Police investigate leads in missing woman case
Posted Wed Jun 20, 2007 3:17pm AEST

Map: Parkes 2870
Detectives in Parkes, in central western New South Wales, are preparing a brief of evidence for the coroner over the disappearance of a woman from Gunningbland more than six years ago.

Judith Anne Young was reported missing by her brother in August 2001, but was last seen leaving her property at Gunningbland in December 1999.

Detective Senior Constable John Alderson says Parkes police are investigating several leads to try to provide the family with some closure.

"We haven't ruled out anything really, we're ... seeking information from the community that may assist us in further inquiries," he said.

Letter provides clue to what happened to missing JudithArjun Ramachandran
May 29, 2009

Missing ... Judith Young. Photo: NSW police
The writer of an anonymous letter mailed to police claims to know the mystery behind the disappearance of a minor country music identity 10 years ago, police say.

Judith Young was last seen by her husband the day the pair separated in December 1999.

On that day she left their rural property in Gunningbland, near Parkes, and then disappeared, leaving behind a vehicle, horses, and country music artists that she managed.

It wasn't until 18 months later that she was reported missing, when Mrs Young's brother contacted police to say he hadn't heard from her in two years and didn't know where she was.

Since then police have appealed to the public numerous times for information about Mrs Young's whereabouts.

The case is also being investigated by the coroner, which as recently as three weeks ago, ordered police to search the Gunningbland property.

The search turned up nothing and there have been few leads in the case.

But the case had a possible break on Monday, when a letter arrived at Parkes police station in the post.

"What's in the letter - I won't tell you exactly - but what's in the letter [is an] an acknowledgement by the author that they know something about this [woman's disappearance]," said Parkes police crime manager Paul Jones.

But the letter was unsigned and had no information about who sent it.

Police were analysing the letter and the envelope to work out where it may have been sent from, but Detective Inspector Jones appealed for the writer to contact police by phone, and said they could remain anonymous.

The case has baffled police, and friends and relatives of Mrs Young have painted a picture of a "strange" woman who could occasionally disappear for months.

"It's quite difficult ... she realistically has got no known relatives," Detective Inspector Jones said.

"She's got one brother, who's not very well, physically and mentally.

"And it's complicated by the fact she was not reported missing for a number of years."

Phil Young, Mrs Young's estranged husband, told smh.com.au last year that when they separated she told him she was leaving for Queensland.

He did not believe Mrs Young had met any harm, or that her disappearance was out of character.

"Before I met her she lived in 16 places in four years - in Queensland, she lived everywhere."

But Bill Henry, Mrs Young's brother, said the disappearance was out of character and feared she had been murdered.

"She was very attached to our three daughters ... and there's no way she'd go so long without making some form of contact," he said last year.

Among a number of business pursuits, Mrs Young was a country music singer and managed local bands. The local music association said she often left town as part of her work as a band manager, and wouldn't be seen for months.

Another friend, Lindy, described her as a "strange" woman with her "finger in every pie".

"She was just different, she had some weird friends. There was one lady that was the fortune telling type, things like that," Lindy said.

"She did some funny things. She told me at one stage that she'd tell [her husband] Phil she was going to Orange and little did he know she'd go to Sydney and back - I don't know what that was about.

"She had a finger in every pie, she always tried to make a dollar.

"She used to get into men's work. She used to buy sleepers from the railways and saw them up for wood and sell them. She'd pick up the sleepers and go into town [to drop them off in her truck] wearing high heel shoes and short skirts."

Anyone with information can phone Parkes Police on 6862 9977 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police believe a handwritten letter could hold the key to the disappearance of a woman from rural NSW a decade ago.

The letter was sent in May this year to detectives investigating the disappearance of Judith Young, a 40-year-old woman last seen on her Gunningbland property, about 30 kilometres from Parkes, in mid-December 1999.

Police say the letter contains details of Mrs Young's disappearance that could only come from someone with "intimate knowledge of the case".

“We believe it is genuine and it has undergone forensic examination," Detective Senior Constable Scott Baker, from Strike Force Ullswater, said.

“At this stage, for various investigative reasons we are not at liberty to divulge the letter's contents, suffice to say it is vital we speak with the author.

“We are also appealing for anyone who recognises the handwriting to give us a call.”

Ms Young, a "happy-go-lucky" woman who doted on her three neices, was reported missing by her brother more than 18 months after she was last seen.

She had separated from her husband the day she left their property and was believed to be heading for Queensland, where she'd previously gone to buy Andalucian horses.

Police at the time said Mrs Young, who would now be 49, left behind her car, a Valiant, and two or three horses when she left.

Her estranged husband, Phil Young, said last year her disappearance was not out of character and he had spoken to her in late 2000, more than a year after she left Gunningbland.

But her brother, Bill Henry, said he was worried his sister had been murdered.

"She was very attached to our three daughters ... and there's no way she'd go so long without making some form of contact," Mr Henry told smh.com.au in July 2008.

"[Since disappearing] she's never used her Medicare card [despite having ongoing medical problems], and she left money in the bank which if you know Judy was completely unnatural - she had to spend it as soon as she got it.

