Murder of Jordie Hudson
When Jordie Hudson’s mother officially reported her missing on April 14, 2016, she had no way of knowing the horror of what her daughter, an accomplished artist, already endured days earlier. On April 9th, a chance encounter resulted in Jordie’s murder. The aftermath of her death is even more horrific, involving the US Marshals, the recovery of her body from a shallow grave and two reported lovers who would ultimately turn on each other in connection to the murder.
