On December 10, 1984, 29-year-old Judy Tolane Wardrip was last seen at the family-run Bethany Motel in Bethany, Missouri, where she worked alongside her sister. She arrived for work around noon and brought her Lhasa Apso, Moppett. That evening her sister found the motel unattended, which was described as highly out of character.

The motel scene offered puzzling details: a television left on and a half-full cup of coffee in a room Judy had been cleaning, while Judy’s purse, identification, money and other personal items remained behind and her car stayed in the parking lot. There were no signs of a struggle or forced entry and guests reported no unusual activity that day. Both Judy and her dog disappeared and investigators reportedly developed few leads.

Her family said Judy had purchased Christmas presents and showed no signs of depression; her father traveled from Texas to help search and believed she had been abducted. Does anyone remember Judy, Moppett, or seeing anything at the Bethany Motel on December 10, 1984?
