She vanished after a night of bowling. Weeks later, she was found in a swamp, shot dead
Judy Bever, a 24-year-old mother, was shot twice and found six weeks after disappearing; no motive or suspects have emerged in the 52-year-old cold case.
- On the anniversary, investigators asked for new information, with the Sheriff's Office renewing its plea and urging tips via email to ACSOColdCases@anokacountymn.gov, quoting `Do you have information about this investigation? You don't have to tell us who you are, but please tell us what you know`.
- On Oct. 10, 1973, Bever was last seen after attending a mixed doubles bowling league and being dropped off near her Blaine, Minnesota home; her decomposed body was found six weeks later in a nearby swampy, wooded area.
- Investigators said Bever was shot twice with a.22-caliber firearm, one slug pierced her heart, and her body was found about 31 feet off County Road 87 near Highway 65 in a swampy area.
- No suspects have been charged, and investigators say they are exploring several leads despite many original leads drying up; Bever was 24 and a mother of two, underscoring the case's impact.
- 1973 newspaper coverage, including the Minneapolis Star and Duluth News Tribune, documented the investigation as Blaine, Minnesota grew into a suburb with more than 20,000 residents.
