Body Found In Freezer Could Be Woman Missing Since 1983 - Nancy Grace Blogs
A medical examiner was expected to begin work on an autopsy Monday to determine the identity of a body found in a freezer last week that police believe could be the remains of a woman who has been missing for 28 years.
Kitty Wardwell has not been seen since June 6, 1983, according to Maine State Police. A friend reported the 29-year-old missing several days later and her “on-again off-again boyfriend,” Frank Julian, claimed he dropped her off at a motel in Salem after a fight. Police eventually determined that she was likely the victim of foul play.
The unidentified body was discovered Friday in an unplugged freezer inside a storage unit that belonged to Julian until his recent death. Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland confirmed Monday that Julian had rented that unit since 1992.