"She was a happy-go-lucky person, used to sing country and western music.

"But she didn't seem to have a purpose in life - she didn't want kids - but she was very generous to people."

Anyone with information about Mrs Young's disappearance should immediately contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Letter offers clue in missing woman case
Posted 3 hours 44 minutes ago
Updated 3 hours 45 minutes ago


Possible clue: The envelope of the handwritten letter (ABC)

Map: Parkes 2870
New South Wales Police have released images of a handwritten letter they believe could be a breakthrough in the investigation into the disappearance of a woman from near Parkes, in the state's central west, 10 years ago.

Forty-year-old country music singer Judith Young was last seen in 1999 on a property at Gunningbland.

Since then, police have conducted several searches of properties in the area, but have failed to find any trace of her.

In May, police received a handwritten letter regarding Mrs Young's disappearance, revealing information that could only have come from someone with intimate knowledge of the case.

After appeals for the writer to come forward failed, police have released images of the letter in the hope someone may recognise the writing.

Parkes police investigating the disappearance of a local woman are again appealing for the author of a letter to come forward.

Detectives are investigating the disappearance in 1999 of Gunningbland woman Judith Young.

They were sent a handwritten letter about her disappearance in May this year which has been forensically examined.

Detective Senior Constable Scott Baker, from Strike Force Ullswater, says the letter is believed to be genuine and could have only come from someone with intimate knowledge of the case.

Police have released an image of the letter's envelope and are appealing for the author anyone who recognises the handwriting to contact them.

THIS is the envelope that could hold the key to solving the mystery of the disappearance and suspected murder of country music singer Judy Henry.
Almost 10 years after Henry was last seen, police received the anonymous letter which they said contained crucial information which only someone close to the case would know.

The letter arrived soon after a three-day search in May by police with cadaver-sniffer dogs of properties including the farm belonging to Henry's husband Phil Young outside the tiny village of Gunningbland near Parkes.

The search was ordered by the coroner. After a plea for the letter writer to contact them failed, detectives released the envelope in the hope someone recognises the handwriting.

Detective Senior Constable Scott Baker from Strike Force Ullswater, formed in 2001 to investigate Henry's disappearance, described the letter as a possible breakthrough.

"At this stage for various investigative reasons we are not at liberty to divulge the letter's contents, suffice to say it is vital we speak with the author," Sen Constable Baker said. "We believe it is genuine."

Henry's sister-in-law Marnie Henry said she believed the search had made the letter writer feel guilty about what they knew.

"I hope they have the dignity to come forward," Mrs Henry said.

Henry, also known as Judy Young, sang and managed the country music band Burnt Earth.

Marnie Henry last saw her in late 1999 after her sister-in-law collected some of the band's CDs from her house in Sydney before driving back to Gunningbland where she had recently married farmer Phil Young.

Mr Young has said his wife left him shortly after she returned from Sydney, and he had not seen her since.

Missing nine years ... where's Judy?EmailPrinter friendly versionNormal fontLarge fontArjun Ramachandran

Page 1 of 3 | Single page
People at times disappear, but to just disappear as she has ... we know she hasn't used credit cards or Medicare cards ... It tends to make us believe something has happened to her
Missing ... Judith Young.


Advertisement
On the day Judith Young separated from her husband, she left their rural property and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a vehicle, horses, and the country music artists she managed.

No one reported her missing for more than 18 months and now, nine years after she disappeared, police have launched a fresh appeal for information about her whereabouts.

Mrs Young, also known by her maiden name Judith Henry, was last seen by her husband after leaving their home at Gunningbland, near Parkes, in mid-December 1999. She would now be 48.

"The situation was that, in December 1999, she left the family property ... she left there after she and her husband separated," Inspector Steve Howard, from Parkes police, said.

"She left on that day ... and, we believe, to go to Queensland.

"A missing person report was not made until August 2001, when her brother rang to indicate he hadn't heard from her in two years and didn't know where she was."

The information that Mrs Young was leaving for Queensland had come "primarily from her husband'', said Detective Senior Constable Michael Maloney.

Left behind car and horses

At the Gunningbland property she had left her car, a Valiant, and two or three horses.

"She travelled quite extensively and even up to Queensland to purchase ... Andalucian horses.''

Mrs Young had also bought and sold second-hand wares from around the Parkes area, he said.

Phil Young, Mrs Young's estranged husband, said it was "rubbish'' that Judith's last contact with any family members was the day they separated, in December 1999.

He said Mrs Young had called both him and her sister-in-law in late 2000.

"There was contact made with her sister-in-law ... Judith was abusing her over the phone.

"I spoke to her probably a couple of months after that. She wouldn't [say where she was], I assumed she was in Queensland.''

He said Mrs Young had been "under pressure'' from her brother and his wife around the time she disappeared.

Reluctant

However, he would not elaborate, and said he was reluctant to discuss the case any further ahead of a likely coronial inquest.

He was unaware police had launched an appeal, and said he did not believe Mrs Young had met any harm. He did not believe her disappearance was out of character.

