In this episode of Empty Nesters and True Crime, we delve into the perplexing case of Judy Smith, a devoted wife and mother who mysteriously vanished during a trip to Philadelphia in 1997. What started as a routine business trip turned into a chilling tale of disappearance, as Judy was last seen renting a red Ford Escort, only to be reported in a silver car by witnesses. Months later, her remains were discovered in the remote Pisgah Forest, raising more questions than answers. Join us as we unravel the strange circumstances, explore the theories, and examine the haunting details of Judy Smith's disappearance and tragic end.
And for our listeners who like to sip along, tune in to our YouTube channel to check out the Pisgah Punch, the perfect cocktail to accompany this eerie tale.
