A baby’s cry was the first clue that something was off in a quiet New Hampshire apartment.
On the afternoon of May 20, 1975, the operations manager at an apartment complex in Concord, New Hampshire, knocked on 22-year-old Judith “Judy” Lord’s door to collect unpaid rent. When no one answered, he let himself inside and found Lord’s 20-month-old son crying alone in his crib. In an upstairs bedroom, the manager found the slain mother’s naked body on the bed, a blue plastic sauna suit pulled tight over her face.