"Before I met her she lived in 16 places in four years - in Queensland, she lived everywhere.
"I'm hoping [any inquest] doesn't uncover anything - the last thing I want to find out is that something happened to her.''

Asked if he thought she was OK and living elsewhere, he said: ``I hope so.''

Bill Henry, Mrs Young's brother, said her disappearance was out of character. He feared she had been murdered.

Attached

"She was very attached to our three daughters ... and there's no way she'd go so long without making some form of contact.

"[Since disappearing] she's never used her Medicare card [despite having ongoing medical problems], and she left money in the bank which if you know Judy was completely unnatural - she had to spend it as soon as she got it.

"She was a happy-go-lucky person, used to sing country and western music.

"But she didn't seem to have a purpose in life - she didn't want kids - but she was very generous to people.''

Mr Henry said his last contact with Mrs Young was in late 1999, when he and his wife had asked Judith to visit him after he had a quadruple bypass. She had been unable to come.

A former employee also said he worked for a business run by Mrs Young, collecting discarded railway sleepers around Parkes, which Mrs Young would then sell to others.

Country music

Police also described Mrs Young as a "country music identity".

"She wasn't huge, she was tied up with some bands out here and used to go to Tamworth and manage a few bands as a booking agent," Inspector Howard said.

"A lot of people in the industry would have known her."

The Country Music Association of Australia said it had not heard of a Judith Young, or a Judith Henry.

But Cheryl Chamberlain, from Parkes and District Country Music Association, said Mrs Young had also been an accomplished musician, in addition to managing bands.

"She did sing and play guitar. She sang quite well. She started managing a few bands [booking them at venues] in the Central West."

Mrs Chamberlain said she did not know Mrs Young personally, but said she often left town as part of her work as a band manager.

"Judy used to go away and you wouldn't see here around town for months," she said.

"[When she disappeared] people just thought she was just gone and would turn up again."

She was a strange girl: friend

A friend, who wished only to be known as "Lindy", described Mrs Young as "strange", but someone she got on well with. Lindy had known Mrs Young for about eight years before she disappeared.
"She was a strange girl, a lot of people had problems with her but I got on quite well with her, I took her at face value," she said.

"It's hard to put in words, unless you knew Judy.

"She was just different, she had some weird friends. There was one lady that was the fortune telling type, things like that.

"She did some funny things. She told me at one stage that she'd tell [her husband] Phil she was going to Orange and little did he know she'd go to Sydney and back - I don't know what that was about.

"She had a finger in every pie, she always tried to make a dollar.

"She used to get into men's work. She used to buy sleepers from the railways and saw them up for wood and sell them.

"She'd pick up the sleepers and go into town [to drop them off in her truck] wearing high heel shoes and short skirts."

Lindy and her husband met Mrs Young through their common love of country music, and had also attended her wedding to Phil about a year or two before she went missing, Lindy said.

She did not know much about Phil, whom she described as a "very quiet sort of fellow".

Lindy had also worked for Mrs Young's company, Billabong Music, as a typist, she said.

"A lot of people say she did not pay them, or gave them a valueless cheque, but she always paid us.

"We're always looking, you never stop looking," she said. "We were at a country music festival in June, and saw someone and thought 'That looks a bit like Jude', and of course you walk closer and it looks nothing like her."

Anyone with information can phone Parkes Police on 6862 9977 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

New lead in Parkes missing woman case
Posted Wed May 27, 2009 9:29am AEST

Map: Parkes 2870
Police in Parkes in central-west New South Wales are appealing for the author of a letter sent to them to come forward to help investigate the disappearance of a woman 10 years ago.

Judith Ann Young - also known as Judith Henry - from Gunningbland, west of Parkes, was reported missing in 2001, but may have disappeared in 1999.

Police believe she may have met with foul play.

Following on from a search of a Gunningbland property, detectives received a letter indicating the writer has some knowledge about Ms Young's disappearance.

Lachlan Area Command crime manager Paul Jones says he believes the anonymous letter was sent from the local area.

"It was forwarded by normal mail, it had a stamp on it, it was handwritten in a normal standard size envelope," he said.

Police are appealing for the person who sent the letter to contact them via the Parkes police station on 02 6862 9977 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The search for a missing Parkes woman in Darwin has proven unsuccessful.

Lachlan police have been in the Northern Territory for almost a week to investigate reported sightings of Judith Ann Young, who vanished more than 10 years ago.

Officers have ruled out a Darwin woman, who was thought to be the 49-year-old, from their investigations.

The Lachlan crime manager, Detective Inspector Paul Jones, says the case will now be presented to the coroner.

"We'll review the matter and look at whether there's any further lines of enquiry that need to ... be followed up. Failing that, the brief will be presented to the coroner, it'll be up to him as to whether or not there is ... a hearing in relation to the matter. If it's the case persons will be called to give evidence in relation to that," he said.

He says Judith Young was last seen leaving a property at Gunningbland, west of Parkes, in 1999.

"You need to keep an open mind in these investigations. She's been missing for some time. Without saying we are disappointed if we recovered or located her, it would have been a relief, but it hasn't brought closure to the issue," he said.
