, 269 00:16:57,921 --> 00:17:01,001 Speaker 2: fist or foot end quote, So it appears as though 270 00:17:01,081 --> 00:17:04,721 Speaker 2: Jennifer's killer hit her and then, judging by the abrasion, 271 00:17:04,801 --> 00:17:07,921 Speaker 2: which is usually caused by some kind of friction, Jennifer 272 00:17:08,001 --> 00:17:11,361 Speaker 2: probably hit her head on something, or the abrasion could 273 00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:14,721 Speaker 2: have happened when Jennifer's head was against the floor. There 274 00:17:14,761 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: was a struggle. The killer grabbed a knife. Once the 275 00:17:17,721 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: struggle started, it was a fight to the death, judging 276 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,321 Speaker 2: by the stab wounds on Jennifer's front and back. The 277 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 2: wounds on her back, by the way, were also all 278 00:17:26,321 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: entry wounds. Whatever happened was an instant. It took time 279 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,121 Speaker 2: to kill Jennifer, and her killer had many moments when 280 00:17:33,161 --> 00:17:36,761 Speaker 2: they could have paused or stopped, but they didn't. But 281 00:17:37,041 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: why would someone kill Jennifer? Sexual assault did not appear 282 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,001 Speaker 2: to be the motive, at least not on the surface. 283 00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 2: The autopsy did not find any evidence that Jennifer had 284 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,801 Speaker 2: been raped or sexually assaulted in any way, and though 285 00:17:50,921 --> 00:17:55,321 Speaker 2: Jennifer could be as her friend's family and husband described her, feisty, 286 00:17:55,801 --> 00:17:59,041 Speaker 2: She was also very well loved. No one could think 287 00:17:59,041 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 2: of anyone who would want to hurt her. It is 288 00:18:02,321 --> 00:18:05,721 Speaker 2: possible that what some people believes the overkill aspect of 289 00:18:05,721 --> 00:18:09,001 Speaker 2: the crime, the multiple stabbings, may not have been someone 290 00:18:09,001 --> 00:18:12,161 Speaker 2: who had a hatred for Jennifer personally. It could also 291 00:18:12,201 --> 00:18:14,881 Speaker 2: be someone who didn't know her at all. It could 292 00:18:14,881 --> 00:18:20,241 Speaker 2: indicate a killer who was inexperienced and panicked. In nineteen 293 00:18:20,321 --> 00:18:23,161 Speaker 2: ninety eight, the Kansas Bureau of Investigations got a cold 294 00:18:23,201 --> 00:18:27,161 Speaker 2: case squad. They started looking into Jennifer's case. In two 295 00:18:27,241 --> 00:18:31,161 Speaker 2: thousand and one, a local newspaper reported that Ray London, 296 00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:35,041 Speaker 2: a KBI senior special agent and coordinator of the squad, 297 00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:37,441 Speaker 2: told them the squad had been working on the case 298 00:18:37,521 --> 00:18:40,361 Speaker 2: for two years straight at that point, and that quote, 299 00:18:40,521 --> 00:18:45,121 Speaker 2: an arrest might come soon end quote then nothing happened. 300 00:18:45,801 --> 00:18:49,201 Speaker 2: The KBI did more public outreach on the fifteenth anniversary 301 00:18:49,201 --> 00:18:53,121 Speaker 2: of Jennifer's murder in two thousand and seven. Over the years, 302 00:18:53,281 --> 00:18:57,001 Speaker 2: there have been several people named as possible suspects. One 303 00:18:57,001 --> 00:19:00,721 Speaker 2: of the biggest questions in the investigation was was Jennifer's 304 00:19:00,801 --> 00:19:05,201 Speaker 2: killer someone she knew and possibly invited inside. Remember the 305 00:19:05,241 --> 00:19:10,041 Speaker 2: door was unlocked, but also Jennifer's keys were on the floor. 