The Disappearance of Judith Leo-Coneys Part 2 (Vermont)

It was described as one of Vermont\u2019s most frustrating cold cases. A dedicated mother and beloved school teacher disappeared in November of 1979, with nothing but a smashed up vehicle and a strange hand-written note left behind. When her ex-boyfriend disappeared a month later, too, authorities had two people to track down \u2013 one they presumed to be dead, and the other they suspected of causing her death. The search for the suspect would become a cross-country event, tracking aliases and addresses out west until finally, a dedicated detective and a new State\u2019s Attorney saw eye to eye on what needed to be done in the case, what needed to be done for Judith Leo-Coneys.
