Jennifer Judd was a 20-year-old newlywed when she was found murdered in her Baxter Springs, Kansas duplex on May 11, 1992. Married nine days earlier, she had told her father she felt uneasy because someone had been trying to get into the duplex. Justin Judd left for work that morning and spoke with Jennifer by phone around 9 a.m.; she agreed to bring his lunch but never arrived. Her body was discovered about 2:45 p.m. in the kitchen, beaten and stabbed nine times with a knife from her own kitchen set; the blade remained in her body but the handle was missing.

There were no signs of forced entry, and no robbery or sexual assault was reported. Investigators questioned several people, including Justin’s friend Chuck Chance, who had been with Justin when the body was found and whose car was seen near the duplex that morning; Chance was never arrested. A later confession by a convicted offender, Jeremy Jones, was recanted and could not be corroborated. The crime scene was reportedly contaminated early on, and no arrests have been made; a Governor’s Reward of $5,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone have information about Jennifer, the duplex, or that day that could help bring justice?