306 00:19:10,121 --> 00:19:12,641 Speaker 2: Could someone have surprised her at the door and pushed 307 00:19:12,681 --> 00:19:29,081 Speaker 2: her inside? Could someone have been stalking Jennifer. Jennifer's father, 308 00:19:29,201 --> 00:19:33,201 Speaker 2: Dale Bryan, told the Joplin Globe he believed Jennifer might 309 00:19:33,201 --> 00:19:36,721 Speaker 2: have had a stalker. He said, five days before her 310 00:19:36,721 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: brutal murder, she told a friend someone was pounding on 311 00:19:40,201 --> 00:19:43,561 Speaker 2: her door hard. She was so freaked out by that. 312 00:19:43,801 --> 00:19:47,921 Speaker 2: Apparently she hid from this person. Jennifer's father also told 313 00:19:47,961 --> 00:19:50,081 Speaker 2: the paper he had followed her home because she thought 314 00:19:50,121 --> 00:19:53,441 Speaker 2: that someone was following her, though this happened several months 315 00:19:53,481 --> 00:19:57,481 Speaker 2: before the murder. We asked Justin if Jennifer ever mentioned 316 00:19:57,521 --> 00:20:01,441 Speaker 2: anything about anyone following her. Justin said that, from what 317 00:20:01,561 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: he could remember, she had not. He also does not 318 00:20:04,961 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: remember her ever saying anything about someone pounding on the door. 319 00:20:09,121 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 2: Justin said, based on what the Kansas Bureau of Investigations 320 00:20:12,361 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: said to him, he believed they were completely focused on 321 00:20:15,681 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: his friend, Chuck Chance as the main suspect. Over the years, 322 00:20:20,121 --> 00:20:23,441 Speaker 2: Chuck has been arrested multiple times and spent time in jail. 323 00:20:23,881 --> 00:20:28,641 Speaker 2: For things like public intoxication, grand larceny, obstructing a police officer, 324 00:20:29,401 --> 00:20:32,761 Speaker 2: escaped from jail, possession of a stolen vehicle, etc. There 325 00:20:32,761 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 2: are court documents pertaining to fights he had with family members, 326 00:20:36,441 --> 00:20:40,041 Speaker 2: but the court record as of now shows no arrests 327 00:20:40,121 --> 00:20:43,641 Speaker 2: for other violent crimes. Pllice did talk to Chuck about 328 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,081 Speaker 2: what he was doing before he went to Justin's work 329 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: that day. At the time, Chuck was married and had 330 00:20:48,641 --> 00:20:51,201 Speaker 2: a one year old daughter. He lived about a ten 331 00:20:51,241 --> 00:20:53,961 Speaker 2: to fifteen minute drive from where Jennifer and Justin lived. 332 00:20:54,641 --> 00:20:57,921 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, there was a podcast called Who 333 00:20:58,001 --> 00:21:01,561 Speaker 2: Killed Jennifer Judd, and the host was deputized as part 334 00:21:01,601 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: of her research into the case, so she got access 335 00:21:04,121 --> 00:21:07,521 Speaker 2: to the case files. On the podcast, she read from 336 00:21:07,641 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 2: Chuck Chance's statements. According to what is said on the podcast, 337 00:21:11,441 --> 00:21:13,721 Speaker 2: Chuck said that he left home that morning at around 338 00:21:13,801 --> 00:21:16,801 Speaker 2: seven am and went to a fitness center. Once he 339 00:21:16,881 --> 00:21:19,321 Speaker 2: was there, he spent about half an hour in a whirlpool, 340 00:21:19,441 --> 00:21:22,321 Speaker 2: then took a shower and left. Then, he said he 341 00:21:22,361 --> 00:21:25,361 Speaker 2: went to Jennifer and Justin's house. That's when Chuck told 342 00:21:25,441 --> 00:21:29,281 Speaker 2: police Jennifer didn't answer the door. Chuck said something else. 343 00:21:29,281 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: According to the podcast, he said that he saw a 344 00:21:31,921 --> 00:21:34,681 Speaker 2: quote a woman who he assumed might be a saleswoman 345 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,521 Speaker 2: end quote. Chuck went on to say this woman actually 346 00:21:37,521 --> 00:21:40,281 Speaker 2: came up to his vehicle and asked about Justin and Jennifer. 347 00:21:41,041 --> 00:21:44,241 Speaker 2: Chuck claimed he told this person that Justin and Jennifer 348 00:21:44,241 --> 00:21:47,401 Speaker 2: were his friends and they lived in the apartment complex. Now. 349 00:21:47,641 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: Chuck claims that this woman was walking up to Jennifer 350 00:21:50,401 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 2: and Justin's apartment and knocking on their door as he 351 00:21:53,241 --> 00:21:57,241 Speaker 2: drove off. After that, Chuck said he went to Pittsburgh, Kansas. 