Our main goal in presenting these cases is to actually solve them. In this particular case, there is no usable DNA, no fingerprints and no eyewitnesses. Nothing concrete. 50 years later, there's very little hard evidence to work with. Below are some items that we know to be missing from Judy's car and/or were not found with her body. These items could be THE clue that can solve this case.
The reason we're attempting to get as many people (particularly in the Sacramento/SF Bay Areas) as possible to see this case is that there could be a scenario where someone is going through Grandpa's things (or uncle, brother, etc.) after he passes and they come upon a California driver's license with the name Judith Ann Hakari and a picture of a pretty brunette on it in his things.
Considering the length of time since this crime, even finding out WHO did it – even if they have passed – would help law enforcement tremendously, possibly closing other cold cases and bringing closure to families and the community.
Please familiarize with these missing items as well as the case – scroll down and go through our extensive Crimeline for a solid overview.
