On the last night of February, Judy Lecorno and her
boyfriend have an argument that leads to a suggested separation.
The next morning, her boyfriend asked Jody not to come
home that night, assuming she would stay at her parents'
house in Annapolis. After getting off work at Eastern Savings Bank,
the twenty three year old doesn't go to her parents house.
Jody decides to go out with friends to one of
(01:03):
her favorite hangouts, the Mount Washington Tavern. Our friends at
Crime Online have more details on what happened next.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
At last call, the manager asks Jody to drive an
employee of the tavern home, and Jody agrees. Lacorne who
drives the employee home to the Rowland Park area around
two am, then drives to an ATM to withdraw money.
Her boyfriend asked her not to come home, so Jody
is sitting in the parking lot of Calder in the
Townsend area at sixty four oh one York Road, just
(01:30):
around the corner from her home.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
At three AM, sitting alone in her Honda Civic in
the parking lot of Caldoor on York Road in Baltimore,
a white BMW pulls up close to Jody's car and
a man gets out of the BMW and approaches lacornow.
Jody rolls down her window and a brief exchange between
the two takes place. The man returns to his car.
It's three forty am when the man fires a thirty
(01:52):
eight caliber handgun through the back left passenger window of
Jody Laccarney's car. The bullet enters Jody's back, severing her spine.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Eyewitnesses at the Giant Supermarket and another person making a
delivery to Boston Market. Here the gunshot and hear Jody
driving across York Road and into the giant parking lot.
She circles the parking lot and coasts to a stop
after hitting a curb between the Boston Market and Firestone
Tire and Service Center.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
The shooter waits patiently for Jody Lecornu to come to
a complete stop in the parking lot, then pulls his
car directly behind hers. The shooter, a blackmail five ten
to six one and roughly two hundred and ten pounds
wearing a green fatigue style coat, gets out of his
car and reaches into Lecornu's car to put it in park.
He reaches across her body and takes her purse and
(02:39):
cell phone, then leaves the scene in his white BMW.
The time is three forty one and witnesses call nine
one one. In addition to the eyewitness accounts, there's also
surveillance footage and fingerprints from the crime scene, but no
arrest has been made.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Really, it only takes one person saying what they saw
that night to come forward, and it can be the
smallest detail that we just say. Know they could push
us in the right direction. And bring closure to these victims' families.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Baltimore County PD still asking for help identifying the suspect
in the white BMW from that night. Jody Lecornuo's twin sister,
Jennifer Carreri, continues to push for justice. She has placed
three huge billboards around Baltimore with a photo of Jody
and the words find my killer above her smiling face.

(03:26):

twin sister to justice. For more on the investigation of

year old has been missing more than three months. Here's
Nancy with more details.

Stephanie Damron lives in rural New Sweden, Maine, and is
homeschooled with her older sister. She and her sister stay
home alone while the parents are running errands. The two
get in an argument. Stephanie walks off into the woods.
She's very familiar with the trails and terrain around her hum,
so her family's not worried when she's not home. An
hour later, when three hours pass, her parents report her missing.
(04:54):
Investigator starts near the home. No trace of thirteen year
old Stephanie. Main State police and the FBI assisting following
leads in other states and Canada.

The FBI says they brought in their child abduction rapid
deployment team as soon as they became involved in the investigation.

does not have any electronic devices and has very limited
access to social media, but the FBI cannot remove the
possibility from the table. Investigators have now spent hundreds of
(05:26):
hours searching the woods, conducting interviews, and following leads. They
are now appealing for the public's help. Anyone with information
that aids in bringing Stephanie home or the arrest and
prosecution of anyone involved in her disappearance may qualify for

one hundred and thirty pounds, with shoulder length brown hair
(05:46):