352 00:21:57,721 --> 00:22:00,561 Speaker 2: He claimed he stopped at a convenience store at nine am, 353 00:22:00,961 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 2: and then he named a couple of businesses where he 354 00:22:02,881 --> 00:22:06,161 Speaker 2: said he stopped in. His last stop was the Hicks Corporation. 355 00:22:06,681 --> 00:22:10,121 Speaker 2: After filling out an application there, he said he left 356 00:22:10,121 --> 00:22:14,321 Speaker 2: for Justin's work at around nine forty two am. He 357 00:22:14,521 --> 00:22:17,201 Speaker 2: said he and Justin hung out there until Justin got 358 00:22:17,201 --> 00:22:19,921 Speaker 2: off work at two thirty PM, and then they drove 359 00:22:19,961 --> 00:22:23,561 Speaker 2: to Justin and Jennifer's home. According to the podcast, on 360 00:22:23,681 --> 00:22:27,321 Speaker 2: the next day, May twelfth, Chuck called police and changed 361 00:22:27,321 --> 00:22:31,441 Speaker 2: his story slightly. He told the authorities he'd actually left 362 00:22:31,441 --> 00:22:35,681 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh between ten and ten fifteen am, not nine forty two, 363 00:22:36,201 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: and he remembered he'd made a couple of stops on 364 00:22:38,641 --> 00:22:41,561 Speaker 2: his roof, one in Commerce, where he said he stopped 365 00:22:41,601 --> 00:22:44,561 Speaker 2: at the bank. He claimed he was at the bank 366 00:22:44,601 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: in Commerce at exactly eleven thirty, And he claimed he 367 00:22:47,121 --> 00:22:50,201 Speaker 2: remember that because at that time he was planning on 368 00:22:50,281 --> 00:22:52,801 Speaker 2: depositing a check, but the teller was going on their 369 00:22:52,881 --> 00:22:56,201 Speaker 2: lunch break, so he wasn't able to do it. Instead, 370 00:22:56,361 --> 00:22:58,601 Speaker 2: he drove on to the chemical plant and got there 371 00:22:58,681 --> 00:23:01,921 Speaker 2: at eleven forty five. The rest of the story about 372 00:23:01,921 --> 00:23:04,801 Speaker 2: his getting to Justin's work right before lunchtime at around 373 00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:07,841 Speaker 2: eleven forty five, was the same. He said he showed up, 374 00:23:07,881 --> 00:23:09,961 Speaker 2: stayed until two thirty, and then they went back to 375 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,161 Speaker 2: Justin's place and found the body. According to a search 376 00:23:14,241 --> 00:23:18,761 Speaker 2: warrant affidavit which we've seen, police interviewed Chuck. He quote 377 00:23:19,161 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: admitted to the touching of certain knives located upon the 378 00:23:22,121 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: counter in the kitchen and to being present in the 379 00:23:24,641 --> 00:23:29,401 Speaker 2: bedroom where certain foreign hairs were discovered end quote. Police 380 00:23:29,481 --> 00:23:33,481 Speaker 2: were clearly suspicious of Chuck, but that interview, in my opinion, 381 00:23:33,601 --> 00:23:36,161 Speaker 2: is not a smoking gun. Chuck could have touched the 382 00:23:36,201 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 2: knives and been in the bedroom. He was friends with 383 00:23:38,441 --> 00:23:41,321 Speaker 2: Jennifer and Justin. That would not have been super out 384 00:23:41,361 --> 00:23:45,481 Speaker 2: of the ordinary. In fact, told us Chuck had spent 385 00:23:45,521 --> 00:23:47,881 Speaker 2: a lot of time in that apartment. He said Chuck 386 00:23:48,001 --> 00:23:51,921 Speaker 2: actually helped him and Jennifer move into that place. In 387 00:23:51,921 --> 00:23:55,521 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, it was reported police had tested DNA 388 00:23:55,961 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: hair and fingerprints from the crime scene, and based on 389 00:23:59,681 --> 00:24:04,081 Speaker 2: this DNA evidence, police ruled Chuck out because his hair 390 00:24:04,121 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: and prints were not a match to anything from the 391 00:24:07,161 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: crime scene. 