A car that was found in the Concord River belonged to a 17-year-old who went missing almost 40 years ago, authorities in Massachusetts confirmed Tuesday. Judith Chartier was last seen leaving a party in Billerica around 2 a.m. on June 5, 1982.
According to Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, portions of the 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger were found in the river, and on Tuesday, they were matched to the Vehicle Identification Number of Chartier's car. Authorities did not say exactly when parts of the car were located.
"This is a very significant development in this case and we are still processing the car for any additional evidence," Ryan said in a statement. "Sadly, this discovery comes after nearly forty heartbreaking years of Judith's friends and family missing her and wondering about what happened that day. We are committed to continuing the search for those answers."
