Judy Smith was in Philidephia with her husband for a work conference of his in April of 1997 when she went missing and was later found over 600 miles away deceased from what is thought to be homicidal violence.

Judy had to take a seperate flight from her husband from Boston to Philadelphia due to forgetting her ID. Her ticket was used but no one on the plane remembered her.

Just a few hours after her husband she arrived at the hotel where the conference was being held and where she would be staying. The next morning her husband, Jeff, went to breakfast alone and left for the confrence while she was in the shower, she reportedly was going site seeing alone that day.

There were many sightings of someone looking like Judy that day but none were confirmed and there was a lookalike woman in the area.

However, when she didn't return to the hotel to go to a cocktail party with Jeff by 6pm, which she agreed to do, he got worried and started looking.

For months nothing was found but eventually a skeleton was found over 600 miles away that is thought to be Judy.

How did she get so far? Why did she end up in an area she had never been to? Join me to discuss all the odd details of the case and the many theories that have come up over the years.