392 00:24:09,241 --> 00:24:12,721 Speaker 3: The KBI Hanson Bureau investigations, they had me pretty well 393 00:24:12,801 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: convinced of who it was, and since then, I just 394 00:24:20,641 --> 00:24:24,521 Speaker 3: found out within the last year that there's DNA evidence 395 00:24:24,601 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 3: that made him not the person. So I'd been thirty 396 00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:35,841 Speaker 3: some years with that in my mind, having you know, 397 00:24:36,161 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 3: thinking I had figured out, you know, what all had 398 00:24:38,121 --> 00:24:40,321 Speaker 3: happened and stuff, and then that hit me and that 399 00:24:40,441 --> 00:24:42,961 Speaker 3: was pretty pretty rough. So then it just opened up 400 00:24:42,961 --> 00:24:45,561 Speaker 3: all this speculaums in my mind, you know, and you 401 00:24:45,601 --> 00:24:49,561 Speaker 3: know of who it could be. But the DNA has 402 00:24:49,601 --> 00:24:51,561 Speaker 3: been put in in the database and it didn't come 403 00:24:51,641 --> 00:24:56,001 Speaker 3: up with the match. He got cleared by DNA, But still, 404 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,041 Speaker 3: I mean, and it's crazy, but still in my mind 405 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: the way he acted that day and stuff, And I mean, 406 00:25:02,641 --> 00:25:04,721 Speaker 3: who goes to somebody who work and sifts there half 407 00:25:04,721 --> 00:25:06,801 Speaker 3: a shift with them? You know, whether it worked, I mean, 408 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,281 Speaker 3: it just and he'd never done that before, and he 409 00:25:09,401 --> 00:25:13,241 Speaker 3: just acted really strange that day. And there's still in 410 00:25:13,281 --> 00:25:15,201 Speaker 3: my mind there's still something there. 411 00:25:16,201 --> 00:25:20,641 Speaker 2: So what evidence do they have. Over the years, police 412 00:25:20,681 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 2: in Cherokee County and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation haven't 413 00:25:24,401 --> 00:25:27,521 Speaker 2: talked much about it. They just made some statements saying 414 00:25:27,601 --> 00:25:30,041 Speaker 2: there were items taken and that they have been tested. 415 00:25:31,001 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: According to a May twelfth, nineteen ninety two search warrant, 416 00:25:34,721 --> 00:25:38,281 Speaker 2: eighteen items were taken as evidence from the house. Those 417 00:25:38,361 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 2: included a bed spread, blue shorts, purple night shorts, a 418 00:25:42,441 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 2: minute made popcan, a knife rack holding eleven knives and 419 00:25:46,161 --> 00:25:49,361 Speaker 2: a pair of scissors, a drawer with kitchen knives, sheet 420 00:25:49,441 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 2: rock pieces, a red coat hanger, hair samples, and a 421 00:25:53,441 --> 00:25:56,801 Speaker 2: piece of carpet from the kitchen area. Next week, in 422 00:25:56,921 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: Part two, we're going to take another look at this 423 00:25:59,641 --> 00:26:02,841 Speaker 2: evidence and try to find out what the test results were, 424 00:26:03,481 --> 00:26:06,761 Speaker 2: what they mean, and if there is evidence that can 425 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: be retested, and we'll take a look at some of 426 00:26:10,401 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: the other suspects, including a serial killer. Jennifer Judd's case 427 00:26:15,721 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: is still unsolved, and there is a five thousand dollars 428 00:26:19,121 --> 00:26:22,561 Speaker 2: reward still active for any information leading to the arrest 429 00:26:22,601 --> 00:26:26,761 Speaker 2: and conviction of Jennifer's killer.

She was kind of jerking your own stuff 442 00:27:10,521 --> 00:27:12,641 Speaker 3: in a dream, and she raised up on the bench. 443 00:27:12,761 --> 00:27:14,521 Speaker 3: And because you know, back then, I always heard you 444 00:27:14,561 --> 00:27:16,321 Speaker 3: don't wake somebody up when they're dreaming, you know, so 445 00:27:17,161 --> 00:27:18,801 Speaker 3: I just laid there and she just raised up in 446 00:27:18,801 --> 00:27:21,481 Speaker 3: the bed.
