On the morning of May 11, 1992, Jennifer Judd began her day like most any other. The vibrant 20-year-old had recently married Justin Judd, her high school sweetheart. The two had just settled into a small duplex in Baxter Springs, Kansas, and had only been married nine days, when tragedy struck.

That morning, Jennifer spent some time running everyday errands around town, before returning home later in the day. At around 2:30pm, Justin Judd returned home from work to find a horrific sight in the kitchen of his home.

What he discovered, was his bride, who had been violently attacked. Jennifer was stabbed multiple times with a knife taken from the family kitchen, with such force that the blade broke and remained lodged in her body. It was an attack that appeared to be deeply personal and fueled by rage.

In the weeks leading up to her death, Jennifer had confided in others that she was scared. She spoke about unsettling incidents at the duplex, including someone pounding on the door and attempting to turn the doorknob while she was alone inside. She also expressed fear about working late shifts alone at the convenience store where she was employed.

More than three decades have passed with no answers, and despite numerous interviews, early suspects, and even a false confession years later from serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones, no one has ever been charged in Jennifer’s murder.

The State of Kansas is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. Jennifer’s family has waited over 30 years for answers, accountability, and justice.

Jennifer’s story and her life mattered then, and still does now. Jennifer Judd deserves justice.

If you have any information regarding the death of Jennifer Judd, no matter how small, you are encouraged to contact the Baxter Springs Kansas Police Department at (620) 856-2112, the Cherokee County Oklahoma Sheriff’s Office at (620) 429-3992, or the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-KS-CRIME. You may do so anonymously.

On March 18, 1997, sixteen-year-old Jamie Michelle McChurin vanished in Muskogee, Oklahoma under circumstances that investigators have long believed involved foul play.

Her disappearance occurred in a remarkably short window of time, in a residential neighborhood, and in the presence of witnesses who were only briefly separated from her moments before she vanished.

Witnesses reported seeing a “dark colored sedan” in the vicinity about the same time as Jamie’s disappearance. The case has remained cold for over 27 years.

There have been several theories put forth regarding Jamie's disappearance. Those theories include:

1.Jamie left willingly on her own for some unknown reason.

This seems very unlikely, and was ruled out early. Jamie had plenty of reasons to not simply leave on her own. Her 14-month old, her job and plans to purchase a car is pretty good evidence that she did not leave willingly.

2. Opportunistic Abduction

In the research that I did, there were no other reported missing persons case in NE Oklahoma in 1997, specifically Muskogee and the surrounding areas. I looked at 1996-1998, and there were not that many, and most of them were solved or unrelated.

If it was an opportunistic stranger abduction, then it may have been someone from the area, because the house at F and Elmira sits smack dab in the middle of a decent sized neighborhood.

If it was someone passing through, then they put themselves in a very high-risk situation, with an unknown vehicle cruising the neighborhood at what I would imagine would be a slow rate of speed.

They also must have moved on pretty quickly, and committed no more abductions in that area for at least a year, based on the research I brought up earlier.

If it indeed was a stranger abduction, then the must have had either a knife or a gun, because I would imagine that Jamie would have put up quite a fight. And you would think that the teens in the house would have alerted to something like that.

3. Knowledge of an alleged affair.

There were rumors that Jamie may have had some kind of knowledge regarding an alleged affair, and was abducted because of this knowledge. This also lends to a planned abduction. The police, and others, seem to believe that this is the most likely theory, because they have received at least four tips from people claiming to have knowledge of the affair, and a possible retaliation against Jamie.

Those are just three of the possible theories regarding Jamie's disappearance. The truth is that we may never know exactly "what" happened to Jamie. However, there is also the question of "where" is Jamie?

Locating Jamie, whether alive or deceased, should be the priority of everyone involved in Jamie's case. Jamie's daughter and grandchildren deserve answers. At the very least, Jamie deserves a place to rest.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Jamie McChurin, no matter how small, you are encouraged to contact the Muskogee Oklahoma Police Department at (918) 683-8000 or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at (405) 848-6724. You may do so anonymously.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) in the U.S. and Canada, honoring missing/murdered Indigenous people and demanding justice for a crisis that disproportionately affects these communities.

Most everyone reading this is familiar with the names Natalee Holloway, Gabby Petito, Laci Peterson, and most recently, Nancy Guthrie.

These tragic cases kept, and still keep, millions tuned into the news and social media accounts of their horrible disappearances. We mourn for these ladies, as well as their family and friends. Their names, and who they are, should never be forgotten.

For every Nancy Guthrie, there are hundreds, if not thousands of names attached to lives that are all but forgotten. Most have never received any sort of national news coverage, or have their stories shared far and wide on social media.

This is where those stories will be told. This is where the truth will be sought. This, is where we begin...

May 5th is recognized as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIP) to highlight the high rates of violence against Indigenous people, particularly women and girls. It is a day for remembrance, action, and advocacy, often marked by wearing red.

In 2017, the Montana Congressional Delegation pushed for this day following the 2013 murder of Hanna Harris on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. President Biden formally designated May 5 as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Awareness Day in 2021.

The day aims to bring attention to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people—a problem often exacerbated by inadequate legal responses.

Wearing red is a common act of solidarity and remembrance for the missing and murdered.

So, won't you join me May 5th in wearing red in solidarity with the honoring of Missing, Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. You may also consider participating in or organize local, state, or tribal events.

Either way, I encourage you to learn the stories of missing and murdered indigenous women, while supporting Native-led organizations dedicated to addressing this issue.

As April comes to a close, one thing remains clear: this work does not end when the month does.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week helps shine a light on victims, survivors, and the importance of advocacy — but for families of the murdered, the need for support, remembrance, and justice continues long after the awareness week has passed.

At Project: Cold Case, we know that advocacy is not seasonal. Families live with these losses every day. They continue to carry birthdays not celebrated, holidays forever changed, and years of unanswered questions. Their loved ones still matter in May, in July, in December, and every day in between.

So we keep going.
We keep listening.
We keep acting.
We keep advocating.
We keep saying their names.
We keep sharing their stories.
We keep standing with the families who love them.

Because even when public attention fades, these lives still matter — and these cases still deserve to be remembered.
