A 30-year-old cold case is back in the news after a gruesome discovery in Maine. Fox News has more.
“After Francis Julian passed away earlier this month, his family found human remains in his storage-unit freezer. The body, believed to be Kitty Wardwell, who disappeared back in 1983.”
Julian and Wardwell dated 28 years ago just before then 29-year-old Wardwell went missing. According to reports, at the time, Julian told authorities he left Wardwell at a motel after the couple got into a fight.
WGME reports the couple’s fights were cause for suspicion.
“Police say Julian and Wardwell often had fights and have since ruled that Wardwell was likely the victim of foul play. The identity of the woman found in that freezer has not been released, but police say it could be Wardwell.”
The autopsy will take place Monday. Stephen McCausland, a Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman, told the Sun Journal the body was inside an unplugged freezer within the storage unit.
“McCausland would not comment on the condition of the body. However, he said workers with the State Medical Examiner’s Office had to remove the freezer unit with the body still inside to perform an autopsy.”
Police say Julian has been renting the unit from Moore Self Storage since 1992. He died on October 1st at the age of 80. He was 52 at the time Wardwell was reported missing.
