Judith Ann Mattise, known as Judy, was 55 when she disappeared from New Haven, Michigan, on the afternoon of May 19, 2003. She was last seen driving a silver 2003 Chevrolet Impala with dark-tinted windows, Michigan plate 3AQW95, near Main Street and Haven Ridge Road. Judy was described as a white woman, about five feet seven inches, 145 pounds, with short blond hair and blue eyes, and she had an injured ankle at the time. Her daughter reported her missing on May 21 after failing to contact her.

Three days after Judy was last seen, her estranged husband James David Mattise Sr. was found dead by suicide in his pickup truck. He left a note to the couple’s children whose wording implied his involvement in Judith’s disappearance and suggested she might be in a large pile; that prompted a landfill search that recovered nothing. The family later raised concerns after odors and cleaning-product smells were noted at the business dumpster and a son found a tarp and rope in a vehicle at the family’s Las Vegas property. A judge declared Judith legally dead in August 2004, but her remains have never been found.

Did anyone in New Haven or the surrounding area see Judith’s Impala or notice anything unusual around May 19–21, 2003?
